Rung 19: transmission losses in secant form — the same loss per line, its cuts placed by PyPSA's tolerance loop¶
One rung of the PyPSA corpus: the file pypsa.yaml projected onto what this network builds, attached to that network, and held to what PyPSA solves it to.
✔ Verified against pypsa 1.3.0 — objective 11000.926895 on both sides; structure ≠
CVaR0 vs 1 — the file declares the tail's average on every run; PyPSA adds it only under a risk preference, and without one the objective prices it at zero and no row reads it;CVaR-a0 vs 1 — the file declares each scenario's excess on every run; PyPSA adds it only under a risk preference, and without one no row reads it;CVaR-theta0 vs 1 — the file declares the tail's start on every run; PyPSA adds it only under a risk preference, and without one no row reads it;objective_constant1 vs 0 — PyPSA carries a nonzero objective constant as a fixed variable of that name; the file states no constant, and the objective is compared net of it; size ✔ 150 rows · ≠ 46 vs 48 columns · ✔ 290 nonzeros; duals ✔ 150 rows; model for model: 20 blocks equal, 0 documented splits, 4 recorded deviations.

The model¶
The same model, as math
A plain n.optimize(), and its multi-period and stochastic classes, in one file. Every second-stage quantity spans a scenario (a future dispatch is chosen in) and every asset stands in the investment periods its build year and lifetime span. A parameter spans scenario exactly when PyPSA reads it per scenario. Capacity is chosen once, before the future is known, and paid once per active period at its cost in expectation over the scenarios; operation is the expectation over the scenarios' weights, with a share priced at the tail through the CVaR rows, which stand only where that share is positive. A plain run feeds one scenario, one period, all-active masks and unit weights, and the model collapses to the standard one. A security-constrained run copies each branch flow limit once per outage in an outage set that a plain run leaves empty. Which snapshots an asset is active in, a scenario's weight, and the outage factors are data prep.

Parameters¶
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|

| \(\mathrm{sgn}\) | Generator_sign over \(\mathcal{G}\) — the sign output enters its bus's balance with — PyPSA's sign, 1 unless given, -1 for a unit that draws power. PyPSA refuses one that differs by scenario (consistency.py:1187) |
| \(\mathrm{com}\) | Generator_committable over \(\mathcal{G}\) — whether output is gated by an on/off status decision |
| \(\mathrm{f}^{\mathrm{nom}}\) | Link_p_nom over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{L}\) — nominal power |

| \(\overline{\mathrm{f}}\) | Link_p_max_pu over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{L}\) — most flow, per unit of nominal power |
| \(\eta\) | Link_efficiency over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{O}\) — share of the flow that arrives at an output port, PyPSA's efficiency, efficiency2, … read long — negative where that port consumes rather than delivers. Read at the snapshot the flow arrives, so a delayed port delivers at its arrival snapshot's efficiency (constraints.py:1522) |
| \(\mathrm{d}^{f}\) | Link_output_delay over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{O}\) — snapshots a port's delivery lags its link's flow — PyPSA's delay, delay2, … read long, in snapshot_weightings.generators units, which the file states as whole snapshots; zero for a port that delivers at once. Each scenario takes its own. PyPSA 1.3.0 groups the ports by delay over all scenarios and shifts each group in every one, so a delay that differs by scenario delivers the flow twice (constraints.py:1269-1276, PyPSA/PyPSA#1941) |
| \(\mathrm{cyc}^{f}\) | Link_output_cyclic_delay over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{O}\) — whether a delayed port's flow wraps from the end of its investment period — PyPSA's cyclic_delay, cyclic_delay2, …; where it does not, the flow still in transit at each period's first snapshots is lost.

