Expand description

Electrical islands and one reference bus per island.

A large case can hold several AC islands: asynchronous systems joined only by HVDC, radial pockets behind an open breaker, and stranded equipment. A power flow needs one reference bus in each island it solves, and an island with no source cannot be solved at all. BalancedNetwork::calc_islands partitions the energized buses; BalancedNetwork::assign_island_references gives each supplied island one reference and de-energizes the rest, and IslandReferencePolicy::PerIsland applies the same rule during normalization.

Structs§

Island
One AC island: energized buses joined by in-service branches, closed switches, and in-service three winding transformers.
IslandPartition
The result of BalancedNetwork::calc_islands.
IslandReferenceReport
The result of BalancedNetwork::assign_island_references.

Enums§

IslandReferencePolicy
How normalization and BalancedNetwork::assign_island_references treat the reference buses of a network with several islands.
