ThreePhasePowerModels.jl

Release:

Dev:

ThreePhasePowerModels.jl is an extention package of PowerModels.jl for Steady-State Power Distribution Network Optimization. It is designed to enable computational evaluation of emerging power network formulations and algorithms in a common platform. The code is engineered to decouple problem specifications (e.g. Power Flow, Optimal Power Flow, ...) from the power network formulations (e.g. AC, linear-approximation, SOC-relaxation, ...). This enables the definition of a wide variety of power network formulations and their comparison on common problem specifications.

Core Problem Specifications

• Power Flow (pf)
• Optimal Power Flow (opf), for the Bus Injection Model (BIM) as well as the Branch Flow Model (BFM)

Core Network Formulations

• AC (polar and rectangular coordinates)
• SDP BFM relaxation
• SOC BFM and BIM relaxation (W-space)
• Linear approximation (LinDist3Flow and simplified unbalanced DistFlow)

Network Data Formats

• Matlab ".m" files (extended for three-phase)
• OpenDSS ".dss" files

Warning: This package is under active development and may change drastically without warning.
