Fundamental Classes and Components

The following is a list of fundamental classes and components that are included in the library:

  • Electric Port

    • The ElectricPort class is used to transfer power system information between components to form power system networks. It is the foundation of the Power System Library and serves as a substitute the generic NPSS port for electric components.

  • Complex Number

    • The ComplexNumber class is used by the ElectricPort component to perform the calculations required for the implementation of phasors (phase vectors). These are necessary to accurately model power system components using alternating current (AC1) or three-phase (AC3) electric power.

  • Electric Node (Bus)

    • The Enode class is used as a bus or electrical node that may connect to an arbitrary number of components. The Enode is required when a component must connect to more than one components.

  • Inverter & Rectifier Map

  • Motor & GeneratorMap

  • EThermal Mass

  • Interpreted Assembly

  • Interpreted Port

This wiki page is intended to serve as documentation for the NPSS Power System Library (PSL). The PSL is maintained by NASA at the NASA Glenn Research Center, and funded by the Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) project. A detailed table of contents for this page can be found in the Home page.
