n-1 security #202

Open birgits opened 2 years ago

birgits commented 2 years ago

We currently consider n-1 security by using allowed line loading of 50% in the load case. For grid dimensioning using worst case this should be okay, as there is no feed-in in the load case. However, when using time series the feed-in and load situations in the different feeders are quite diverse and assuming a load case when the residual load in the whole grid is positive can lead to dimensioning of a feeder for n-1 security if though feed-in is always higher than load. We should either determine whether it is a load case individually for each feeder/line segment or use faulty condition calculation (see also discussion here).

In #423 I started an implementation to fix this issue.
