ElmSubstat attributesPowerFactory Substation
Every attribute of the PowerFactory Substation (ElmSubstat): 42 input parameters and 57 result variables, with units and meaning. Copy a name into GetAttribute or SetAttribute.
What ElmSubstat is
A substation: the container for the busbars, breakers and bays of one site.
- Class

- 42 input parameters and 57 result variables, in 3 calculations
Read and write ElmSubstat in Python
import powerfactory
app = powerfactory.GetApplication() # GetApplicationExt() from outside PowerFactory
for obj in app.GetCalcRelevantObjects("*.ElmSubstat"):
print(obj.loc_name, obj.GetAttribute("loc_name")) # Name
obj = app.GetCalcRelevantObjects("*.ElmSubstat")[0]
obj.SetAttribute("loc_name", "Substation A") # rename the substation- An input parameter is read and written with or without its
e:prefix:GetAttribute("outserv")andGetAttribute("e:outserv")give the same value.
ElmSubstat input parameters
The element data, as typed in GetAttribute and SetAttribute (the e: prefix is optional). Setting one changes the model.
