Alby’s Status Report for Mar 15

Accomplishments This Week:

• Added battery equality constraint dual variable feedback into multi-period solver, verified correctly updated across epochs through a “folded in” backward pass.

Challenges Encountered:

• Battery lambda gradient is slow to converge due to large step between epochs

Next Steps:

• Rewrite battery Lb and Bt equation stamps to explicitly define all terms and avoid confusion from cancelled out terms
• Create a GLD file with specifically labeled negative PQ loads for Solar and Wind generators.
• Add to Multi.py a method to modify renewable PQ loads at each time step based on load factors.
