NEM_constraints

Python functions for wrangling public NEMDE constraint equation formulations:

• get_constraint_list: get a list of constraints from the archive for a specific month/year
• find_constraint: search for a specific constraint equation
• get_LHS_terms: get the left-hand side (LHS) terms of a specific constraint equation
• get_RHS_terms: get the right-hand side (RHS) terms of a specific constraint equation
• get_constraint_details: get the description, LHS and RHS terms of a specific constraint equation
• find_generic_RHS_func: find a generic RHS function definition from the archive
• get_generic_RHS_func: get the terms for a generic RHS function

The Jupyter notebook here provides a illustrative demonstration of how the functions can be used.

More Information

AEMO provides a lot of reference information on constraints, including the following:

• MMS Data Model Reports
• Congestion Information Resource (CIR)) provides quite a bit of reference information, including:
  • Constraint Implementation Guidelines) which has details on the RHS data types and reverse polish notation calculation engine
  • Constraint Formulation Guidelines which has details on the relevant MMS tables and principles for formulating constraints
  • Constraint Naming Guidelines
