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
  • ACRPowerModel
  • 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
