Modelling static generator measurements correctly in pgm

[AnkurArohi]

We would like to know how can we model the https://power-grid-model.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api_reference/python-api-reference.html#power_grid_model.enum.MeasuredTerminalType

MeasuredTerminalType for measurements of static generator without explicit voltage reference, should that be a source or an explicit generator. Please also let us lknow what are the inherent modelling differences for those types.

Hi @AnkurArohi, thanks for the question! A static generator should be modelled as a generator. A source is representing an external network with an infinite voltage source, for example: in a distribution grid the transmission grid can be modelled as source. The loads and generators in the grid should be modelled as loads and generators.

You can find how both are modelled here:

• source: https://power-grid-model.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_manual/components.html#source
• generator: https://power-grid-model.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_manual/components.html#generic-load-and-generator

Both contain a section "electric model" which explains how it is modelled. Hope this helps!
