What Is TDPF?

TDPF is a proof-of-concept Temperature-Dependent Power Flow algorithm implemented as a collection of MATLAB scripts. TDPF augments conventional power flow by integrating an estimate of branch temperatures with the conventional power flow equations. For the technical details, please read:

For those without access to an IEEE Transactions on Power Systems subscription, a pre-publication manuscript of the paper is available here.

How To Use TDPF

TDPF is implemented as a collection of MATLAB functions:

• importCaseData() - Import power system data from CSV, IEEE Common Data Format, or MATPOWER
• makeYBus() - Create the system admittance matrix for TDPF
• evalJacobian() - Evaluate the Jacobian matrix for TDPF
• evalMismatch() - Evaluate power and temperature mismatches for TDPF
• PF() - Execute a conventional Newton-Raphson or fast decoupled power flow
• FC_TDPF() - Execute fully coupled temperature-dependent power flow
• PD_TDPF() - Execute partially decoupled temperature-dependent power flow
• FD_TDPF() - Execute fast decoupled temperature-dependent power flow
• SD_TDPF() - Execute sequentially decoupled temperature-dependent power flow

The .m file for each function provides documentation of the function inputs, outputs, and options. The script tdpf_example.m, which provides a step-by-step example for executing a temperature dependent power flow for the 39 bus New England test system, is the best place to start.
