• [CHANGED] convention for active power limits of generators. Generator with max. feed in of 50kW before: p_min_kw=0, p_max_kw=-50. Now p_max_kw=0, p_min_kw=50
• [ADDED] DC power flow function pp.rundcopp
• [FIXED] bug in create_transformer function for tp_pos parameter
• [FIXED] bug in voltage ratio for low voltage side tap changers
• [FIXED] bug in rated voltage calculation for opf line constraints

[1.0.2] - 2016-11-30

• [CHANGED] changed in_service dtype from f8 to bool for shunt, ward, xward
• [CHANGED] included i_from_ka and i_to_ka in net.res_line
• [ADDED] recycle parameter added. ppc, Ybus, _is_elements and bus_lookup can be reused between multiple powerflows if recycle["ppc"] == True, ppc values (P,Q,V) only get updated.
• [FIXED] OPF bugfixes: cost scaling, correct calculation of res_bus.p_kw for sgens
• [ADDED] loadcase added as pypower_extension since unnecessary deepcopies were removed
• [CHANGED] supress warnings parameter removed from loadflow, casting warnings are automatically supressed

[1.0.1] - 2016-11-09

• [CHANGED] update short introduction example to include transformer
• [CHANGED] included pypower in setup.py requirements (only pypower, not numpy, scipy etc.)
• [CHANGED] mpc / ppc renamed to ppci / ppc
• [FIXED] MANIFEST.ini includes all relevant doc files and exclude report
• [FIXED] handling of tp_pos parameter in create_trafo and create_trafo3w
• [FIXED] init="result" for open bus-line switches
