# LoadRL _Source: `GridKit/Model/EMT/Component/LoadRL/README.md`_ ## LoadRL Model `LoadRL` represents a three-phase RL load in instantaneous abc coordinates. The load owns the three-phase differential current vector $\mathbf{i}$, which is directed from the load into the bus. ### Model Parameters Symbol | Units | Description | Note --------|------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------- $R_a$ | [$\Omega$] | Load resistance, phase a | $R_b$ | [$\Omega$] | Load resistance, phase b | $R_c$ | [$\Omega$] | Load resistance, phase c | $L_a$ | [H] | Load inductance, phase a | $L_b$ | [H] | Load inductance, phase b | $L_c$ | [H] | Load inductance, phase c | ### Model Derived Parameters ```{math} \begin{aligned} \mathbf{R} &= \operatorname{diag}(R_a, R_b, R_c) \\ \mathbf{L} &= \operatorname{diag}(L_a, L_b, L_c) \end{aligned} ``` ### Model Variables #### Internal Variables ##### Differential Symbol | Units | Description | Note --------------------|-------|------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------- $\mathbf{i}$ | [A] | Load current vector, directed from load into bus | $\mathbf{i} = [i_a, i_b, i_c]^T \in \mathbb{R}^3$ ##### Algebraic None. #### External Variables External variables enter component model equations but are owned by other components. The EMT bus at the load port owns the voltage variable and provides the equation needed to have a balanced system of equations. ##### Differential Symbol | Units | Description | Note -----------------|-------|----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------- $\mathbf{v}$ | [V] | Port voltage vector, owned by EMT bus | $\mathbf{v} = [v_a, v_b, v_c]^T \in \mathbb{R}^3$ ##### Algebraic None. ### Model Equations #### Differential Equations ```{math} 0 = \mathbf{R}\,\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{L}\dot{\mathbf{i}} + \mathbf{v} ``` #### Algebraic Equations None. #### Bus Residual Contributions The RL load contributes to the KCL residual at its port bus. The expression is accumulated into the owning bus residual. ```{math} \mathbf{i}^\text{inj} := \mathbf{i} ``` ### Initialization The initialization assumes a balanced three-phase system. Given the power flow phasor load current $I = |I| \angle \theta$, the initial load current is: ```{math} \mathbf{i}(0) = \sqrt{2}\,|I| \begin{bmatrix} \cos(\theta) \\ \cos(\theta - \tfrac{2\pi}{3}) \\ \cos(\theta + \tfrac{2\pi}{3}) \end{bmatrix} ``` The initial derivative is then given by the RL load equation for DAE consistency: ```{math} \dot{\mathbf{i}}(0) = -\mathbf{L}^{-1}\left(\mathbf{v}(0) + \mathbf{R}\,\mathbf{i}(0)\right) ``` ### Model Outputs Candidate monitorable outputs include the load current components $i_a$, $i_b$, and $i_c$ into the bus.
