Hi guys,

If I have a big system and I want to island just a sub-set of it, what could be the best practice to do it? I started to pick a new swing bus for the island and put out-of-service some branches and buses.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any python code for this method of islanding?

It is better to first take lines out of service until an island is formed. Check with activity TREE. After that, set a swing bus in the island.

Hi! What I did was: 1) I set a another swing bus for the island network. Thus I got two swing buses (one for the new island). 2) I adjusted the dispatch in order to get those lines with zero power flow. 3) I put those lines out of service. Thanks for your advice!

There is no need for balancing the flow. Point 2 is not needed.

Hi! I tried to do it without adjusting zero flow on the lines but it didn't work, it blew up. I wonder if I did something wrong, but after that I could get my island. Thanks for your help.

I assume the mismatch became too high for Newton/Raphson to solve, so you did it right in your case.

Yes, it makes sense. Thanks for your advice.
