ElmBoundary attributesPowerFactory Boundary
Every attribute of the PowerFactory Boundary (ElmBoundary): 72 input parameters and 23 result variables, with units and meaning. Copy a name into GetAttribute or SetAttribute.
What ElmBoundary is
A boundary: a cut through the network that defines an interior region, for interchange flows and network reduction.
- Class
ElmBoundary, element class- PowerFactory name
- Boundary
- Attributes
- 72 input parameters and 23 result variables, in 5 calculations
Read and write ElmBoundary in Python
import powerfactory
app = powerfactory.GetApplication() # GetApplicationExt() from outside PowerFactory
for obj in app.GetCalcRelevantObjects("*.ElmBoundary"):
print(obj.loc_name, obj.GetAttribute("loc_name")) # Name
obj = app.GetCalcRelevantObjects("*.ElmBoundary")[0]
obj.SetAttribute("loc_name", "Boundary 1") # rename it- An input parameter is read and written with or without its
e:prefix:GetAttribute("outserv")andGetAttribute("e:outserv")give the same value. - RMS and EMT variables change over time: record them in a results object (
ElmRes) to read the whole curve.GetAttributeafter a run gives the value at the last time step.

ElmBoundary input parameters
The element data, as typed in GetAttribute and SetAttribute (the e: prefix is optional). Setting one changes the model.
