Multiphase support

[tshort]

Feature idea.

Optimal power models have traditionally only been done at the bulk power level. But with distributed generation and more advanced volt-var control, there's more opportunity to benefit from optimal models at the distribution level. To do that best, models need to include three phases and include single and two-phase lines and loads..

Thanks for the suggestion @tshort. I totally agree and I am quite keen to get into multi-phase network models and relaxations. It's just a matter of time.

Community contributions are always welcome 😉

This feature is now well underway. It is enabled by the multi-conductor feature, which was added in PowerModels v0.8. Three phase modeling is now being developed in,

Additional feature requests are welcome in that repo.

Wow. That's a nice surprise!
