 VSC HVDC - POWERFLOW

Sets DC power in PSLF / PowerWorld

Sets AC power in PSS/E
What should we do?
What is the easiest solution and the most meaningful approach?

Fix in translation from one tool to the other
In future releases (into 2015) consider having an option
(additional flag) in the converter model so the user can
select between AC or DC power set point
