Data Integration
This section provides comprehensive configuration options for grid data integration, network analysis, and simulation behavior. It includes update mechanisms, grid splitting strategies, load and generator considerations, and advanced modeling features.
Grid Data Integration
- Grid Data Integration v1.0: Enable version-specific integration features.
Update Options
- Update Grid: Choose between updating all grids, grids with extensions, or GIS ID updates.
Grid Splitting Options
- Split Grid by Voltage Levels: Define voltage-based grid segmentation.
- Aggregate by Splitting ID: Combine data based on predefined IDs.
- Create New Project: Generate a new project from split data.
- Create Network Book: Aggregate overlapping grid values from mapped substations.
- Create Switching Operations: Define operations at split nodes.
- Create Network Feeders: Use
ThermalNetworkFeederIdentifier
for feeder generation. - Apply Migration Strategies: Enable migration logic during grid transformation.
Subgrid Network Feeder Parameterization
- Calculate Minimum Voltage (CalcVmin)
- Calculate Maximum Voltage (CalcVmax) by Generation
- Calculate Minimum Short Circuit Powers
Load Consideration
- Source Options:
- Customer list only
- Customer list + grid file (transformer power matched)
- Customer list + grid file (maximum load)
Generator Consideration
- Source Options:
- Customer list only
- Customer list + grid file
Customer List Load Scaling
- No Scaling
- Fraction of Annual Consumption
- Fraction of Rated Powers
Customer List Aggregation
- Aggregate Loads and Generators: Combine all connected to the same bus.
Reactive Power Handling
- Use Forecast (if available)
- Calculate Reactive Given
Multi-Feeder Short Circuit Behavior
- Normalize Within Number of Feeders (n)
Component Library Matching
- Auto-Match Unambiguous Components
- Create Work Log for Ambiguous Matches
Min/Max Voltage Calculation
- Calculate Voltage Tolerances
Phase Identification
- Run Phase Identification
- Use Power Flow for Sample Generation
Time Series Options
- Record Short Time Measurements to Parallel Transformers
- Extract Smart Meter Hourly Series at Customer Level
- Include Smart Meter Data in Customer File
Miscellaneous
- Concurrent MV/LV Connections: Default is 1
- Default Receiver Power Characteristic: Reactive Power Type
Scheduled Updates
- Automatic API Data Updates
- Update Frequency: Define in days
- Uptime Time (UTC): Define in hours
These settings provide granular control over grid modeling, data integration, and simulation fidelity.
