.. _ReleaseNotes: ============= Release notes ============= The APIs before v3.0.0 are in beta and may change without prior notice. v1.9 Notes ========== v1.9.3 (2024-04-XX) ------------------- - In symbolic processor, most variables are assumed to be real, except some services that are specified as complex. This will allow generating simplified expressions. - Adjust `BusFreq.Tw.default` to 0.1. - Add parameter from_csv=None in TDS.run() to allow loading data from CSV files at TDS begining. - Fix `TDS.init()` and `TDS._csv_step()` to fit loading from CSV when `Output` exists. v1.9.2 (2024-03-25) ------------------- - Improve PSS/E parser for the `wmod` field in the static generator section. - Consider line status when parsing PSS/E file. - Added functions in `Line` for building network admittance matrix, `Bdc` matrix for DC power flow, and `Bp` and `Bpp` matrices for fast decoupled power flow. See ``build_y``, ``build_b`` and ``build_Bdc``. v1.9.1 (2024-02-04) ------------------- This is a hotfix to pass ``pip check`` for KVXOPT version. v1.9.0 (2024-02-01) ------------------- - Initially, ``dae.t`` is set to ``-1.0`` during power flow calculation. TDS initialization will set ``dae.t = 0.0``. - Rewritten the islanding detection algorithm. - In ``system.py``, import ``importlib.util`` to workaround unexported `util` module in Python 3.10. v1.8 Notes ========== v1.8.10 (2023-08-10) -------------------- - An internal change to the xlsx parser option. Previously, the index column was set to 0, which assumes the existence of `uid` as the header. Manually input sheets without `uid` will fail. This version unsets the index column when using pandas to parse the xlsx file. - `Jumper` is included for connectivity check. - Add curly brackets for LaTeX symbols from sub-blocks. Nested symbols with subscripts and superscripts now display properly. v1.8.9 (2023-06-22) ------------------- - Fix `Model.alter()` for parameters that are time constants for differential equations. Altered time constants are now properly updated in ``dae.Tf`` and will be correctly reflected in simulation results. - Fix a bug in connectivity check. - Support numba for Python 3.11. v1.8.8 (2023-04-24) ------------------- - Repository transferred to `github.com/curent/andes`. - Fix for frequency-dependent load model ``FLoad`` by not exporting the external `bus` parameter. v1.8.7 (2023-03-10) ------------------- - Added IEEE 39-bus test case with dynamics in the ANDES xlsx format. Contributed by @jinningwang. - In `interop.pandapower`, the `_verify_pf` function will not be called if TDS has been initialized. This prevents the breaking of variable addresses. v1.8.6 (2023-02-13) ------------------- - Minor fix in `timeseries.py` for backward compatibility with Python 3.6. v1.8.5 (2022-12-22) ------------------- - Fixed an issue to properly handle turning off a ``Jumper``. - New interface to GridCal by @JosepFanals. GridCal installation required. - Bug fixes in WTARA1. v1.8.4 (2022-11-23) ------------------- - Fixed a bug in time stepping where step sizes were not properly reduced when the solver failed to converge. v1.8.3 (2022-11-15) ------------------- - Support Python 3.11. The average performance gain is a few percent. - Made ``numba`` an optional dependency because it does not yet support Python 3.11. - Fixes a bug in the time stepping logic that causes resumed simulations to overwrite the result of the previous final step. v1.8.2 (2022-10-30) ------------------- This is a minor release to support SymPy 1.11.x. Internally, ``ModelData`` contains a new member field ``index_bases`` to record the variables by which other variables are indexed. Most variables, by default, are indexed by ``idx``. Some models (such as COI) whose device can link to multiple other devices can have multiple index bases. Index bases are currently placeholders and have not been used in the current version. v1.8.1 (2022-09-24) ------------------- - New turbine governor model :ref:`HYGOV4`. Thanks to Zaid Mahmood for the contribution. - Bug fixes to saving data to xlsx file. v1.8.0 (2022-08-30) ------------------- - Internal change: drop the support for reloading generated code from ``calls.pkl``. All generated code are serialized into Python files and reloaded as a ``pycode`` module. - Fix an issue where cases in multiprocessing fail to serialize due to not being able to find ``pycode``. ``pycode`` is now properly imported by the main process. - When one needs to serialize a System object, such as during multiprocessing, one needs to manually import ``pycode``. This can be done by calling ``andes.system.import_pycode()``. - Internal