PowerModelACDC.jl Documentation

Overview

PowerModelsACDC.jl is a Julia/JuMP package extending PowerModels.jl, which focuses on Steady-State Power Network Optimization. PowerModels.jl provides utilities for parsing and modifying network data and is designed to enable computational evaluation of emerging power network formulations and algorithms in a common platform.

PowerModelsACDC.jl adds new problem types:

  • Power flow with both ac and dc lines, from point-to-point connections to meshed grids, with converters connecting ac and dc grid lines
  • The equivalent optimal power flow problem type and TNEP problem type

PowerModelsACDC.jl extends the formulation hierarchy developed for AC grids, with equivalent DC grid and converter station formulations:

  • ACPPowerModel
  • DCPPowerModel
  • SOCWRPowerModel
  • SDPWRMPowerModel
  • QCWRPowerModel
  • QCWRTriPowerModel
  • LPACPowerModel

Developed by:

  • Hakan Ergun, Jay Dave KU Leuven / EnergyVille
  • Frederik Geth, CSIRO

Installation of PowerModelACDC

The latest stable release of PowerModelACDC can be installed using the Julia package manager with

Pkg.add("PowerModelsACDC")

The current version of PowerModelsACDC is 0.3.2 and is compatible with PowerModels v0.17.2, InfrastrucureModels v0.5.3

!!! Important This is a research-grade optimization package.
