MATPOWER

To communicate to MATPOWER to exchange network data these functions are available.

pandapower.converter.from_mpc(mpc_file, f_hz=50, casename_mpc_file='mpc', validate_conversion=False)

This function converts a matpower case file (.mat) version 2 to a pandapower net.

Note: python is 0-based while Matlab is 1-based.

INPUT:

mpc_file - path to a matpower case file (.mat).

OPTIONAL:

f_hz (int, 50) - The frequency of the network.

casename_mpc_file (str, ‘mpc’) - If mpc_file does not contain the arrays “gen”, “branch” and “bus” it will use the sub-struct casename_mpc_file

OUTPUT:

net - The pandapower network

EXAMPLE:

import pandapower.converter as pc

pp_net = cv.from_mpc(‘case9.mat’, f_hz=60)

pandapower.converter.to_mpc(net, filename=None, **kwargs)

This function converts a pandapower net to a matpower case files (.mat) version 2. Note: python is 0-based while Matlab is 1-based.

INPUT:
net - The pandapower net.
OPTIONAL:
filename (str, None) - File path + name of the mat file which will be created. If None
the mpc will only be returned

**kwargs - please look at to_ppc() documentation

EXAMPLE:
import pandapower.converter as pc import pandapower.networks as pn net = pn.case9() pc.to_mpc(net, “case9.mat”)
