Getting Started

Data Format

The DistSystem.System structure expected a DataFrames.jl with the follow columns:

Row │ Branch  FB     TB     Type     R_Ohm    X_ohm    Bus     Amp_pu    P_MW        Q_MVAr      Bshunt_MVAr
    │ Int64   Int64  Int64  String   Float64  Float64  Int64   Float64   Float64     Float64     Float64
────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The active branches must have "Fixed" in Type field.

Dependencies

You will need Julia v1.6 or greater, JuMP.jl v0.23 or greater, and a nonlinear solver compatible with JuMP.jl and the model described below.

Exemple of use

This exemple also can be found in example.jl.

The distribution system of the example is also available in Dolatabadi et. al. (2021).

Roadmap

• Define the model

• Implement the model on JuMP.jl

• High-level interface for HC estimation

• Initial documentation

• Implement the minimization of costs.

• Validate the model with Matpower.

• Implement changes on system's topology.

• Implement tests for others functions

• Describe the relationship between the model and codebase

• Better Documentation

hcestimator.jl's Issues

Change "D"

The name of set "D" is wrong

LoadError when no DER is used.

ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: reducing over an empty collection is not allowed
