Class Description

An AC electrical connection point to a piece of conducting equipment. Terminals are connected at physical connection points called connectivity nodes.

Attributes

Name Type Description
phases PhaseCode Represents the normal network phasing condition. If the attribute is missing, three phases (ABC) shall be assumed, except for terminals of grounding classes (specializations of EarthFaultCompensator, GroundDisconnector, GroundSwitch, and Ground) which will be assumed to be N. Therefore, phase code ABCN is explicitly declared when needed, e.g. for star point grounding equipment.
The phase code on terminals connecting same ConnectivityNode or same TopologicalNode as well as for equipment between two terminals shall be consistent.

Associations

Source Class Cardinality Source Target Class Cardinality Target Source Name Source Assoc. Description Target Name Target Assoc. Description
Feeder 0..1 Terminal 1..* NormalHeadFeeder The feeder that this terminal normally feeds. Only specified for the terminals at head of feeders. NormalHeadTerminal The normal head terminal or terminals of the feeder.
Terminal 0..* ConductingEquipment 1 Terminals Conducting equipment have terminals that may be connected to other conducting equipment terminals via connectivity nodes or topological nodes. ConductingEquipment The conducting equipment of the terminal. Conducting equipment have terminals that may be connected to other conducting equipment terminals via connectivity nodes or topological nodes.
Terminal 0..* ConnectivityNode 0..1 Terminals Terminals interconnected with zero impedance at a this connectivity node. ConnectivityNode The connectivity node to which this terminal connects with zero impedance.
Terminal 0..1 RegulatingControl 0..* Terminal The terminal associated with this regulating control. The terminal is associated instead of a node, since the terminal could connect into either a topological node or a connectivity node. Sometimes it is useful to model regulation at a terminal of a bus bar object. RegulatingControl The controls regulating this terminal.
Terminal 0..* TopologicalNode 0..1 Terminal The terminals associated with the topological node. This can be used as an alternative to the connectivity node path to terminal, thus making it unnecessary to model connectivity nodes in some cases. Note that if connectivity nodes are in the model, this association would probably not be used as an input specification. TopologicalNode The topological node associated with the terminal. This can be used as an alternative to the connectivity node path to topological node, thus making it unnecessary to model connectivity nodes in some cases. Note that the if connectivity nodes are in the model, this association would probably not be used as an input specification.
MutualCoupling 0..* Terminal 1 HasFirstMutualCoupling Mutual couplings associated with the branch as the first branch. First_Terminal The starting terminal for the calculation of distances along the first branch of the mutual coupling. Normally MutualCoupling would only be used for terminals of AC line segments. The first and second terminals of a mutual coupling should point to different AC line segments.
MutualCoupling 0..* Terminal 1 HasSecondMutualCoupling Mutual couplings with the branch associated as the first branch. Second_Terminal The starting terminal for the calculation of distances along the second branch of the mutual coupling.
TransformerEnd 0..* Terminal 0..1 TransformerEnd All transformer ends connected at this terminal. Terminal Terminal of the power transformer to which this transformer end belongs.
ACDCConverter 0..* Terminal 0..1 ConverterDCSides All converters' DC sides linked to this point of common coupling terminal. PccTerminal Point of common coupling terminal for this converter DC side. It is typically the terminal on the power transformer (or switch) closest to the AC network.
AuxiliaryEquipment 0..* Terminal 1 AuxiliaryEquipment The auxiliary equipment connected to the terminal. Terminal The Terminal at the equipment where the AuxiliaryEquipment is attached.
EquipmentFault 0..* Terminal 0..1 EquipmentFaults The equipment faults at this terminal. Terminal The terminal connecting to the bus to which the fault is applied.
BranchGroupTerminal 0..* Terminal 1 BranchGroupTerminal The directed branch group terminals for which this terminal is monitored. Terminal The terminal to be summed.
TieFlow 0..2 Terminal 1 TieFlow The control area tie flows to which this terminal associates. Terminal The terminal to which this tie flow belongs.
SvPowerFlow 0..* Terminal 1 SvPowerFlow The power flow state variable associated with the terminal. Terminal The terminal associated with the power flow state variable.
RemoteInputSignal 0..* Terminal 1 RemoteInputSignal Input signal coming from this terminal. Terminal Remote terminal with which this input signal is associated.
Circuit 0..1 Terminal 0..* Circuit EndTerminal
PinTerminal 0..* Terminal 1 PinTerminal Terminal The Terminal that should be used in compare.
Bushing 0..1 Terminal 0..1 Bushing Terminal Terminal to which this bushing is attached.
