Change Log

[TODO]

  • [???] add multi agent
  • [???] make observation read only / immutable for all its properties (and not just for prod_p)
  • [???] better logging
  • [???] shunts in observation too, for real (but what to do when backend is not shunt compliant to prevent the stuff to break)
  • [???] model agent acting at different time frame
  • [???] model delay in observations
  • [???] model delay in action
  • [???] Code and test the "load from disk" method
  • [???] Make the redispatching data independant from the time step (eg instead of "in MW / step" have it in "MW / h" and have grid2op convert it to MW / step
  • [???] Extensive tests for BridgeReward
  • [???] Extensive tests for DistanceReward
  • [???] add a "plot action" method
  • [???] simulate in MultiEnv
  • [???] in MultiEnv, when some converter of the observations are used, have each child process to compute it in parallel and transfer the resulting data.
  • [???] "asynch" multienv
  • [???] properly model interconnecting powerlines

[1.6.0] - 2021-06-yy

  • [BREAKING] (but transparent for everyone): the disc_lines attribute is now part of the environment, and is also containing integer (representing the "order" on which the lines are disconnected due to protections) rather than just boolean.
  • [BREAKING] now the observation stores the information related to shunts by default. This means old logs computed with the runner might not work with this new version.
  • [BREAKING] the "Runner.py" file has been renamed, following pep convention "runner.py". You should rename your import from grid2op.Runner.Runner import Runner to from grid2op.Runner.runner import Runner (NB we higly recommend importing the Runner like from grid2op.Runner import Runner though !)
  • [FIXED]: some bugs in the action_space.get_all_unitary_redispatch and action_space.get_all_unitary_curtail
  • [FIXED]: some bugs in the GreedyAgent and TopologyGreedy
  • [FIXED]: Issue#220 flow_bus_matrix did not took into account disconnected powerlines, leading to impossibility to compute this matrix in some cases.
  • [FIXED]: Issue#223 : now able to plot a grid even if there is nothing controllable in grid2op present in it.
  • [FIXED]: an issue where the parameters would not be completely saved when saved in json format (alarm feature was absent)
  • [ADDED] support for the "alarm operator" / "attention budget" feature
  • [ADDED] retrieval of the max_step (ie the maximum number of step that can be performed for the current episode) in the observation
  • [ADDED] some handy argument in the action_space.get_all_unitary_redispatch and action_space.get_all_unitary_curtail (see doc)
  • [IMPROVED] prevent the use of the same instance of a backend in different environments
  • [IMPROVED] Issue#217 : no more errors when trying to load a grid with unsupported elements (eg. 3w trafos or static generators) by PandaPowerBackend
  • [IMPROVED] Issue#215 : warnings are issued when elements present in pandapower grid will not be modified grid2op side.
  • [IMPROVED] Issue#214 : adding the shunt information in the observation documentation.
  • [IMPROVED] documentation to use the env.change_paramters function.

[1.5.2] - 2021-05-10

  • [BREAKING]: allow the opponent to chose the duration of its attack. This breaks the previous "Opponent.attack(...)" signature by adding an object in the return value. All code provided with grid2op are compatible with this new change. (for previously coded opponent, the only thing you have to do to make it compliant with the new interface is, in the opponent.attack(...) function return whatever_you_returned_before, None instead of simply whatever_you_returned_before
  • [FIXED]: Issue#196 an issue related to the low / high of the observation if using the gym_compat module. Some more protections are enforced now.
  • [FIXED]: Issue#196 an issue related the scaling when negative numbers are used (in these cases low / max would be mixed up)
  • [FIXED]: an issue with the IncreasingFlatReward reward types
  • [FIXED]: a bug due to the conversion of int to float in the range of the BoxActionSpace for the gym_compat module
  • [FIXED]: a bug in the BoxGymActSpace, BoxGymObsSpace, MultiDiscreteActSpace and DiscreteActSpace where the order of the attribute for the conversion was encoded in a set. We enforced a sorted list now. We did not manage to find a bug caused by this issue, but it is definitely possible. This has been fixed now.
  • [FIXED]: a bug where, when an observation was set to a "game over" state, some of its attributes were below the maximum values allowed in the BoxGymObsSpace
  • [ADDED]: a reward EpisodeDurationReward that is always 0 unless at the end of an episode where it returns a float proportional to the number of step made from the beginning of the environment.
  • [ADDED]: in the Observation the possibility to retrieve the current number of steps
  • [ADDED]: easier function to manipulate the max number of iteration we want to perform directly from the environment
  • [ADDED]: function to retrieve the maximum duration of the current episode.
  • [ADDED]: a new kind of opponent that is able to attack at "more random" times with "more random" duration. See the GeometricOpponent.
  • [IMPROVED]: on windows at least, grid2op does not work with gym < 0.17.2 Checks are performed in order to make sure the installed open ai gym package meets this requirement (see issue Issue#185 )
  • [IMPROVED] the seed of openAI gym for composed action space (see issue openai/gym#2166): in waiting for an official fix, grid2op will use the solution proposed there openai/gym#2166 (comment) )