change: serializing with ``dill`` is not set to recursive by default. v1.7 Notes ========== v1.7.8 (2022-08-24) ------------------- - Support marking tests as extra so that they are not run by default. The function names for extra tests should contain ``extra_test``. To run all tests, use ``andes st -e`` or ``andes selftest --extra``. - Add the ``new_A`` flag for sparse solvers to trigger actions. Currently, only the ``spsolve`` solver will need to rebuild and refactorize the sparse matrix. v1.7.7 (2022-08-02) ------------------- - Implemented a chattering detection and stop algorithm by increasing the step size when chattering is detected. - ``TimeSeries.get_data()`` works for systems with ``Output``. - Allow freezing states associated with anti-windup limiters after a certain number of iterations to prevent chattering. Models: - New exciter models: ESDC1A, EXAC2. - New grid-forming inverter models: REGF1, REGF2, REGF3. - For ``IEEEG1``, normalize ``K1`` through ``K8`` if they do not sum up to 1.0 v1.7.6 (2022-07-11) ------------------- - In eigenvalue analysis, added parameter sweeping and scatter plot for root loci. See revised Example 4. - Documentation improvements. v1.7.5 (2022-07-05) ------------------- - Added :ref:`Fortescue` model to support symmetric component calculation. The model allows interfacing a positive-sequence bus with three buses representing three phases. See the model description for details. - Added :ref:`PLL2` for the Synchronously-rotating Reference Frame (SRF)-based PLL. - :ref:`REGCP1` works identically to :ref:`REGCA1` when the `pll` parameter is empty and works with a PLL. - :ref:`REECA1` is updated to work with `vd` of the converter. If using the ``REGCA1`` model, ``vd = v``. - Reverted a change in Line parameter that caused SMIB case to crash. v1.7.4 (2022-07-01) ------------------- - Renamed model `Toggler` to `Toggle`. - New model: ESAC5A. (Contributed by Ahmad Ali). - Added documentation for creating disturbances. - Updated documentation for modeling blocks. v1.7.3 (2022-06-25) ------------------- Bug fix: - Fix `Ipcmd` initialization equation of `REGCA1`. Improved the interface to pandapower: - Improved ``to_pandapower`` performance using vectorized conversion. - Enhanced ``make_link_table`` to include group ``RenGen``. v1.7.2 (2022-06-07) ------------------- - Improved documentation and examples. v1.7.1 (2022-05-31) ------------------- This release contains minor fixes to the documentation. Other changes: - In ``PVD1``, Enable `pmx` limiting by default. - In ``ST2CUT``, fix the type of ``busr2`` and ``busr`` to ``IdxParam``. v1.7.0 (2022-05-22) ------------------- Allow incrementally offloading simulation data from memory to the output file: - ``[TDS].limit_store`` is a boolean value to enable the limit for in-memory time-series storage. If set to ``1``, data will be offloaded to the ``npz`` file every ``[TDS].max_store`` steps. Offloaded data will then be erased from memory. - If you need to interact with the time-series data in memory, you need to keep ``[TDS].limit_store`` to ``0``. Allow specifying models, variables, and/or devices to output: - See :ref:`Output`. The `model` field is mandatory. Leaving `varname` or `dev` blank indicates the selection of all applicable elements. For example, specifying `model` and `varname` without `dev` means that the variable for all devices will be exported. - Plot tool works with in-memory time-series data specified by Output. Simulation output control: - Allow controlling the save frequency for output data in ``[TDS].save_every``. The default value is ``1``, which means that every step will be saved. Setting it to ``4``, for example, will save data every four steps. This setting applies to the in-memory storage and the output data file. - Setting ``save_every = 0`` will immediately discard all data after each simulation step. - Added the option ``[TDS].save_mode`` to change the automatic simulation data dumping to manual. Accepted values are ``auto`` and ``manual``. This option shall only be adjusted to ``manual`` when one is manually stepping the simulation and wants to avoid writing to the output file when the simulation reaches ``TDS.config.tf``. One will need to call ``TDS.save_output()`` when the full simulation concludes to avoid losing unsaved data. Other changes: - Fix the initialization of offline synchronous generators. - Allow styles to be set for plots using the argument ``style``. To generate figures for IEEE publications, use ``style=ieee`` (require package ``scienceplots``). - Moved the writing of the ``lst`` file to the first step of simulation. - ``andes