Rectangular Power Flow Reference

Sparlectra.runpf_rectangular! — Function
runpf!(net, maxIte, tolerance=1e-6, verbose=0; method=:rectangular)

Unified AC power flow interface.

Arguments:

  • net::Net: network
  • maxIte::Int: maximum iterations
  • tolerance::Float64: mismatch tolerance
  • verbose::Int: verbosity level
  • method::Symbol: must be :rectangular
  • autodamp::Bool: enable residual-based backtracking for rectangular Newton steps
  • autodamp_min::Float64: minimum automatic damping factor when autodamp = true
  • qlimit_start_iter::Int: first Newton iteration where PV→PQ Q-limit switching may run in :iteration mode
  • qlimit_start_mode::Symbol: :iteration, :auto, or :iteration_or_auto start criterion for PV→PQ switching
  • qlimit_auto_q_delta_pu::Float64: PV reactive-power request change threshold for automatic switching start

Notes:

  • Link-flow recovery (calcLinkFlowsKCL!) is method-agnostic and uses solved PF results.
  • If active-link merges create internal isolated buses, the rectangular sparse solver remains the only supported PF path; there is no polar fallback.

Returns: (iterations::Int, status::Int) where status == 0 indicates convergence.
