Unit conversion in simbench 1.4.0 update

abs-n opened this issue · comments

Since the pandapower 2.0 update is processing All the loads in the Mw unit and the simbench Low voltage dataset is in Kw, I wanted to kindly ask if the unit conversion for load profiles is considered to be injected into Pandapower time series power flow.

If this issue exists I would appreciate to provide me with a solution for this purpose.

Dear @abs-n,
can you specify at which point the change of units (kW -> MW) is missing (if it is as you mention)?
For example, in the documentation Table 4.5, the load sum of LV rural1 net is given as 80 kW which is available as MW via:

import simbench
net = simbench.get_simbench_net("1-LV-rural1--0-sw")
print(net.load.p_mw.sum())

To receive the according profiles, you may have a look at the tutorial.

Dear @SteffenMeinecke

Thanks for your response. Since I am running a time series analysis over the LV network, my concern is if the single loads(not as sum) are fed into the pandapower as Kw or Mw?
While pandapower 2.0 considers loads as Mw for power flow simulation.

I do not share the concerns, but I cannot say more about this unless you shown a concrete number that is wrong in your opinion.