misc -C`` will not remove ``_out.csv`` file as it is considered data for post-processing just like exported figures. v1.6 Notes ========== v1.6.6 (2022-04-30) ------------------- - Rename ``[System] call_stats`` to ``[System] save_stats`` for clarity. If turned on, one can retrieve statistics of function calls in ``TDS.call_stats``. - Store routine execution time to routine member ``execution_time``. - Fix PSS/E parsing issues with :ref:`GAST`. - Fix issues and update default parameters for `REGCV1` and `REGCV2`. - Allow adjusting limits for state variables during initialization. Like for algebraic variables, the default setting automatically adjusts the upper limit but not the lower one. v1.6.5 (2022-04-19) ------------------- - Added a TDS stop criteria based on rotor angle separation with reference to Power System Analysis Toolbox. - Fix a bug for snapshot save and load. It now supports writing to and reading from ``io.BytesIO()``. v1.6.4 (2022-04-17) ------------------- Breaking change: - ``PV`` model no longer has ``p`` as a variable in the DAE. ``p`` copies the value of ``p0``. This change affects the addresses of variables. - Changed ``models.file_classes`` to a list to improve the control over the class initialization sequence in the same package. Operator splitting for internal algebraic variables: - ``VarService`` can be evaluated model-internal algebraic variables outside the DAE system. This approach is known as operator splitting and is commonly used in other simulation tools. - Operator splitting reduces the size of the DAE system but introduces a one-iteration lag between the internal algebraic variables and others in the DAE system. - ``VarService`` shall be avoided for singular functions (non-continuous) and shall not be adopted to circumvent initializing algebraic equations. - ``VarService`` takes an argument ``sequential``, which is ``True`` by default. Non-sequential ``VarService`` shall not depend on other ``VarService`` calculated at the same step as they will be evaluated simultaneously. - :py:func:`andes.interop.pandapower.to_pandapower` set all generators as controllable by default. Generators in converted the pandapower case are named using the ``idx`` of ``StaticGen``. - Bug fixes in ``interop.pandapower.make_link_table()``. Other changes: - Added a new service type :py:class:`andes.core.service.SubsService` for temporary symbols that will be substituted at code generation time. - ``TDS.plt.plot()`` now accepts a list of variable objects. For example, ``ss.TDS.plt.plot([ss.GENROU.omega, ss.GENROU.delta], a=[0, 1])`` will plot the rotor speed and angles of the 0-th and the 1-st generator. - Added :ref:`REGCP1` model for generic converters with PLL support. - Fixed PSS/E parser for :ref:`HYGOV`. v1.6.3 (2022-04-06) ------------------- - Adjustments in the Pandapower interface. Added ``make_GSF()`` for the generation shift factor matrix. - Reduced import overhead for the command-line tool. v1.6.2 (2022-03-27) ------------------- Interoperability: - Added interoperability modules for MATPOWER (through Oct2Py), pandapower and pypowsybl. - Added Examples and API reference for the interoperability module. - Improved the setup script to support extra dependencies. The following extras groups are supported: ``dev`` and ``interop``. See :ref:`Install_extras` for more information. - Added tests for power flow calculation against MATPOWER. Others: - Added a shorthand command ``andes.system.example()`` to return a disposable system. It can be useful for quick prototyping. - Improved the formatting and navigation of Model references. - Models store the base values for per-unit conversion in ``Model.bases``. v1.6.1 (2022-03-13) ------------------- - Revamped documentation with a much improved "Getting started" section. v1.6.0 (2022-03-11) ------------------- - Migrated documentation to the pydata template. - Added compatibility with SymPy 1.9 and 1.10. v1.5 Notes ========== v1.5.12 (2022-03-05) -------------------- - Improved PSS/E parsers for WTDTA1 model to follow PSS/E parameter definition. - Included the Jupyter notebook examples in the documentation. - Tweaks to the plot utility. v1.5.11 (2022-02-23) -------------------- - Reduced the tolerance for tiny variable increments to be treated as zero. - Fixed PSS/E parsers for renewable models. - Minor renewable model fixes. v1.5.10 (2022-02-01) -------------------- - Fixed one equation in `REGC_A`. v1.5.9 (2022-01-31) -------------------- - Added PLL1, a simple PLL model. - Renamed ``REGCVSG`` to ``REGCV1`` and ``REGCVSG2`` to ``REGCV2``. - Added an alias list for model names. See ``models/__init__.py``. - Multiprocessing now executes on all CPUs that are physical, instead of logical. A new package ``psutil`` needs to be installed. - Use of ``Selector`` is deprecated. v1.5.8 (2021-12-21) -------------------- - Full initialization debug message will be printed only when ``-v 10`` and ``run --init`` are both used. - Improved warning of out-of-limit initialization. Variables initialized at limits will be shown only at the debug level. - Initialization improvements for models ``REGCA1`` and ``REECA1``. - Added model ``HYGOV``. - Changed the default ``vout`` of offline exciters to zeros. All ``vout`` equations need to be multipled by ``ue``. v1.5.7 (2021-12-11) -------------------- This minor release highlights the improved debugging of initialization. Highly verbose initialization output can be enabled when the verbose level is 10 or less. For example, .. code:: bash andes -v 10 run test.xlsx -r tds --init will set the verbose level to 10 and run ``test.xlsx`` in the current folder, proceed to time-domain simulation but only initialize the models. Outputs will be printed to the shell where the command is executed. To save the output to a file, use the following in a UNIX shell: .. code:: bash andes -v 10 run test.xlsx -r tds --init > info.txt 2>&1 where the first ``>`` pipes the output to a file named ``info.txt``, and ``2>&1`` appends stderr (2) to stdout (1). The other main improvement is allowing automatic limit adjustment during initialization. Due to parameter errors, some variables will be initialized to values outside the given limits. Most commercial software does not attempt to fix the parameter but rather adjust the limit in run time. The same approach is followed in ANDES by automatically adjusting the upper limit, if exceeded, to variable initial values. The lower limit, however, is kept unadjusted by default. Discrete components now take an argument named ``allow_adjust`` so that the model developer can specify if its limits can be adjusted or must be kept as is. Each model is allowed to specify three config flags to customize runtime behaviors: ``allow_adjust``, ``adjust_lower``, and ``adjust_uppwer``. By default, ``allow_adjust=True``, ``adjust_upper=True``, and ``adjust_lower=False``. One can modify the config file to enable or disable the limit adjustments for specific models. Other fixes include: - Bug fixes for ``GAST`` parameter ``AT``. - Bug fixes for ``IEEET3``, ``GAST``, ``ESAC1A`` and ``ESST1A`` when device is off to avoid matrix singularity. v1.5.6 (2021-11-25) -------------------- - Allow specifying config options through command-line arguments ``--config-option``. - Added a voltage and frequency playback model ``PLBVFU1``. - Bug fixes to an SEXS equation. v1.5.5 (2021-11-13) -------------------- - Added a `Timeseries` model for reading timeseries data from xlsx. - Converted several models into Python packages. - Bug fixes to TGOV1 equations (#226) v1.5.4 (2021-11-02) -------------------- - Fixed a bug in generated ``select`` functions that omitted the coefficients of ``__ones``. v1.5.3 (2021-10-31) -------------------- - Revered special arguments for the generated ``select`` function. - Stabilized the argument list of pycode. If the pycode is identical to existing ones, the existing file will not be overwritten. As a result, compiled code is fully cached. - Partially seperated time-domain integration method into ``daeint.py``. v1.5.2 (2021-10-27) -------------------- - Removed ``CVXOPT`` dependency. - Removed ``__zeros`` and ``__ones`` as they are no longer needed. - Added ``andes prep -c`` to precompile the generated code. - Added utility functions for saving and loading system snapshots. See ``andes/utils/snapshot.py``. - Compiled numba code is always cached. - Bug fixes. v1.5.1 (2021-10-23) -------------------- - Restored compatibility with SymPy 1.6. - Added a group for voltage compensators. - New models: ``IEEEVC`` and ``GAST``. v1.5.0 (2021-10-13) -------------------- - Support numba just-in-time compilation of all equation and Jacobian calls. This option accelerates simulations by up to 30%. The acceleration is visible in medium-scale systems with multiple models. Such systems involve heavy function calls but a rather moderate load for linear equation solvers. The speed up is less significant in large-scale systems where solving equations is the major time consumer. Numba is required and can be installed with ``pip install numba`` or ``conda install numba``. To turn on numba for ANDES, in the ANDES configuration under ``[System]``, set ``numba = 1`` and ``numba_cache = 1``. The just-in-time compilation