These files are outdated for Simulator version 8.0 and later. Their descriptions are still maintained here as they can still be read into Simulator. However, they can no longer be saved. These records are now stored in Auxiliary Script/Data Files.
The generator capability curves are used to model the dependence of the generator reactive power limits and the generator’s real power output. The generator reactive capability curves files have the following format, with one generator per line:
num or name, ID, P1, Q1,max,Q1,min, P2, Q2,max, Q2,min ... Pn, Qn,max, Qn,min
where
num/name the generator’s bus number or the bus’ name in single quotes,
ID the generator’s single character id,
Pi a generator MW output value,
Qi,max and Qi,min the associated maximum and minimum reactive power limits.
Version 11 and later of Simulator allow for an unlimited number of capability curve points to be read from the gcp file. Up to 10 different P/Qmax/Qmin values may be specified in older versions of Simulator.
