RAO Business Logs#

Introduction#

These logs contain high-level business information about the search-tree algorithm. Activate them if you want an overview of the RAO steps, like the impact of topological actions and the optimization result of every perimeter. Most logs contain normal information, but some may contain errors (possible cases are listed below).

Description

Consequence

ra-optimisation

Initial sensitivity failure

“Initial sensitivity analysis failed : {error message}”

The initial sensitivity computation (at the beginning of the RAO) has failed

The RAO exits and returns an empty result

ra-optimisation

Post-contingency failure

“Scenario post-contingency {contingency name} could not be optimized.”

The optimization of post-contingency scenario (during an auto or curative instant) has failed

The RAO skips this post-contingency scenario and moves on to the next contingency.
No result for the failed contingency scenario will be produced.
The RAO will fail when trying to merge preventive & post-contingency results.

ra-optimisation

LF failure

“Loopflow computation cannot be performed CRAC {crac ID} because it lacks a ReferenceProgram or a GlskProvider”

Self-explanatory

The RAO is interrupted from the beginning

data/crac-io-api

CRAC error

*

Any error during CRAC creation (for example trying to import a CSE CRAC with a non-UCTE network)

The import (thus the RAO) is interrupted

data/refprog

RefProg import error

“RefProg file is not valid for this date {date}”
or
“Cannot import RefProg file because its publication time interval is unknown”

The RefProg file could not be imported

The RAO is interrupted from the beginning

ra-optimisation

Single-state optimization failure

“Optimizing state {state ID} failed: {error message}”

One-state only optimization failed

RAO returns a failed RAO output

ra-optimisation

MIP failure

“Linear optimization failed at iteration {iteration number}”

The solver may return a status different from “optimal” and “feasible”. In this case OpenRAO consider that the MIP optimization has failed.

If a previous iteration of the MIP optimization succeeded, its results is used in the rest of the process.
If it is the first iteration that failed, the RAO will fall back to the initial situation.
