Warning 168 | [PSCAD™] | Cannot find smiby block
Relevant software:
Emitted message:
Could not find the 'smiby' block in the loaded PSCAD workspace. The smiby block is required for all gridmo features except for SET commands. Please ensure your PSCAD model contains a smiby block.
Description:
The gridmo Engine cannot find the 'smiby' block in the loaded PSCAD™ workspace. The smiby block is a special PSCAD™ component released by gridmo that enables advanced simulation features and control capabilities.
This warning occurs when your PSCAD™ model doesn't contain the required smiby block that gridmo uses for most of its functionality.
The smiby block is essential for gridmo's PSCAD™ simulation capabilities. Without it, you'll be limited to basic parameter setting operations only.
Impact:
Without the smiby block, you can only use basic SET commands. The following gridmo Commands are not available:
- Dynamic control commands (
CONTROL) - Fault simulation (
SIMPLEFAULT,VDISTURBANCE) - External grid controls (voltage, frequency and/or angle playback)
- Transient overvoltage testing (
TOVTEST) - Voltage oscillation testing (
VOLT_OSCIL) - Output channels and monitoring built into smiby
Potential fixes:
If you only need SET commands:
If you only need to modify PSCAD™ parameters and don't require dynamic simulation features (for example, wide area PSCAD simulations), you can continue without the smiby block. However, most gridmo PSCAD™ simulations require the smiby block for full functionality.
Add the smiby block to your PSCAD™ model:
Follow the instructions in the smiby section of the gridmo documentation.