will compile the code upon the first execution based on the input types. When compilation is triggered, ANDES may appear frozen due to the compilation lag. The option ``numba_cache = 1`` will cache compiled machine code, so that the lag only occurs once until the next ``andes prep``. - Allow ``BackRef`` to populate to models through ``Group``. When model `A` stores an ``IdxParam`` pointing to a group, if ``BackRef`` with the name `A` are declared in both the group and the model, both ``BackRef`` will retrieve the backward references from model `A`. - Allow ``BaseVar`` to accept partial initializations. If ``BaseVar.v_str_add = True``, the value of `v_str` will be added in place to variable value. An example is that voltage compensator sets part of the input voltage, and exciter reads the bus voltage. Exciter has `v.v_str_add = True` so that when compensators exist, the input voltage will be bus voltage (vbus) plus (Eterm - vbus). If no compensator exists, exciter will use bus voltages and function as expected. - Added reserved variable names ``__ones`` and ``__zeros`` for ones and zeros with length equal to the device number. ``__ones`` and ``__zeros`` are useful for vectorizing ``choicelist`` in ``Piecewise`` functions. v1.4 Notes ========== v1.4.4 (2021-10-05) -------------------- - Bug fixes for refreshing generated code. v1.4.3 (2021-09-25) -------------------- This release features parallel processing that cuts the time for ``andes prepare`` by more than half. - ``andes prepare`` supports multiprocessing and uses it by default. - Added aliases ``andes st`` and ``andes prep`` for ``andes selftest`` and ``andes prepare``. - ``andes.config_logger`` supports setting new ``stream_level`` and ``file_level``. New exciter models are contributed by Jinning Wang. - Added ``AC8B``, ``IEEET3`` and ``ESAC1A``. Other changes include disallowing numba's ``nopython`` mode. v1.4.2 (2021-09-12) -------------------- - Bug fixes - Dropped support for ``cvxoptklu``. v1.4.1 (2021-09-12) -------------------- - Bug fixes. - Overhaul of the ``prepare`` and ``undill`` methods. - ``andes prepare`` can be called for specific models through ``-m``, which takes one or many model names as arguments. v1.4.0 (2021-09-08) -------------------- This release highlights the distributed energy resource protection model. - Added ``DGPRCT1`` model to provide DG models with voltage- and frequency-based protection following IEEE 1547-2018. - ``REECA1E`` supports frequency droop on power. - Throws TypeError if type mismatches when using ExtAlgeb and ExtState. v1.3 Notes ========== v1.3.12 (2021-08-22) -------------------- Plot enhancements: - ``plot()`` takes an argument ``mark`` for masking y-axis data based on the ``left`` and ``right`` range parameters. - ``TDS.plt`` provides a ``panoview`` method for plotting an panoramic view for selected variables and devices of a model. Models: - Added WIP EV models and protection models. Test case: - Added CURENT EI test system. - Added a number of IEEE 14 bus test systems for specific models. v1.3.11 (2021-07-27) -------------------- - Added ``REECA1E`` model with inertia emulation. - Fixed an issue where the ``vtype`` of services was ignored. - Changed default DPI for plotting to 100. v1.3.10 (2021-06-08) -------------------- - Bug fixes for controllers when generators are off. v1.3.9 (2021-06-02) -------------------- - Bug fixes in exciters when generators are offline. - Added `safe_div` function for initialization equations. v1.3.8 (2021-06-02) -------------------- - Added ``REGCVSG`` model for voltage-source controlled renewables. - Turbine governors are now aware of the generator connection status. v1.3.7 (2021-05-03) -------------------- - Allow manually specifying variables needing initialization preceding a variable.

Also contains an experimental Python code dump function. - Controlled in ``System.config``, one can turn on ``save_pycode`` to dump equation and Jacobian calls to ``~/.andes/pycode``. Requires one call to ``andes prepare``. - The Python code dump can be reformatted with ``yapf`` through the config option ``yapf_pycode``. Requires separate installation. - The dumped Python code can be used for subsequent simulations through the config option ``use_pycode``. v1.1 Notes ========== v1.1.5 (2020-10-08) -------------------- - Allow plotting to existing axes with the same plot API. - Added TGOV1DB model (TGOV1 with an input dead-band). - Added an experimental numba support. - Patched `LazyImport` for a snappier command-line interface. - ``andes selftest -q`` now skips code generation. v1.1.4 (2020-09-22) -------------------- - Support `BackRef` for groups. - Added CLI ``--pool`` to use ``multiprocess.Pool`` for multiple cases.

