first part of #3134

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Temperature-dependent power flow can report top-oil and hot-spot temperatures for in-service two- and three-winding transformers, including steady-state and time-series calculations. These results do not change power-flow results.
    • Contingency results can include transformer temperatures when available.
    • Cooling type and ambient temperature can be specified, defaulting to ONAN and 35 °C. Transformer temperature calculations require the optional thermal-model package; if it is unavailable, a warning is issued and transformer temperatures are skipped.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance and a tutorial covering setup, transformer temperature calculations, and results.

Possibly related issues

  • e2nIEE/pandapower#3134: The PR adds transformer temperature calculations requested by this issue. Switchgear temperature calculations are not included.

Suggested labels: powerflow, timeseries simulation

Suggested reviewers: vogt31337, ks-htk

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 3358c

Transformer temperature results can be missing, stale, or underestimated in time-series, contingency, and tracker-based workflows, and transformer-only networks with ordinary lines can be rejected. The feature is optional and does not alter power-flow solutions. Resolve these issues before merge, or explicitly accept them as known limitations.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 3358c

This adds an optional transformer temperature calculation that runs only when temperature-dependent power flow is turned on. It does not change the power-flow solution. Its inputs are the user's own network tables, and it gains no new privileges, network access or file access. The remaining design risk is the new optional third-party package, which is version-pinned and is now part of the "all" install bundle. A second, minor point is the temperature state carried between time-series steps. It is a correctness concern, not a security one.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — All inputs come from the network tables that the calling user supplies in the same process. No new network, file, credential or privilege surface was found, and the effects stay within the computed result tables.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The only new external trust relationship is the third-party transformer-thermal-model package, which is optional and pinned with a compatible-release specifier (~=0.6). Its source was not reviewed.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider whether the new third-party package should be in the default "all" extra, or kept opt-in only, so that installing "all" does not pull in a new supply-chain dependency without notice.

Explanation

The title "implement transformer thermal model" matches the main change. The PR adds TDPF post-processing that calculates top-oil and hot-spot temperatures for two- and three-winding transformers through the transformer-thermal-model package, and the PR objectives describe the same goal. The title is short and specific, and it does not cover the supporting changes such as schema columns, docs, and tests, which is acceptable.

Reduce the transformer check’s cognitive complexity.

The supplied SonarCloud check fails on _check_tdpf_trafo_parameters: it reports complexity 16 against an allowed 15. Extract the per-table normalization or validation step so the reported check passes without changing the defaults.

Run the missing-package test without the optional package.

If transformer_thermal_model is absent, this module-level skip also skips test_no_columns_when_library_missing. That is the environment where the fallback matters most. Move the fallback test to a module without this import skip; keep the library-dependent tests conditional. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Inline comments:
Review comments at @pandapower/auxiliary.py:
- Around line 1540-1543: Update the line-column validation around
required_columns and tdpf_lines to run only when TDPF lines are selected, so
unselected ordinary lines do not trigger missing thermal-column warnings. When
net.line lacks tdpf, initialize it to False and treat the selection as empty so
downstream branch conversion and transformer validation can proceed.

Review comments at @pandapower/contingency/contingency_parallel.py:
- Around line 108-110: Update the result-variable selection around
result_variables so transformer temperature is included before workers are
dispatched when the requested TDPF configuration will produce it, even if the
input network has no prior temperature result column. Alternatively, establish
the result columns with a base solve before dispatch; preserve the existing
column-based selection for other variables.

Review comments at @pandapower/contingency/contingency.py:
- Around line 168-170: Update the result-variable selection in run_contingency
so transformer temperatures are included on a fresh network when the requested
TDPF capability supports them, rather than relying only on an existing result
table column. Alternatively, ensure a base solve creates that column before
finalizing result_variables, so _update_contingency_results can collect
temperature extrema from later contingency solves.

Review comments at @pandapower/network_schema/trafo.py:
- Line 285: Update the TDPF schema metadata for cooling_type and
air_temperature_degree_celsius so columns with defaults remain optional during
validate_network group validation; apply the same change to the corresponding
trafo3w fields. Preserve the defaults supplied by runpp(tdpf=True) when those
columns are absent.

Review comments at @pandapower/pf/transformer_thermal.py:
- Around line 182-184: Update _ensure_columns and the per-step processing used
by _calculate_trafo and _calculate_trafo3w to reset existing thermal result
columns to NaN before processing each step, not only initialize missing columns.
Write temperatures only for rows whose calculation succeeds, so skipped rows
cannot retain values from a prior step.

