Initial conditions solve fail to converge in a trivial model

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi
I am trying to build a model of a simple microgrid using SimPowerSystems elements. The microgrid contains two synchronous generators in parallel connected to a substation which feed a synchronous motor. I see this error every time I run the simulation: "Initial conditions solve fail to converge" and a detailed report of the equations of various elements which may have caused the problem (and I don't know how these errors could be solved)
Then I simplified the model, incrementally building it, and I saw this error at the very beginning. (File is attached) This model has a Sync generator, a step-up transformer and two three phase loads, delta: RC & Y: R.
Anyone has encountered the same problem, or have an idea? P.S: I reduced the consistency tolerance to 5e-6 (as suggested in Simulin help), but the problem didn't resolve.

You should check parameters of the transformer and the generator. Read help for the each model.

For those who encounter the same problem, Synchronous generator output is modeled as a current source. Thus, connecting a transformer is not allowed as it has a leakage inductance. I connected a high-impedance load in parallel to the transformer and the problem was solved. However, I used the elements in the following library for convenience: SimPowerSystem/Fundamental Blocks
