  • Added runtime option to use "unsafe" API with no error or NaN handling (see new documentation).
  • Added documentation describing error handling changes.

Previously models would run and silently ignore constraints that users might reasonably expect to be applied. Now these models will error until a proper fix is implemented. See issue #1001 to see details and track progress. (#1002)

v1.15.2

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug with AggregatedParameter.remove() and AggregatedIndexParameter.remove() methods using the wrong method internally. (#997)

• Fix the load method of FlowDurationCurveDeviationRecorder to handle scenario data correctly. (#989)

v1.15.0

New Features

• Performance improvements for the GLPK solvers. Several new options have been added to the GLPK solvers that reduce the number of linear programme updates required each time-step. These options are currently off by default, but can be enabled by either passing keyword arguments to the solver instances or via environment variables. (#912, #983, #985)
  • Update constant and fixed flows only once during reset (PYWR_SOLVER_GLPK_FIXED_FLOWS_ONCE=True)

  • Update constant and fixed aggregated node factors only once during reset (PYWR_SOLVER_GLPK_FIXED_FACTORS_ONCE=True)
• Improve memory usage in DataFrameParameter when running a subset of the defined scenarios. The parameter now only retains the data for the subset of scenarios required for the simulation instead of all scenarios. (#981)
• Update MonthlyProfileParameter and RbfProfileParameter to allow variable lower and upper bounds to be defined. (#986)
