Node Class

Description:

Transmission node/bus

See also Node Property Reference for a detailed list of properties for this class of object.

Nodes connect to the transmission system:

• Production resources such as Generator, Battery and Physical Contract; and
• Load resources such as Load, Purchaser, and Power2X; and
• Market objects which can act as a generation or load resource.

Connection to other Node object is made with Line and Transformer objects.

A Node must belong to a Region and may belong to one or more Zone objects. Electric load is defined directly with the Load property or through the Region or Zone(s) with the Load Participation Factor property.

A Node might be part of a simple 'transportation' network or a complex ac transmission network. For ac networks, a Node represents a 'bus' in the transmission network, and Line and Transformer objects represent ac or dc lines and transformers respectively.
