Hi,

I am trying to run a lot of simulations (approximately 7000 cases) using the sanvw model. After going through around 900 simulations, the whole script just stops. Looking into the log, i see this:

Array allocation failed in DYRE

Is there some memory problem because i am running psspy.dyre_new() before every simulation?

EDIT:

Just saw the 1st answer and i posted as much code here without making it too long. A lot of definitions are missing in the posted code, but thats all defined properly in the script.

For every event in simList, i am reading the raw file and dyr file (using dyre), converting loads and generators and doing anything else necessary to set up. Is there a way to do the simulations (N-2 line outages with fault) with the same network and dynamics snapshot without having to read in the raw and dyr file. If so, please let me know. Thanks!

Dyre_new replaces old dynamic models with the new models defined in the dyre-file. PSSE will then allocate the new model parameters at the end of the CON, VAR, STATE and ICON vectors. After doing that 900 times you reached the maximum possible index for the a vector.

Open the snapshot again before doing dyre_new.

EDIT: In my answer above I mixed up dyrenew with dyreadd. My discussion above is valid for dyreadd but you are using dyrenew so there should not be any problems with the vectors.

Why are you reading in models with dyre_new before every simulation? What parameters are you changing in your simulations? You are not following the normal procedure for dynamic simulations.

EDIT 2: I would recommend you to move all code from line:

#Parameters

to line:

ierr = psspy.bus_frequency_channel([-1, bus])

before the loop, since the same raw-file and dyr-file is used in all simulations. Then save the converted saved case and the prepared snapshot (including all dynamic data and channels).

psspy.save(xxx)
psspy.snap(yyy)

Inside the loop:

Read the converted case and restore the snaphot at the beginning, so you will start each simulation with same data (case and snapshot).

psspy.case(xxx)
psspy.rstr(yyy)

In this way dyre_new will only be executed once!!!

Thanks! This works!

@perolofl could too many channels cause this issue? I am encountering it when loading a single snp (with many channels).

How many channels do you have?

perolofl gravatar imageperolofl ( 2019-12-11 01:29:11 -0500 )edit

Close to 2000 - which I understand is the maximum(?). Interestingly, it's only occurring depending on the fault I run. In other words, I'll load the same sav, snp, gnet the same units, load the same channels, etc. and will only get the array allocation failed error on a particular fault.
