Component Types

This page documents the main component types used in Sparlectra for power system modeling.

Network Components

Net

The main container for a power system network.

Sparlectra.Net

Node

Represents a bus in the power system.

Sparlectra.Node

Branch Components

Sparlectra.Branch
Sparlectra.BranchFlow
Sparlectra.BranchModel

Since r0.9.10 a Branch carries per-terminal service flags from_status/to_status (1 = closed, 0 = open) next to the aggregate status. Invariant: status = 1 iff both terminals are closed; setBranchStatus! (the user-facing switch) sets all three consistently, setBranchTerminalStatus!(br; from =, to =) toggles individual terminals and recomputes the aggregate. A branch open at exactly one terminal stays in the model as its exact pi reduction at the closed bus and reports the open-end voltage (open_end_vm_pu/open_end_va_deg) as a result, see the "One-sided open branches" section of the branch model.
