pandapower case study

This repository includes an exemplary case study that demonstrates the capabilities of pandapower. The case study showcases some pandapower functionality and is also used in a reference paper for pandapower, which has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transaction on Power Systems. A preprint of this paper is available on arXiv. Please acknowledge the usage of pandapower by citing the Paper as follows:

The case study consists of three parts, which are available in interactive jupyter notebooks:

1. Definition of a 10kV ring main grid in radial operation (grid.ipynb)
2. Analysis of all possible switching states in the grid to analyse feasible switch positions considering radiality and short-circuit constraints (switch_evaluation.ipynb)
3. Time series simulation for one day optimising switching states and transformer taps considering active power losses, line loading, transformer loading and voltage constraints (time_series_simulation.ipynb)

The case study works with pandapower 1.4.3.
