Distributed slack bus
richardkue opened this issue · 6 comments
Are there any needs or current developments regarding a distributed slack bus in the power flow calculation?
Sorry for the delayed response ...
Since MOST is based on the optimal power flow problem, rather than a simple power flow, it does not use the concept of a slack bus at all.
Assuming you are actually referring to distributed slack capabilities in MATPOWER (issue tracker here) as opposed to MOST, that is in runpf(), the answer is that we do not currently have any specific plans under way to add this capability, but would be happy to consider any code contributions toward it.
I meant a distributed slack in runpf and I am thinking about making a contribution.
Is an implementation in one algorithm (e.g. Newton, power, polar) enough to get into a release?
EDIT: Sorry, I just realised I posted my issue in the wrong repository. The issue should be in matpower.
At my own fork of the matpower repository I created a pull request with a concept/idea on how to implement a power flow with distributed slack bus.
I would appreciate it if you have a quick look and can give me some feedback!
If you don't mind, could you please create a new issue in the matpower repository and I'll follow up there. Thanks.
I created a new issue in matpower. This one can be closed. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Further discussion moved to MATPOWER/matpower#136.
