Process Network

This module provides functions for processing power networks and scenarios.

pf_preprocessing

Set variables to the results of OPF.

Updates the following network components with OPF results:

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
net	Network	The power network to preprocess.	required
res	Dict[str, Any]	OPF result dictionary containing solution data.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
Network	Updated network with OPF results applied.

pf_post_processing

Post-process solved network results into numpy arrays for CSV export.

This function extracts power flow results and builds four arrays matching the column schemas defined in gridfm_datakit.utils.column_names:

• Bus data with BUS_COLUMNS (+ DC_BUS_COLUMNS if include_dc_res=True)
• Generator data with GEN_COLUMNS
• Branch data with BRANCH_COLUMNS
• Y-bus nonzero entries with [index1, index2, G, B]

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
net	Network	The power network to process (must have solved power flow results).	required
res	Dict[str, Any]	Power flow result dictionary containing solution data.	required
include_dc_res	bool	If True, include DC power flow voltage magnitude/angle (Vm_dc, Va_dc).	required

Returns:

process_scenario_opf_mode

Processes a load scenario in OPF mode

In OPF mode, perturbations are applied first, then OPF is run to get generator setpoints that account for the perturbed topology. This ensures all constraints are satisfied in the final operating point.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
net	Network	The power network.	required
scenarios	ndarray	Array of load scenarios with shape (n_loads, n_scenarios, 2).	required
scenario_index	int	Index of the current scenario to process.	required
topology_generator	TopologyGenerator	Generator for topology perturbations (line/transformer outages).	required
generation_generator	GenerationGenerator	Generator for generation cost perturbations.	required
admittance_generator	AdmittanceGenerator	Generator for line admittance perturbations.	required
local_processed_data	List[ndarray]	List to accumulate processed data tuples.	required
error_log_file	str	Path to error log file for recording failures.	required
include_dc_res	bool	Whether to include DC power flow results in output.	required
jl	Any	Julia interface object for running power flow calculations.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
List[ndarray]	Updated list of processed data (bus, gen, branch, Y_bus arrays)

Note

Random seed is controlled by the calling context (process_scenario_chunk).

process_scenario_pf_mode

Processes a load scenario in PF mode

In PF mode, OPF is run first to get generator setpoints, then topology perturbations are applied. This can lead to constraint violations (overloads, voltage violations) since the setpoints are not re-optimized for the new topology.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
net	Network	The power network.	required
scenarios	ndarray	Array of load scenarios with shape (n_loads, n_scenarios, 2).	required
scenario_index	int	Index of the current scenario to process.	required
topology_generator	TopologyGenerator	Generator for topology perturbations (line/transformer outages).	required
generation_generator	GenerationGenerator	Generator for generation cost perturbations.	required
admittance_generator	AdmittanceGenerator	Generator for line admittance perturbations.	required
local_processed_data	List[ndarray]	List to accumulate processed data tuples.	required
error_log_file	str	Path to error log file for recording failures.	required
include_dc_res	bool	Whether to include DC power flow results in output.	required
pf_fast	bool	Whether to use fast AC PF solver.	required
dcpf_fast	bool	Whether to use fast DC PF solver.	required
jl	Any	Julia interface object for running power flow calculations.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
List[ndarray]	Updated list of processed data (bus, gen, branch, Y_bus arrays)

Note

Random seed is controlled by the calling context (process_scenario_chunk).
