Run PowerFactory with Python Script

[maziar1432]

I'm running initial calculation and RMS simulation in my script and want to get the active power and reactive power coming from the ElmXNet element. I have following lines in my script to retrieve the data:

# Get the ElmXnet element
xnet = app.GetCalcRelevantObjects('External Grid.ElmXnet')
p = xnet.GetAttribute('c:pl')

and I'm getting this error:

AttributeError: 'DataObject' object has no attribute 'c:pl'

wondering if anyone can help me with that and let me know what attribute I should call for this purpose. I've tried pl, p, c:p:bus1 as well and get the similar error.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with pandapower, which looks to be what you're trying to use. Is there any particular Digilent product you're trying to use with it?

import sys

sys.path.append(r'C:\\Program Files\\DIgSILENT\\PowerFactory 2023 SP2\\Python\\3.11')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import powerfactory as pf
    app = pf.GetApplication()
    if app is None:
        raise Exception('Getting PowerFactory application failed')
# Project name and study case
projName = 'Camden Substation'
study_case = 'Consolidated ckts'

# Activate project
project = app.ActivateProject(projName)
proj = app.GetActiveProject()

# Get the study case folder and activate project
oFolder_studycase = app.GetProjectFolder('study')
oCase = oFolder_studycase.GetContents(study_case)[0]
oCase.Activate()

# Get the elmXNet object
elmXNet = app.GetCalcRelevantObjects('External Grid.elmXNet')

# Get the elmRes object
p = elmXNet.GetAttribute('c:pl')

 

This's what I'm running on PF 2023 SP2. Hope I understood your question well!

Are you looking for DIgSILENT rather than Digilent? We are not associated with them and don't provide support for PowerFactory, but it looks like their support channels are described here: https://www.digsilent.de/en/support.html.
