Modelling of PV nodes while converting pandapower network not possible

[AnkurArohi]

I would like to model the generators in pandapwoer as PV nodes in pgm but I get an error that they cannot be modellled, is there something I am missing or if I have to do it manually I do not see a PV type bus class in generic generators. Please help

Hi @AnkurArohi,

The PowerGridModel does not support PV nodes yet as we currently mainly focus on distribution grids, while TSO's are more tailored towards transmission grids. We have PowerGridModel/power-grid-model#185 to track the PV nodes. However, given that we are a community-driven project, if you are willing to contribute, you are also more than welcome to do so (we will support any way we can). Otherwise, we can see if we can prioritize the issue again. Can you please upvote the issue? The more upvotes, the more likely it is to be prioritized.

EDIT: I originally linked the wrong issue. I updated it with the correct one.

Hi @mgovers will it be possible to use static generators (PQ) nodes with voltage regulation, in which the voltage value is set to a particular value(defined from PV nodes). The Q value then has to be kept varying meaning we will need minimalistically speaking these variations

• There should be provision of a voltage regulation & Q value of the static generator should be left varying depending on the values of voltage regulation based calculated Q.
  Is the model of such a voltage regulator present?

Hi @AnkurArohi,

Q value of the static generator should be left varying depending on the values of voltage regulation based calculated Q.

By this this you meant combining a constant PQ generation with a Q(U) regulator, where we should set Q = Q_regulator somehow?
PGM currently has no voltage regulator model either to do this.

Exactly this in my opinion is the fastest and easiest way of including PV buses without changing Jacobian matrix and other intrinsic details.

Right! It is the easier way from direct grid modelling perspective. And in context implementing within PGM core, voltage regulator or PV bus have similar effort.
