Warning 113 | [PSCAD™] | Cannot find output TITLE=


Relevant software:

PSCAD™


Emitted message:

Could not find the specified channel in any loaded PSCAD case file or libary file - check for potential typos
info

Prior to gridmo Engine v1.4.23, the gridmo Engine would automatically enable any channel recording blocks which matched the specified TITLE= argument.

However, from gridmo Engine v1.4.23 onwards, the gridmo Engine does not enable any disabled PSCAD™ channels. This is to avoid raising output is ambiguous warnings.

Description:​

This warning indicates that the gridmo Engine could not find the specified output channel in the loaded PSCAD™ workspace.

Click here for details on the OUTPUT command.

Possible impact:​

  • Missing data in simulation results - attached Plot Node(s) may appear empty
caution

When an output channel cannot be found, no data will be captured for that channel in your simulation results.

Potential fixes:​

gridmo Template changes not yet made​

The majority of OUTPUT commands in gridmo's standard power system templates use built-in channels within the smiby block.

However, some channel data, such as P, Q and V at inverter terminals or status signals, need to come from elsewhere in your PSCAD™ model.

gridmo web-app global variables showing terminal TITLE= to change

Review the OUTPUT commands in your gridmo web-app's $pscad_outputs Global Variable and check all TITLE= arguments that do not start with smiby have been renamed for your project (those highlighted above in red).

Check for typos in the channel name​

Verify that the TITLE= parameter in your OUTPUT command exactly matches the channel name in your PSCAD™ model. TITLE= is case-sensitive.

Verify the channel exists in your model and is enabled​

Confirm that the channel you're trying to record actually exists in your PSCAD™ model. You can do this by:

  1. Opening your PSCAD™ case file
  2. Searching for the TITLE= argument in the project
  3. Checking that the output recording block is enabled

Add the missing channel​

If the channel doesn't exist in your model, you may need to add an output recording block to capture the signal you're interested in.