Default behavior changes include: - ``andes prepare`` now takes three mutually exclusive arguments, `full`, `quick` and `incremental`. The command-line now defaults to the quick mode. ``andes.prepare()`` still uses the full mode. - ``Model.s_update`` now evaluates the generated and the user-provided calls in sequence for each service in order. - Renamed model `REGCAU1` to `REGCA1`. v1.0.7 (2020-07-18) -------------------- - Use in-place assignment when updating Jacobian values in Triplets. - Patched a major but simple bug where the Jacobian refactorization flag is set to the wrong place. - New models: PMU, REGCAU1 (tests pending). - New blocks: DeadBand1, PIFreeze, PITrackAW, PITrackAWFreeze (tests pending), and LagFreeze (tests pending). - `andes plot` supports dashed horizontal and vertical lines through `hline1`, `hline2`, `vline1` and `vline2`. - Discrete: renamed `DeadBand` to `DeadBandRT` (deadband with return). - Service: renamed `FlagNotNone` to `FlagValue` with an option to flip the flags. - Other tweaks. v1.0.6 (2020-07-08) -------------------- - Patched step size adjustment algorithm. - Added Area Control Error (ACE) model. v1.0.5 (2020-07-02) -------------------- - Minor bug fixes for service initialization. - Added a wrapper to call TDS.fg_update to allow passing variables from caller. - Added pre-event time to the switch_times. v1.0.4 (2020-06-26) -------------------- - Implemented compressed NumPy format (npz) for time-domain simulation output data file. - Implemented optional attribute `vtype` for specifying data type for Service. - Patched COI speed initialization. - Patched PSS/E parser for two-winding transformer winding and impedance modes. v1.0.3 (2020-06-02) -------------------- - Patches `PQ` model equations where the "or" logic "|" is ignored in equation strings. To adjust PQ load in time domain simulation, refer to the note in `pq.py`. - Allow `Model.alter` to update service values. v1.0.2 (2020-06-01) -------------------- - Patches the conda-forge script to use SymPy < 1.6. After SymPy version 1.5.1, comparison operations cannot be sympified. Pip installations are not affected. v1.0.1 (2020-05-27) -------------------- - Generate one lambda function for each of f and g, instead of generating one for each single f/g equation. Requires to run `andes prepare` after updating. v1.0.0 (2020-05-25) -------------------- This release is going to be tagged as v0.9.5 and later tagged as v1.0.0. - Added verification results using IEEE 14-bus, NPCC, and WECC systems under folder `examples`. - Patches GENROU and EXDC2 models. - Updated test cases for WECC, NPCC IEEE 14-bus. - Documentation improvements. - Various tweaks. Pre-v1.0.0 ========== v0.9.4 (2020-05-20) ------------------- - Added exciter models EXST1, ESST3A, ESDC2A, SEXS, and IEEEX1, turbine governor model IEEEG1 (dual-machine support), and stabilizer model ST2CUT. - Added blocks HVGate and LVGate with a work-around for sympy.maximum/ minimum. - Added services `PostInitService` (for storing initialized values), and `VarService` (variable services that get updated) after limiters and before equations). - Added service `InitChecker` for checking initialization values against typical values. Warnings will be issued when out of bound or equality/ inequality conditions are not met. - Allow internal variables to be associated with a discrete component which will be updated before initialization (through `BaseVar.discrete`). - Allow turbine governors to specify an optional `Tn` (turbine rating). If not provided, turbine rating will fall back to `Sn` (generator rating). - Renamed `OptionalSelect` to `DataSelect`; Added `NumSelect`, the array-based version of `DataSelect`. - Allow to regenerate code for updated models through ``andes prepare -qi``. - Various patches to allow zeroing out time constants in transfer functions. v0.9.3 (2020-05-05) -------------------- This version contains bug fixes and performance tweaks. - Fixed an `AntiWindup` issue that causes variables to stuck at limits. - Allow ``TDS.run()`` to resume from a stopped simulation and run to the new end time in ``TDS.config.tf``. - Improved TDS data dump speed by not constructing DataFrame by default. - Added tests for `kundur_full.xlsx` and `kundur_aw.xlsx` to ensure results are the same as known values. - Other bug fixes. v0.9.1 (2020-05-02) -------------------- This version accelerates computations by about 35%. - Models with flag ``collate=False``, which is the new default, will slice DAE arrays for all internal vars to reduce