| \(\mathrm{com}^{f}\) | Link_committable over \(\mathcal{L}\) — whether flow is gated by an on/off status decision |
| \(\mathrm{load}\) | Load_p_set over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{D}\) — demand |
| \(\mathrm{sgn}^{\mathrm{load}}\) | Load_sign over \(\mathcal{D}\) — the sign a load's demand enters its bus's balance with — PyPSA's sign, -1 unless given, 1 for a load that feeds its bus. PyPSA refuses one that differs by scenario (consistency.py:1187) |
| \(\mathrm{on}^{\mathrm{load}}\) | Load_active over \(\mathcal{D}\) — whether a load stands in the model — PyPSA's active. A load has no build year and no lifetime, so the flag holds in every snapshot. PyPSA refuses one that differs by scenario (consistency.py:1195) |
| \(\pi\) | scenario_weight over \(\Xi\) — PyPSA's scenario_weightings.weight — the probability of a future |
| \(\omega\) | CVaR_omega (scalar) — PyPSA's risk_preference['omega'] — the share of operating cost priced at the tail rather than in expectation; zero recovers the risk-neutral model |
| \(\mathrm{w}^{y}\) | period_weight_objective over \(\mathcal{Y}\) — PyPSA's investment_period_weightings.objective — what a period's cost weighs |
| \(\mathrm{on}\) | Generator_active over \(\mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — whether a generator stands in a snapshot's period — PyPSA's active, from build year and lifetime, data prep |
| \(\mathrm{on}^{f}\) | Link_active over \(\mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{L}\) — whether a link stands in a snapshot's period — PyPSA's active, data prep |
| \(\mathrm{on}^{s}\) | Line_active over \(\mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K}\) — whether a line stands in a snapshot's period — PyPSA's active, data prep |
| \(\mathrm{W}^{s}\) | Line_capital_weight over \(\mathcal{K}\) — the sum of period weights a line stands in — PyPSA's active * period_weighting, summed, data prep |
| \(\mathrm{s}^{\mathrm{nom}}\) | Line_s_nom over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{K}\) — nominal apparent power |
| \(\mathrm{ext}^{s}\) | Line_s_nom_extendable over \(\mathcal{K}\) — whether the nominal apparent power is a decision |
| \(\overline{\mathrm{s}}\) | Line_s_max_pu over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K}\) — most flow either way, per unit of nominal apparent power |
| \(\underline{\mathrm{s}}^{\mathrm{nom}}\) | Line_s_nom_min over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{K}\) — least nominal apparent power an extendable line may be built at |
| \(\overline{\mathrm{s}}^{\mathrm{nom}}\) | Line_s_nom_max over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{K}\) — most nominal apparent power an extendable line may be built at |
| \(\mathrm{c}^{\mathrm{cap},s}\) | Line_capital_cost over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{K}\) — cost of one unit of nominal apparent power — PyPSA's capital_cost, periodized as an annuity in data prep |
| \(\mathrm{x}\) | Line_cycle_weight over \(\mathcal{K} \times \mathcal{C}\) — the line's series impedance, signed by its orientation in the cycle — the cycle basis, data prep; a line in no cycle has no row. PyPSA builds the cycle basis from the first scenario only (networks.py:1354-1361) |
| \(\mathrm{lossy}\) | transmission_losses (scalar) — whether the network dissipates transmission losses — PyPSA's transmission_losses read as a flag; its mode, tangents or secants, only decides how data prep fills the segment axis, the rows are the same; false with no segments is a lossless run. A security-constrained run over a network with passive branches builds no loss: PyPSA does not hand the keyword to create_model (abstract.py:437-441) but to the solver (:491), so data prep feeds false there |
| \(\overline{\ell}\) | Line_loss_max over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K}\) — the loss at a line's rating — PyPSA's r_pu_eff * (s_max_pu * s_nom_max)**2, data prep |
| \(\mathrm{a}\) | Line_loss_slope over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K} \times \mathcal{E}\) — the slope of a cut to the loss curve — a tangent's 2 * r_pu_eff * p_k at its segment's flow, a secant's r_pu_eff * (p_k + p_k+1) between consecutive breakpoints, data prep |
| \(\mathrm{b}\) | Line_loss_offset over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K} \times \mathcal{E}\) — where that cut meets the loss axis — a tangent's loss_k - slope_k * p_k, a secant's -r_pu_eff * p_k * p_k+1, negative, data prep |
Variables¶
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| \(p\) | Generator_p over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{G}\) — Generator-p — output of a generator in a snapshot |
| \(f\) | Link_p over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{L}\) — Link-p — PyPSA's p0, the flow measured at the Link_bus0 end: a positive value withdraws there and injects at every bus the link's output ports deliver to |
| \(s\) | Line_s over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K}\) — Line-s — PyPSA's p0, the flow measured at the Line_bus0 end: a positive value withdraws there and injects at Line_bus1, lossless |
| \(\ell\) | Line_loss over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{K}\) — Line-loss — what a line dissipates carrying its flow, pushed down by the cost and held up by the cuts; absent, and zero in the balance, where the network is lossless |
| \(S\) | Line_s_nom_ext over \(\mathcal{K}\) — Line-s_nom — nominal apparent power where it is a decision; the parameter of the same PyPSA name carries the fixed regime |
| \(a\) | CVaR_a over \(\Xi\) — CVaR-a — how far a scenario's operating cost exceeds the tail's start; nothing where it does not |
| \(\theta\) | CVaR_theta (scalar) — CVaR-theta — where the tail starts, the value at risk |
| \(CVaR\) | CVaR (scalar) — CVaR — the tail's average cost, what the objective prices at omega |
Definitions¶
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| \(\mathit{total\_cost}\) | total_cost (scalar) — what the system costs — capacity once per active period at its expected cost over the scenarios, operation in expectation over the scenarios, and a share of it at the tail |
| \(\mathit{Bus\_injection}\) | Bus_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\) — what every component puts into a bus, less what it takes out of it; PyPSA writes each term into the balance, and a load on its right-hand side |
| \(\mathit{Cycle\_angle\_sum}\) | Cycle_angle_sum over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{C}\) — the voltage angle differences around a cycle: every branch flow times its cycle weight, and every transformer phase shift |
| \(\mathit{Line\_capex}\) | Line_capex (scalar) |
| \(\mathit{risk\_weighted\_opex}\) | risk_weighted_opex (scalar) |
| \(\mathit{Generator\_injection}\) | Generator_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\) |
| \(\mathit{Line\_injection}\) | Line_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\) |
| \(\mathit{Link\_injection}\) | Link_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\) |
| \(\mathrm{Load\_injection}\) | Load_injection over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{N}\) |
| \(\mathit{Line\_angle\_sum}\) | Line_angle_sum over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{C}\) |
| \(\mathit{Link\_output\_arrival}\) | Link_output_arrival over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{O}\) — what a link delivers to an output port at a snapshot — its flow delayed by the port's delay within its investment period, times the port's efficiency at the snapshot the flow arrives; where the port is cyclic_delay the delayed flow wraps from the period's end, and where it is not the flow still in transit at the period's first snapshots is lost. A port that does not delay (delay zero) delivers its flow unshifted, cyclic or not |
| \(\mathit{scenario\_opex}\) | scenario_opex over \(\Xi\) — what a future costs to run — every operating term, weighted by the snapshot's hours and its period, before the scenario's own weight; a start and a stop cost what they cost, unweighted, as PyPSA adds them (optimize.py:414-429) |
| \(\mathrm{Load\_demand}\) | Load_demand over \(\Xi \times \mathcal{T} \times \mathcal{D}\) — what a load draws from its bus's balance — its demand times its sign where it is active, nothing where it is not, since PyPSA drops an inactive load from the balance (constraints.py:1537-1538) |
| \(\mathit{Generator\_opex}\) | Generator_opex over \(\Xi\) |
| \(\mathit{Link\_opex}\) | Link_opex over \(\Xi\) |
\(t \ominus k\) denotes cyclic translation: index \(t-k\) taken modulo the size of the dimension (roll). Plain \(t-k\) (shift) has no wraparound — terms translated past the edge are simply absent.
\(t \boxminus_{v} k\) denotes translation with \(v\) standing where index \(t-k\) leaves the dimension (shift(edge=v)), so the row at that boundary is built and carries \(v\) rather than being dropped.
\(t \ominus^{\mathrm{relation}(t)} k\) denotes a translation counted inside the group a relation puts \(t\) in (shift(by=relation)), so a term never crosses out of its own group. The two modifiers take different slots — the group above, the fill below — so \(t \boxminus_{v}^{\mathrm{relation}(t)} k\) is both at once.

