Hi Sergio, Are you familiar with the network reduction toolbox in the extras directory in MATPOWER? You can see the very brief documentation here<https://github.com/MATPOWER/mx-reduction/blob/master/Network_Reduction_Toolbox.pdf>.
How does your reduction techniques compare to the modified Ward reduction already implemented? I would love to have these reduction capabilities enhanced and better documented, so you are more than welcome to contribute your code and input toward that goal. Thanks, Ray On Apr 6, 2020, at 12:05 PM, Sergio Raul Rivera Rodriguez <srrive...@unal.edu.co<mailto:srrive...@unal.edu.co>> wrote: Dear Antonio, thanks for your e-mail, your code sounds great I work intensively in matpower for my research area (Integration of Renewable Energy Sources in Power Systems and optimization). At this moment, I am working in reduction technique in order to get prototype power systems (with a small number of buses) of large size power systems, and a graphical representation would be great. I am interested in your idea, you can share the code and we could work on it together to improve it. Additionally, we can think in join papers. You can review my last papers here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergio_Rivera/contributions If you want, I can share with you the reduction codes that we are using in our reserach, or codes of my publications. best regards _________________________________ Sergio Rivera, E.E, PhD, IEEE Senior Member Head of Electrical Engineering Doctoral and Master Programs Associate Professor Universidad Nacional de Colombia email: srrive...@unal.edu.co<mailto:srrive...@unal.edu.co> webs: http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/liines/People/sergio/index.php<http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/liines/people/sergio/index.php> https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergio_Rivera/contributions http://mechatronics.mit.edu/sergio/ https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=BP8jANUAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate El lun., 6 abr. 2020 a las 12:33, Antonio Pepiciello (<antoniopepicie...@gmail.com<mailto:antoniopepicie...@gmail.com>>) escribió: Dear developers, sorry for the double post, but by graphical inspection (I have just understood how useful it can be :) ) I found out that there was an error in the code, leading to a wrong representation of the power flows, that were mixed up in the previously attached files. You can find the updated graphs with the right values attached to this email. Best regards, Antonio ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Antonio Pepiciello <antoniopepicie...@gmail.com<mailto:antoniopepicie...@gmail.com>> Date: lun 6 apr 2020 alle ore 19:08 Subject: Graphical representation of power flow solution To: <MATPOWER-DEV-L@cornell.edu<mailto:MATPOWER-DEV-L@cornell.edu>> Dear developers, I started developing a Matlab code for the graphical representation of power flow solutions in matlab. I think it could be a good functionality to have in Matpower, in order to get an immediate overview of the solution. The representation can be improved a lot to portrait more information and to be more organized. I attach some examples to this email. 9busPF.png This figure shows the power flows (only the real power) for the 9bus case study. The lines show the power flows. The arrow shows their direction. Their color and width is proportional to the power carried. The power flows are explicitly represented. The generation buses are red, the load ones are green, the interconnecting ones are blue and the ones with both load and generation are magenta. Their size is proportional to the power generated/absorbed. 24busPF.png In this case the graph is more minimalistic. DC_OPF.png In this case, the lines who reached their transmission capacity are shown in red. If you are interested, I can share the code and we could work on it together to improve it. Thanks and best regards, Antonio Pepiciello
