While we certainly plan on introducing additional functionality in future releases, we do want to be as clear as possible about what functionality is not currently provided.
The current version of Simulator OPF allows users to calculate the optimal solution to a power system using generator real power MW outputs and phase shifters as controls, while enforcing area, super area, interface MW and line/transformer MVA constraints. Marginal losses can also be included in the OPF calculation.
Some functionality that is not included in the current version of Simulator OPF, and which we hope to include in future versions, include the following:
- Enforcing bus low/high voltage magnitudes as limits
- Including additional devices as controls, such as generator voltage setpoints, LTC transformers, switched shunts.
- Allowing the optimization of different cost functions.
- Additional functionality as suggested by customers.
