Bus

Create Function

pandapower.create_bus(net, vn_kv, name=None, index=None, geodata=None, type='b', zone=None, in_service=True, max_vm_pu=nan, min_vm_pu=nan, coords=None, **kwargs)

Adds one bus in table net[“bus”].

Busses are the nodes of the network that all other elements connect to.

INPUT:

net (pandapowerNet) - The pandapower network in which the element is created

vn_kv (float) - The grid voltage level.

OPTIONAL:

name (string, default None) - the name for this bus

index (int, default None) - Force a specified ID if it is available. If None, the index one higher than the highest already existing index is selected.

geodata ((x,y)-tuple, default None) - coordinates used for plotting

type (string, default “b”) - Type of the bus. “n” - node, “b” - busbar, “m” - muff

zone (string, None) - grid region

in_service (boolean) - True for in_service or False for out of service

max_vm_pu (float, NAN) - Maximum bus voltage in p.u. - necessary for OPF

min_vm_pu (float, NAN) - Minimum bus voltage in p.u. - necessary for OPF

coords (list (len=2) of tuples (len=2), default None) - busbar coordinates to plot the bus with multiple points. coords is typically a list of tuples (start and endpoint of the busbar) - Example: [(x1, y1), (x2, y2)]

OUTPUT:

index (int) - The unique ID of the created element

EXAMPLE:

create_bus(net, name = “bus1”)

The power flow bus results are defined as:

net.res_bus_est

The state estimation results are put into net.res_bus_est with the same definition as in net.res_bus.

Parameter	Datatype	Explanation
vm_pu	float	voltage magnitude [p.u]
va_degree	float	voltage angle [degree]
p_mw	float	resulting active power demand [MW]

Note

Bus power values are given in the consumer system. Therefore a bus with positive p_mw value consumes power while a bus with negative active power supplies power.
