Set up New Custom Constraint Objects in a PCM

Welcome to this new tutorial series on modelling custom constraints in PCM. In this tutorial, you will develop a dynamic power flow scenario on an existing network. This tutorial will assist you in creating new custom constraint objects, including variable objects, and analyze the optimization results.

If you don’t feel comfortable with some of the steps presented in this intermediate series, we have you covered. Check the beginner tutorial series, explore the reference guide of SAInt, or go to the How-to guides. But if you don’t find what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to contact SAInt support at support@encoord.com!

This series starts by setting up the network in SAInt, adding a new constraint object, assign new variables objects to the constraints, and defining their properties. In the second part of this tutorial, a DCUCOPF scenario is simulated, featuring the integration of custom constraints. The last part compares simulation outcomes with and without the introduced constraints.

Time to complete:

Step 1: Create and Edit a Constraint Object [25 Minutes]
Step 2: Execute a DCUCOPF Scenario Using Custom Constraints and Analyze the Results [15 Minutes]
Step 3: Compare Result with Constraint and Without Constraint [10 Minutes]
