Query regarding Var limits in CPF

2016-12-30 Thread Shruti Rao
Hi everyone, I had a question about the CPF function in MATPOWER6.0 which I am using to to check the limit induced bifurcation (LIB) points of different systems. I noticed for case300, while the maximum generator var limits were being respected, the minimum var limit of one generator was being

Hi Juliane, I don't have a lot of experience with this, but in one case when I approximated the Var limits, a crass way I used was to approximate the *Qgmax* was by ensuring that (*Pg*^2+*Qgmax*^2) be a reasonable percentage of the MVA rating (say 80 or 90%). If you want it to be accurate, you

Hi Fereshteh, get_losses is an inbuilt MATPower function that computes the branch losses and can also compute the reactive injections from line charging. It can also compute the derivatives with respect to voltage etc. , the details can be found in the manual in Chapter 9. Shruti On Fri, Feb

If the system parameters are the same, it could be because the tolerance levels that were set for the different software were different i.e. the default power balance mismatch tolerances are not always the same in all software. Also probably if the VAR limits are active for PV buses, different

2015-11-01 Thread Shruti Rao
You can get the branch flows on each line from MATPOWER in the output anyway in branch data. It will be displayed in output window as well as if you save your results in a variable say results: results = runpf(case); The branch P and Q flows will be saved in results.branch. You can then calculate

Question about sparsity-based implementation in MATPower

2015-10-18 Thread Shruti Rao
Greetings MATPower community, I had a question about the way sparsity-based techniques are used in the Newton-Raphson solver of the power flow algorithm in MATPower. I ran the code step-by-step and from my understanding, the way the sparsity of the Jacobian matrix is exploited is that it is
