The objectives of this tutorial are:
-
To familiarise with the process by which power engineers can calculate operating envelopes to facilitate exports/imports from customers whilst ensuring that voltages and asset utilisation are within limits.
-
To continue familiarising with the advanced tool OpenDSS (using Python and the dss_python module module). And, to guide you, all will be done using a notebook on Jupyter Notebook.
Make sure you have installed Anaconda, the dss_python module, etc. as specified on Canvas. Otherwise, you will not be able to go through the workshop.
- Download all the files using the green
<> Codebutton at the top right.- You will get a ZIP file with a folder that contains all the files.
- Unzip the file an place the folder somewhere in your computer/laptop.
- To open the Jupyter notebook file (extension
ipynb) you need to:- Open Anaconda Navigator
- Click on Launch Jupyter notebook (it will open in your browser)
- Upload the unzipped folder (with all the corresponding files) to Jupyter Notebook (the location is up to you)
- Go inside the folder and open the
ipynbfile
All the workshop instructions will be in the ipynb file.
Enjoy!
