Governor Dadband Modeling Improvement
• 14 governor models with deadband

blocks were released in PSS®E
versions 33.10 and 34.2
• MISO did extensive testing of these
new models on the Eastern IEEEG1*
Interconnection with very encouraging
results
asymmetrical dead-band

PSS®E Playback Model
PLBVFU1 Overview
• The PLBVFU1 model plays back a known set of voltage

and frequency signals
• The PLBVFU1 model acts as a generator model

(with no excitation system or turbine-governor models)
• The played-in voltage and frequency signals must be

included in a data input file
