Grid Systems#

The following example shows how to utilize the predefined systems. The available systems are listed after the examples.

Example — Using a predefined grid system

from pars.grid_config import get_default_system

config = get_default_system(name='Weak_LV_Grid_LCL_Filter_2L_conv')

The user can also create custom grid systems by combining individual components in examples/grid/pars/grid_parameter_sets.json, under parameter_sets as shown below

Example — Creating a grid system from components

"Weak_LV_Grid_LCL_Filter_2L_conv": {
  "description": [
      "2-level converter connected to a weak low voltage grid via an LCL filter"
  ],
  "grid": "Weak_LV_Grid",
  "filter": "LCL_Filter_fr_1300",
  "converter": "2L_LV_Converter"
}

The components are defined in the same file, and predefined components can be found in the components section.
