invDescriptor.xml : Inverter

For inherited tags that have not been modified please see the componentDescriptorInterface.xml documentation.

If a tag is inherited, but has been modified or limited in its use it is denoted with an * in the title.

This is not implemented in the tool yet.

Inactive tags

childOf tag*

The childOf tag names the direct parent. For the invDescriptor implementation this is componentDescriptorInterfaceimplementation.

VDcMin tag

This tag describes the minimum operational DC bus voltage.

Attributes:

value: The minimum DC bus voltage. Default is 0 VDC.

unit: The units are V.

VDcMax tag

This tag describes the maximum operational DC bus voltage.

Attributes:

value: The maximum operation DC bus voltage. Default is 1000 VDC.

unit: Units are V.

isModular tag

This tag describes if the inverter is comprised of district inverter modules.

Attributes:

value: boolean. TRUE if the inverter is modular. Default is FALSE.

moduleCount tag

This tag gives the actual number of modules in the specific lineup. Values other than 1 not valid if isModular is FALSE.

Attributes:

value: The number of modules in the lineup. Integer. Default is 1.

unit: NONE.

moduleIDcMax tag

This tag describes the maximum current an inverter module can tolerate.

Attributes:

value: The maximum DC module current. Default is 0 A.

unit: Units are A.

moduleIAcMax tag

This tag describes the maximum AC current an inverter module can tolerate.

Attributes:

value: The maximum AC module current. Default is 0 A.

unit: Units are A.

moduleSMax tag

This tag describes the maximum apparent power of a single module.

Attributes:

value: The maximum apparent power. Default is 0 kVA.

unit: Units are kVA.

busIDcMax tag

This tag describes the maximum DC current the inverter lineup can tolerate.

Attributes:

value: The maximum DC current. Default is 0 A.

unit: Units are A.

busIAcMax tag

This tag describes the maximum AC current the inverter lineup can tolerate.

Attributes:

value: The maximum AC current. Default is 0 A.

unit: Units are A.

busSMax tag

This tag describes the maximum apparent power of the AC interface of the lineup.

Attributes:

value: The maximum apparent power. Default is 0 kVA.

unit: Units are kVA.

isFourQuadrant tag

This tag describes if the inverter is a four quadrant inverter.

Attributes:

value: boolean. TRUE if four quadrant inverter. Default is FALSE.

hasVirtualInertia tag

This tag describes if the inverter lineup can emulate some inertia.

Attributes:

value: boolean. TRUE if inertia can be emulated. Default is FALSE.

needsXFMR tag

This tag describes if the inverter generally requires a transformer between itself and the grid. The reasons for this could be for isolation, to step up/down voltages, or to form a neutral for islanded operation.

Attributes:

value: boolean. TRUE if a transformer is required. Default is FALSE.

canFDroop tag

This tag describes if the unit can be used in frequency droop.

Attributes:

value: boolean. TRUE if frequency droop is possible. Default is FALSE.

canVDroop tag

This tag describes if the unit can be used in voltage droop.

Attributes:

value: boolean. TRUE if voltage droop is possible. Default is FALSE.

technology tag

This tag describes the actual technology used in the semiconductor gates. The following value key is used: 0: IGBT; 1: Thyristor; 2: MOSFET; 3: SiC.

Attributes:

value: Integer describing the inverter technology. See key above.

unit: NONE.
