v1.3 Notes

v1.3.0 (2021-02-20)

  • Allow State variable set check_init=False to skip initialization test. One use case is for integrators with non-zero inputs (such as state-of-charge integration).
  • Solves power flow for systems with multiple areas, each with one Slack generator.
  • Added Jumper for connecting two buses with zero impedance.
  • REGCA1 and synchronous generators can take power ratio parameters gammap and gammaq.
  • New models: IEESGO and IEEET1, EXAC4.

  • Added TGOV1N model which sums pref and paux after the 1/droop block.
  • Added ZIP and FLoad for dynamic analysis. Need to be initialized after power flow.
  • Added DAETimeSeries.get_data() method.
