Scipy optimize during dynamic simulations

Hi everyone,

Does anyone has used scipy.optimize to tune control parameters during dynamic simulations? What I expect is to adjust (increase/decrease) my parameters regarding an optimal decision for each dynamic simulation (iteration). The outcome will be a set of control parameters that will provide the desired response.

Thanks in advance.

This is a pretty big ask. I don't have experience with this, but I could imagine how one could go about. Run your simulation within Python, open up the .out file, look at the recorded parameters, and adjust. I think opening the .out fle every one or few timesteps will get slow.

You might be better off tuning the controls post-processing. If you have an algorithm to dynamically tune the parameters, perhaps you could implement it in a user-written model? Although writing that FORTRAN could be tough.

Hi! I think you understand my issue really well. I have run my simulation, I access to the parameters, and I can evaluate my variables post-simulation. What I am looking for it is an algorithm to tune the parameters. I thought of scipy but I haven't seen any code on how to use for this process

This sounds like a classic optimization problem. You need to define what your objective is, and what are the ranges for which you are allowing the input parameters (controller settings) to change. You will then have to run simulations in a loop, checking the value of your objective function after each run, and adjusting your input parameters according to your optimization algorithm. This can all be automated in a Python program that is calling PSS/E, running the simulation and extracting the results from .out or .outx files.

Hi jfconroy! Yes, it is what I need to do. Firstly, I thought to use scipy but I don't think it will work. Then, I wonder if I could get an example from the forum to build my own code. It would be just great! Thanks

I don't have an example that I can provide.

If you're not happy with scipi, you can use one of the many optimization packages that are available on the Python package website pypi.org. Before starting your optimization code, you need to write the code to run PSS/E simulations in a loop and extract the results into Python/numpy arrays.

Yes, I have my code to run the PSS/E simulation in a loop, read and change the CONs. I will have a look on the website you suggested jfconroy. Thanks
