Changes from IPSA 2.10.0

Converter driven plant functionality

Users in PyIPSA can co-opt the IscUMachine object to generate converter driven plants for inverter based generator fault calculations. This uses a parametrisation conforming to ERC G74/2 (more advanced functionality available in IPSA 2.10.1 UI). There is an additional flag in the fault level settings and additional data required in IscUMachine for this to work.

Choppers in PyIPSA

The new DCDC Converter object is available through the IscChopper class which has full support for the load flow module through PyIPSA.

Access DC load flow results data

In IPSA 2.10.0, we made strides to fixing the DC load flow module within PyIPSA. Now we have fully tested the functionality and also allowed it so that users can access the results in the same method as done in the standard AC load flow results framework. In each PyIPSA component, look at the methods of each class for more details!

Access to database entries via PyIPSA

In PyIPSA 2.10.1, users can populate the data of their inputted components via the database finally. This is done via the member functions owned by IscInterface, such as OpenDBFromFile(), GetDBNames(), and PopulateDBEntry() via each specific network component. Users can also list the entire database entries from their loaded database.

Fixes to drawing functionality

The functions that CreateBusbarCircular(), CreateBreaker() and DrawBreaker() have been built and fixed so that users do not have to rely on the UI to program circular busbars or circuit breakers.

DC Load Flow overloaded function

The DC load flow finally has its own unique function as IscNetwork::DoDCLoadFlow() which is a shorthand of the DoLoadFlow() alternative.

Additional fixes

The ability to access the send and receive ratings of a given branch have now been added back to the IscBranch object within PyIPSA. Also we have remapped the IscTransformer::Winding entry and the IscTransformer::VectorGroup entry together for longevity purposes and corrected the IscDCMachine::MechPowerMW bug.
