Known IssuesΒΆ

The following issues are known but have not been solved until the release of pandapipes:

  • During a heat temperature calculation, pipes are not allowed to carry a fluid with zero velocity. This case leads to a zero line in the system matrix at the moment.

  • When setting your own default options for the pipeflow (c.f. Setting User Options), these values should still possibly be overridden during a pipeflow call. However, if a keyword argument you pass has the same value as the pipeflow-function signature, this overriding will not be recognized. Once this issue is solved in pandapower, it will be changed in pandapipes as well.

  • Please note that the heat transfer mode has not been tested as thoroughly as the hydraulics mode yet. It might be that some network configurations lead to unexpected behaviour. We assume that more tests will be added until the end of march 2020. In addition, we would be happy if you could report bugs on our github issue board.
