How do I delete items in PandaPower?

Question

I just started using pandapower today and I can't find a way to delete items. I don't know python at all, I've tried using delete(), remove() and pop() on all kind of different levels but it hasn't done anything. Is it even possible to delete elements?

Answer 1

To drop elements delete the row in the dataframe like this:

net[element].drop(idx_of_element_to_delete, inplace=True)

For example to drop bus 5:

net.bus.drop(5, inplace=True)

Alternatively you can just set an element out of service so that it is ignored:

net.bus.in_service.at[5] = False

If you have questions about pandapower you will probably get faster answers on the github repository than on stackoverflow.

Answer 2

I found these utility functions to modify the topology, like drop_buses, drop_trafos, drop_lines, etc, which probably don't exist in previous versions.