Review comments at @pandapower/timeseries/run_time_series.py:
- Line 181: Update the voltage-only recycling condition near the transformer
thermal-variable check so it disables that path whenever TDPF is enabled,
regardless of which variables the output writer logs. Preserve the existing
thermal-variable handling for non-TDPF runs.
- Around line 184-186: Update the default runpp path in run_timeseries so
transformer temperature calculations receive the preceding time step’s top-oil
temperature. Reuse one tracker across the time-series run and advance it exactly
once after each completed time step; do not rely on the TimeSeriesRunpp tracker,
which this default path does not use. Preserve the per-step result-read behavior
selected by the recycle settings.

Review comments at @tutorials/temperature_dependent_power_flow_trafo.ipynb:
- Around line 20-21: Update the notebook’s installation command to include the
`plotting` extra alongside `tdpf`, or clearly state that readers must install
matplotlib separately, so the setup covers the `matplotlib.pyplot` import and
later `.plot()` calls.

Validate line columns only when TDPF lines are selected.

When ordinary lines have no TDPF selection, missing thermal columns can raise UserWarning before transformer validation. If tdpf is absent, create it as False for downstream branch conversion.

Include temperatures in the first parallel contingency run.

If the input network has not already completed a thermal power flow, this pre-solve column check excludes transformer temperature. Workers return only variables in result_variables, so valid N-1 temperatures cannot reach the parent process. The later base solve cannot restore the missing N-1 extrema. Determine availability before dispatch from the requested TDPF configuration, or establish the result columns with a base solve first. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Select transformer temperatures before the first contingency solve.

If run_contingency starts with a fresh network, neither transformer result table contains the optional temperature column yet. This pre-solve check then omits temperature from result_variables. Later N-1 and N-0 calls may create valid temperatures, but _update_contingency_results never collects their extrema. Select the variable from the requested TDPF capability, or run a base solve before finalizing the variable list. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Clear prior temperatures before each calculation.

If a transformer produced temperatures in one step and its next calculation is skipped, _ensure_columns retains the old values. Both _calculate_trafo and _calculate_trafo3w can skip rows, while recycled result extraction does not reset their thermal columns. The current step can therefore report an earlier temperature as valid, including to an output writer. Set the existing thermal columns to NaN before processing each step, then write values only for successful rows. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Disable voltage-only recycling whenever transformer TDPF results are needed.

If tdpf=True but the output writer does not log a thermal variable, this condition leaves the voltage-only batch path enabled. On a recycled step, _recycled_powerflow returns before _ppci_to_net, so it does not calculate new transformer temperatures. The network retains an earlier temperature even though the TDPF time step completed. Gate the voltage-only path on the TDPF option, not solely on logged variable names. This is separate from carrying previous thermal state. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Carry thermal state through the default time-series path.

If a user logs a transformer temperature, this branch selects per-step result reads, but run_timeseries still uses ordinary runpp by default. That path calls calculate_transformer_temperatures without initial_top_oil_temperature; the tracker in TimeSeriesRunpp is not involved. Each finite-delay step therefore starts cold instead of using the preceding step’s top-oil temperature. Connect one tracker to the default time-series run path and advance it once per completed time step. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep winding thermal state across tracker steps.

TransformerThermalTracker carries only the top-oil temperature. Each later step starts a new library run with InitialTopOilTemp. In transformer-thermal-model 0.6.0, that initial state sets the hot-spot and winding increases to zero. The hot spot for each step therefore restarts from the top-oil value. Repeated short steps at constant load can report a hot-spot temperature that stays below the continuous-model value.

The tracker docstring states that chaining the thermal state makes a time series physically meaningful. The hot-spot results do not meet that goal, because the winding state is discarded between steps.

The library's initial states accept only a top-oil temperature, so this cannot be corrected by passing one more value. Possible approaches include running the library over the accumulated load history instead of a two-sample profile, or changing the library to accept a winding state. Choose one approach and check the two-winding readout before changing the tracker.

Review comment at @pandapower/pf/transformer_thermal.py around lines 171 - 172:
Update TransformerThermalTracker so winding and hot-spot thermal state is preserved across steps rather than restarting each run from InitialTopOilTemp. Before changing the tracker, verify how the library exposes the two-winding readout and establish a supported approach, such as running accumulated load history or adding library support for winding state; do not assume InitialTopOilTemp can carry that state.

Default null cooling types in direct calculations.

If cooling_type exists but contains np.nan or pd.NA, row.get("cooling_type", "ONAN") returns that null value. _cooling_type then raises ValueError, and the calculation skips the transformer. The direct entry point does not run _check_tdpf_trafo_parameters, so its null defaulting does not protect this path. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Apply the ONAN fallback to null values as well as absent columns in both constructor paths. Include partially populated cooling columns in the direct-call tests.

Also applies to: 318-318
