Balanced AC power flow

Kind

power-flow

Interpretation

Runs one exact saved snapshot or explicit native scenario. Open Studies, prepare a detached copy if needed, choose Balanced AC power flow and inspect the discovered artifact before saving/running the case. There is no implicit branch N-1, OpenDSS comparison or optimizer dispatch. Input P/Q uses MW/MVAr, voltage setpoints pu and continuous branch ratings MVA. Inspect convergence first, then bus voltages, branch terminal flows/loading, losses, generator dispatch and balance residuals with recorded settings. Nonconvergence or a source-less island is a failure, not zero output. A native-only pass is not independent cross-solver acceptance. Changing the candidate requires a new exact run; old results remain historical.

Run

Discover settings with study definitions. Select an exact network snapshot and case version; inspect readiness. Submit once using study_submit or the case submission tool, monitor study_status, then inspect study_results. Keep input/configuration/solver identities, warnings and failure states.

Compare and accept

Use equivalent settings/units and exact receipts. Unsupported or incompatible inputs remain explicit. Numerical qualification and human acceptance are separate. See Studies.
