技术领域technical field
本发明涉及电力系统数据分析领域，具体涉及一种基于面向对象的PSD潮流数据与稳定数据编辑和校正方法。The invention relates to the field of power system data analysis, in particular to an object-oriented PSD power flow data and stability data editing and correction method.
背景技术Background technique
PSD电力系统分析程序是由中国电力科学研究院开发的电力系统分析软件包，包含潮流、稳定、短路电流、小干扰计算分析等多个计算程序，广泛应用于电力系统分析、规划等领域。PSD power system analysis program is a power system analysis software package developed by China Electric Power Research Institute. It includes multiple calculation programs such as power flow, stability, short-circuit current, and small disturbance calculation and analysis. It is widely used in power system analysis, planning and other fields.
潮流数据和稳定数据是PSD分析计算的两大基础数据，其数据填写需按照卡片分别进行，使用时要分别填写元件对应的潮流数据、稳定数据、稳定计算输出部分，以线路元件为例：先打开潮流文件，填写线路卡(L卡)的两侧母线名称、两侧电压、平行码、正序参数等；然后打开稳定文件，对应填写线路零序卡(LO卡)的两侧母线名称、两侧电压、平行码、零序参数等；最后填写稳定计算输出部分，还要在稳定文件中再填写输出线路卡(L卡和LC卡)，L卡和LC卡都需要再次填写线路两侧母线名称、两侧电压、平行码。线路两侧母线名称、两侧电压和平行码确定了线路的唯一性，上述四处卡片的名称和电压必须统一，如有不同则卡片无效。Power flow data and stability data are the two basic data for PSD analysis and calculation. The data filling needs to be carried out separately according to the card. When using it, it is necessary to fill in the power flow data, stability data, and stability calculation output corresponding to the component. Take the line component as an example: first Open the power flow file, fill in the names of the buses on both sides of the line card (L card), the voltage on both sides, parallel codes, positive sequence parameters, etc.; then open the stable file, and fill in the names of the buses on both sides of the line zero sequence card (LO card), Voltage on both sides, parallel code, zero-sequence parameters, etc.; finally fill in the output part of the stability calculation, and then fill in the output line card (L card and LC card) in the stability file. Both the L card and the LC card need to fill in the two sides of the line again Bus name, voltage on both sides, parallel code. The name of the bus on both sides of the line, the voltage on both sides and the parallel code determine the uniqueness of the line. The names and voltages of the above four cards must be unified. If they are different, the cards will be invalid.
传统数据填写过程操作重复，在大量数据录入过程效率低下，容易因人为错误导致同一元器件在不同卡片中参数不对应导致参数无效或错误，一些元器件的部分卡片或者卡片中的部分参数(如变压器的零序参数)允许缺失，一些元器件的部分参数存在缺省值(如线路的零序参数)，因此一旦给定参数无效 或者错误，并不影响PSD开展计算，而且这种使用无效或者错误的参数进行计算的结果难以发觉，给计算工作带来巨大的隐患。The operation of the traditional data filling process is repetitive, and the efficiency of a large amount of data entry process is low. It is easy to cause the parameters of the same component in different cards to be inconsistent due to human error, resulting in invalid or wrong parameters. Some cards of some components or some parameters in the card (such as Zero-sequence parameters of transformers) are allowed to be missing, and some parameters of some components have default values (such as zero-sequence parameters of lines), so once the given parameters are invalid or wrong, it will not affect the calculation of PSD, and this use is invalid or It is difficult to detect the result of calculation with wrong parameters, which brings huge hidden dangers to the calculation work.
传统的参数填写方法全部是文本，需要人工解析，如稳定计算输出部分的输出选择，填写的参数为数字0-7，这8种类型表示是否输出到3种类型的文件，很不直观。The traditional method of filling in parameters is all text, which requires manual analysis. For example, in the output selection of the stable calculation output part, the parameters to be filled in are numbers 0-7. These 8 types indicate whether to output to 3 types of files, which is not intuitive.
本发明提出的基于面向对象变成思想完善了PSD数据编辑功能，通过采用面向对象思想，将PSD元器件的潮流参数、稳定参数、稳定计算输出部分通过控件形式提供给用户进行统一编辑，实现了潮流数据、稳定数据、稳定计算输出部分同步编辑和校正，避免了人为失误导致数据无效或者错误，增强了PSD数据的准确性，提高了PSD数据的录入效率和准确性。The object-oriented idea proposed by the present invention improves the PSD data editing function. By adopting the object-oriented idea, the power flow parameters, stable parameters, and stable calculation output parts of PSD components are provided to users in the form of controls for unified editing. The tidal current data, stable data, and stable calculation output are edited and corrected synchronously, which avoids data invalidation or errors caused by human errors, enhances the accuracy of PSD data, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of PSD data entry.
