Text can be used to place extra information anywhere in the network. A text field may contain text or the result from a macro. A combination of text and macro language is not allowed.

 

 

PARAMETERS

 

Text

 

 

 

MACRO

 

Input data and calculated results can be shown on the network diagram. Also arithmetic operations on results can be shown. In order to do this, a macro language has been defined. For a more extensive description of the macro, see: Macros.

 

Only operations on variables are allowed in text field macros. It is not possible to alter input data from the text field. The macro commands which are available in a text field are:

•operation commands

oset

oadd

osubtract

omultiply

odivide

•conditional command

oif ... end

•loop commands

owhile ... end

orepeat ... until

ofor ... end

•reporting command

otext

 

Using the Text command a user defined text between single quotes or a variable can be printed.

 

If a macro is defined before a calculation is carried out, a message is printed on screen:

 'Attribute value not available at execution of line .......'

 

Therefore it is recommended to insert an if-statement to check whether loadflow results are available.

 

Example:

 if(network.result,=,'LF')

         set(mytext,'The voltage on node Station 4 is:')

         add(mytext,Node('Station 4').Upu)

         add(mytext,' pu and ')

         add(mytext,Node('Station 4').U)

         add(mytext,' kV')

         text(mytext)

 

         set(mytext,'And the load on that node is:')

         add(mytext,Transformerload(':Station 4').PL)

         add(mytext,' MW as input and ')

         add(mytext,Transformerload(':Station 4').P)

         add(mytext,' MW calculated.')

         text(mytext)

 

         set(myp,0)

         set(mytext,'Total load in selection MV-network is:')

         forselection(load('MV-network'),myload)

                 add(myp,myload.p)

         end

         add(mytext,myp)

         add(mytext,' MW')

         text(mytext)

 end

 

Yields:

 The voltage on node Station 4 is: 1.042 pu and 156.3 kV

 And the load on that node is: 0.255 MW as input 0.277 MW calculated.

 Total load in selection MV-network is: 10.308 MW

 

Text colour of text boxes in Result mode

If the text in the diagram is a macro generated text, its colour can be set using the command: TextResultColor(i), where i is an integer value between 0 and 14, representing the colours: black, grey, light grey, navy, blue, aqua, purple, fuchsia, green, lime, teal, maroon, red, yellow and white.