The spec, differential/pypsa/rungs/rung_19_losses_secants.yaml — the file projected onto what this rung builds:
description: A plain `n.optimize()`, and its multi-period and stochastic classes, in one file. Every second-stage
quantity spans a `scenario` (a future dispatch is chosen in) and every asset stands in the investment
`period`s its build year and lifetime span. A parameter spans `scenario` exactly when PyPSA reads it
per scenario. Capacity is chosen once, before the future is known, and paid once per active period at
its cost in expectation over the scenarios; operation is the expectation over the scenarios' weights,
with a share priced at the tail through the CVaR rows, which stand only where that share is positive.
A plain run feeds one scenario, one period, all-active masks and unit weights, and the model collapses
to the standard one. A security-constrained run copies each branch flow limit once per outage in an
`outage` set that a plain run leaves empty. Which snapshots an asset is active in, a scenario's weight,

a network with passive branches builds no loss: PyPSA does not hand the keyword to `create_model`

they deliver to, each process port drawing or delivering at its own rate and each passive branch
carrying its flow, meets the load there, less half of every incident line''s and transformer''s
loss — PyPSA dissipates a branch''s loss half at either end. Each generator, storage unit, store
and load term enters with its component''s `sign` (`constraints.py:1428-1429`, `:1538`), and an
inactive load not at all. A bus nothing is attached to has no row; PyPSA refuses one that carries

where the port is `cyclic_delay` the delayed flow wraps from the period's end, and where it is not
the flow still in transit at the period's first snapshots is lost. A port that does not delay (`delay`
zero) delivers its flow unshifted, cyclic or not