copying back and forth. - The change above greatly reduced computation time. For ``kundur_ieeest.xlsx``, simulation time is down from 2.50 sec to 1.64 sec. - The side-effects include a change in variable ordering in output lst file. It also eliminated the feasibility of evaluating model equations in parallel, which has not been implemented and does not seem promising in Python. - Separated symbolic processor and documentation generator from Model into ``SymProcessor`` and ``Documenter`` classes. - ``andes prepare`` now shows progress in the console. - Store exit code in ``System.exit_code`` and returns to system when called from CLI. - Refactored the solver interface. - Patched Config.check for routines. - SciPy Newton-Krylov power flow solver is no longer supported. - Patched a bug in v0.9.0 related to `dae.Tf`. v0.8.8 (2020-04-28) -------------------- This update contains a quick but significant fix to boost the simulation speed by avoiding calls to empty user-defined numerical calls. - In `Model.flags` and `Block.flags`, added `f_num`, `g_num` and `j_num` to indicate if user-defined numerical calls exist. - In `Model.f_update`, `Model.g_update` and `Model.j_update`, check the above flags to avoid unnecessary calls to empty numeric functions. - For the `kundur_ieeest.xlsx` case, simulation time was reduced from 3.5s to 2.7s. v0.8.7 (2020-04-28) -------------------- - Changed `RefParam` to a service type called `BackRef`. - Added `DeviceFinder`, a service type to find device idx when not provided. `DeviceFinder` will also automatically add devices if not found. - Added `OptionalSelect`, a service type to select optional parameters if provided and select fallback ones otherwise. - Added discrete types `Derivative`, `Delay`, and `Average`, - Implemented full IEEEST stabilizer. - Implemented COI for generator speed and angle measurement. v0.8.6 (2020-04-21) -------------------- This release contains important documentation fixes and two new blocks. - Fixed documentations in `andes doc` to address a misplacement of symbols and equations. - Converted all blocks to the division-free formulation (with `dae.zf` renamed to `dae.Tf`). - Fixed equation errors in the block documentation. - Implemented two new blocks: Lag2ndOrd and LeadLag2ndOrd. - Added a prototype for IEEEST stabilizer with some fixes needed. v0.8.5 (2020-04-17) -------------------- - Converted the differential equations to the form of ``T \dot{x} = f(x, y)``, where T is supplied to ``t_const`` of ``State/ExtState``. - Added the support for Config fields in documentation (in ``andes doc`` and on readthedocs). - Added Config consistency checking. - Converted `Model.idx` from a list to `DataParam`. - Renamed the API of routines (summary, init, run, report). - Automatically generated indices now start at 1 (i.e., "GENCLS_1" is the first GENCLS device). - Added test cases for WECC system. The model with classical generators is verified against TSAT. - Minor features: `andes -v 1` for debug output with levels and line numbers. v0.8.4 (2020-04-07) -------------------- - Added support for JSON case files. Convert existing case file to JSON with ``--convert json``. - Added support for PSS/E dyr files, loadable with ``-addfile ADDFILE``. - Added ``andes plot --xargs`` for searching variable name and plotting. See example 6. - Various bug fixes: Fault power injection fix; v0.8.3 (2020-03-25) -------------------- - Improved storage for Jacobian triplets (see ``andes.core.triplet.JacTriplet``). - On-the-fly parameter alteration for power flow calculations (``Model.alter`` method). - Exported frequently used functions to the root package (``andes.config_logger``, ``andes.run``, ``andes.prepare`` and ``andes.load``). - Return a list of System objects when multiprocessing in an interactive environment. - Exported classes to `andes.core`. - Various bug fixes and documentation improvements. v0.8.0 (2020-02-12) -------------------- - First release of the hybrid symbolic-numeric framework in ANDES. - A new framework is used to describe DAE models, generate equation documentation, and generate code for numerical simulation. - Models are written in the new framework. Supported models include GENCLS, GENROU, EXDC2, TGOV1, TG2 - PSS/E raw parser, MATPOWER parser, and ANDES xlsx parser. - Newton-Raphson power flow, trapezoidal rule for numerical integration, and full eigenvalue analysis. v0.6.9 (2020-02-12) -------------------- - Version 0.6.9 is the last version for the numeric-only modeling framework. - This version will not be updated any more. But, models, routines and functions will be ported to the new version.
