1. Calibration Fast Hack Version

[srivats0603]

/omf/scratch/calibrateSkunkworks/

We need a fast, easy, small loadshape calibrator. I, Srivats, will endeavor to build this.

Todo items:

1. Build test function to test on 8 feeder/SCADA combos instead of existing 1 combo.
2. Graph SCADA versus sub power for each of the tests.
3. Specify a technique for finding the scaling constant that makes sub power look like SCADA (and quanitfy "look like").
4. ...

update: added function format and made couple of other changes: 44b0183

Tests?

[srivats0603]

Following is coloma input vs. output for scaling const = 140.0

output: blue, input: green

Following is frank input vs. output for scaling const = 300.0

output: blue, input: green As of now, scaling constants have been obtained by trial and error

[dpinney]

Here's my super-sophsticated algorithm for finding the scaling constant:

scadaAvg = average(substationHourlyPowerFromSCADA) glmAvg = average(subHourlyPowerFromRunningGlmForOneYear) scalingConstant = scadaAvg/glmAvg

:sunglasses:

[srivats0603]

yeah... precisely!

added the scaling factor calculation algo: 93649c3 Tested on frank, output:

Coloma, output:

Issue: scada player path not recognized by gridlab?

I created a temp directory to do the calibration in: currently working in c:\users\sxs15\appdata\local\temp\tmperaabc

Then created the scadaplayer file in the same folder: c:\users\sxs15\appdata\local\temp\tmperaabc\scada.player created

but the 'sync_player' somehow parses this path into a format without '\' and gives an error: ERROR [2011-01-01 00:00:00 PST] : sync_player: Unable to open player file 'c:userssxs15appdatalocaltemptmperaabcscada.player' for object 'scadaLoads'

Any pointers?

[dpinney]

Pointer: escape the backslashes in your Windows paths. E.g. myPath = "C:\Users\dwp0\file.txt". myBrokenPath = "C:\Users\dwp0\file.txt"

[jcfuller1]

Try using double backslashes "\", forward slashes "/", or double-quotes around the whole thing.

[jcfuller1]

But you were quicker on the draw!

Check commit c9243c3 for latest updates

[dpinney]

Good commit. Thanks for pushing to github--keeps everyone in the loop if they want to be.

[srivats0603]

Question regarding path of scada player file: the scada file name that is taken as an input from the user, can already contain the path of the location where we want to dump the scada file, then do we also need to write it separately into the output path, which is taken as another input from the user?

[dpinney]

Huh?

[dpinney]

My bad. Spec corrected. All work should be done in the workDir.

commit: 4ba7ea1

Only taking Workdir, scada filename and feeder tree as input. scadaplayer and calibrated feeders are written in the workdir only relative paths are passed

[dpinney]

Todos:

1. Need to get it working not just on Srivats machine.
2. Remove PQPLAYER_FNAME as a variable. It should always be "subScada.player".
3. Move all calibrateFeeder code into omfCalibrate. Keep omfCalibrate arguments as they are.
4. Call getScadaData from new omfCalibrate. And it should be private.
5. Remove VPLAYER_FNAME variable.
6. Remove extra line breaks inside functions.
7. One last TODO.
