Modules

• init : initialises Powerfactory in engine mode and activates project and study case
• return_objects: prints network elements of interest within currently activated project
• set_loads: will set system loads randomly from a probability distrubution
• reset_loads_to_nominal: resets all loads in the system from values previously saved to a .csv file
• get_loads_from_file: read and return loads saved in a csv file
• set_all_loads_pq: sets all active and reactive loads in the system. Scaling of loads can also be achieved.
• get_all_loads_pq: return all current system active and reactive loads
• set_dispatch: set system dispatch to match system loads
• prepare_dynamic_sim: prepares dynamic simulation initial conditions and runs load flow
• enable_short_circuits: lines are by default unavailable. This function sets available for all lines in system
• create_short_circuit: creates a short circuit in Powerfactory's events folder
• delete_short_circuit: removes short circuit from events folder
• run_dynamic_sim: executes RMS simulation
• get_voltage_scan: returns results voltage violations from simulation scan
• get_frequency_scan: returns results frequency violations from simulation scan
• calculate_system_inertia: calculates total system inertia given a specific operating condition
• calculate_spinning_reserve: calculates total system spinning reserve given a specific operating condition
• get_dynamic_results: returns simulation results
• prepare_loadflow: prepares conditions for power flow calulation
• run_loadflow: executes power flow calculation
• get_bus_voltages: returns all bus voltages following power flow calculation
