Attributes​

NameTypeDescription
customerCountIntegerNumber of individual customers represented by this demand.
groundedBooleanUsed for Yn and Zn connections. True if the neutral is solidly grounded.
pActivePowerActive power of the load. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node.
For voltage dependent loads the value is at rated voltage.
Starting value for a steady state solution.
pfixedActivePowerActive power of the load that is a fixed quantity and does not vary as load group value varies. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node.
phaseConnectionPhaseShuntConnectionKindThe type of phase connection, such as wye or delta.
qReactivePowerReactive power of the load. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node.
For voltage dependent loads the value is at rated voltage.
Starting value for a steady state solution.
qfixedReactivePowerReactive power of the load that is a fixed quantity and does not vary as load group value varies. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node.
