Re: Non-Convergence of Load Flow in Reconfiguration / Restoration Situations (via Optimization)

2017-07-03 Thread Mirko Todorovski
I would suggest that you try to use the option for setting exp.sys_wide_zip_loads.pw. If you model all loads as constant admittances by using pw = [0 0 1] you will certainly get a solution with YSUM since in this case the network is linear and the solution will be obtained in single iteration. If

Mr. Ray, thanks for the answer! But in addition to the runpf () function, in what other functions should I make the change in the number of iterations? De: bounce-121637368-77188...@list.cornell.edu em nome de Ray

1. I would simply copy an existing case file and then modify the data to match your system. 2. For a generator representing a renewable source, you will need to update PG (for a power flow) or PMAX (for an OPF) to indicate the renewable power available at the time being simulated by your power

If you have a solved AC power flow, that’s a good start. Normally, the first step I try when faced with an OPF that won’t converge is to eliminate the branch flow limits by setting the RATE_A column of the branch matrix to zero (or by increasing the values by some factor). In your case, you can

The apply_changes() function can be used to disable branches and buses by setting the BR_STATUS to column to 0 for a branch or the BUS_TYPE column to NONE for a bus, but it cannot be used to actually delete rows from the branch and bus matrices. For example, to disconnect branch 3 and bus 4,

MATPOWER does not use GA for any of its optimizations, so it seems like this is related to your own code and not to MATPOWER. I suggest checking the documentation for the GA solver you are using. Ray > On Jun 21, 2017, at 4:14 AM, Roshani Thapa wrote: > > I

Re: DCOPF not converge

2017-07-03 Thread Ray Zimmerman
Hi Prem, If you are solving each island individually, the DC OPF should converge as long as (1) you have a reference bus in the island, (2) there is adequate generation to cover the load in the island, and (3) the line constraints do not prevent the generated power from reaching the loads.

There is not necessarily anything unusual about this. If the generators are relatively expensive and their PMIN value is zero, it may be economical to dispatch them at 0 MW output. Ray > On Jun 9, 2017, at 8:15 PM, Xinwen Ni wrote: > > Hi, all > > I built a test