[1.5.1] - 2021-04-15

  • [FIXED]: Issue#194: (post release): change the name of the file platform.py that could be mixed with the python "platform" module to _glop_platform_info.py
  • [FIXED]: Issue #187: improve the computation and the documentation of the RedispReward. This has an impact on the env.reward_range of all environments using this reward, because the old "reward_max" was not correct.
  • [FIXED] Issue #181 : now environment can be created with a layout and a warning is issued in this case.
  • [FIXED] Issue #180 : it is now possible to set the thermal limit with a dictionary
  • [FIXED] a typo that would cause the attack to be discarded in the runner in some cases (cases for now not used)
  • [FIXED] an issue linked to the transformation into gym box space for some environments, this might be linked to Issue #185
  • [ADDED] a feature to retrieve the voltage angle (theta) in the backend (backend.get_theta) and in the observation.
  • [ADDED] support for multimix in the GymEnv (lack of support spotted thanks to Issue #185 )
  • [ADDED] basic documentation of the environment available.
  • [ADDED] Issue #166 : support for simulate in multi environment settings.
  • [IMPROVED] extra layer of security preventing modification of observation_space and action_space of environment
  • [IMPROVED] better handling of dynamically generated classes
  • [IMPROVED] the documentation of the opponent

[1.5.0] - 2021-03-31

  • [BREAKING] backend.check_kirchoff() method now returns also the discrepancy in the voltage magnitude and not only the error in the P and Q injected at each bus.
  • [BREAKING] the class method "to_dict" used to serialize the action_space and observation_space has been renamed cls_to_dict to avoid confusion with the to_dict method of action and observation (that stores, as dictionary the instance of the action / observation). It is now then possible to serialize the action class used and the observation class used as dictionary to (using action.cls_to_dict)
  • [BREAKING] for backend class implementation: need to upgrade your code to take into account the storage units if some are present in the grid even if you don't want to use storage units.
  • [BREAKING] the backend runpf method now returns a flag indicating if the simulation was successful AND (new) the exception in case there are some (it now returns a tuple). This change only affect new Backends.
  • [BREAKING] rename the attribute "parameters" of the "observation_space" to _simulate_parameters to avoid confusion with the parameters attributes of the environment.
  • [BREAKING] change of behaviour of the env.parameters attribute behaviour. It is no more possible to modified it with env.parameters = ... and the env.parameters.PARAM_ATTRIBUTE = xxx will have not effect at all. Use env.change_parameters(new_parameters) for changing the environment parameters and env.change_forecast_parameters(new_param_for_simulate) for changing the parameters used for simulate. (NB in both case you need to perform a "env.reset()" for the new parameters to be used. Any attempt to use an environment without a call to 'env.reset()' will lead to undefined behaviour).
  • [BREAKING] env.obs_space.rewardClass is not private and is called env.obs_space._reward_func. To change this function, you need to call env.change_reward(...)
  • [BREAKING] more consistency in the observation attribute names, they are now gen_p, gen_q and gen_v instead of prod_p, prod_q and prod_v (old names are still accessible for backward compatibility in the observation space) but conversion to json / dict will be affected as well as the converters (eg for gym compatibility)
  • [FIXED] Issue #164: reward is now properly computed at the end of an episode.
  • [FIXED] A bug where after running a Runner, the corresponding EpisodeData's CollectionWrapper where not properly updated, and did not contain any objects.
  • [FIXED] A bug when the opponent should chose an attack with all lines having flow 0, but one being still connected.
  • [FIXED] An error in the obs.flow_bus_matrix when active_flow=False and there were shunts on the powergrid.
  • [FIXED] obs.connectivity_matrix now properly takes into account when two objects are disconnected (before it was as if there were connected together)
  • [FIXED] some surprising behaviour when using obs.simulate just before or just after a planned maintenance operation.
  • [FIXED] a minimal bug in the env.copy method (the wrong simulated backend was used in the observation at right after the copy).
  • [FIXED] a bug in the serialization (as vector) of some action classes, namely: PowerlineSetAction and PowerlineSetAndDispatchAction and PowerlineChangeDispatchAndStorageAction
  • [FIXED] a bug preventing to use the obs.XXX_matrix() function twice
  • [FIXED] issue Issue #172: wrong assertion was made preventing the use of env.train_val_split_random()
  • [FIXED] issue Issue #173: a full nan vector could be converted to action or observation without any issue if it had the proper dimension. This was due to a conversion to integer from float.
  • [FIXED] an issue preventing to load the grid2op.utils submodule when installed not in "develop" mode
  • [FIXED] some issue with the multiprocessing of the runner on windows
  • [ADDED] more complete documentation for the runner.

  • [ADDED] documentation of the main elements of the grid and their "modeling" in grid2op.
  • [ADDED] parameters are now checked and refused if not valid (a RuntimeError is raised)
  • [ADDED] support for storage unit in grid2op (analog as a "load" convention positive: power absorbed from the grid, negative: power given to the grid having some energy limit and power limit). A new object if added in the substation.
  • [ADDED] Support for sparse matrices in obs.bus_connectivity_matrix
  • [ADDED] In the observation, it is now possible to retrieve the "active flow graph" (ie graph with edges having active flows, and nodes the active production / consumption) and "reactive flow graph" (see flow_bus_matrix)
  • [ADDED] more consistent behaviour when using the action space across the different type of actions. Now it should understand much more way to interact with it.
  • [ADDED] lots of action properties to manipulate action in a more pythonic way, for example using act.load_set_bus = ... instead of the previously way more verbose act.update({"set_bus": {"loads_id": ...}} (this applies for load, gen, storage, line_or and line_ex and to set_bus and change_bus and also to storage_p and redispatch so making 12 "properties" in total)
  • [ADDED] an option to retrieve in memory the EpisodeData of each episode computed when using the runner. see runner.run(..., add_detailed_output=True)
  • [ADDED] the option as_csr_matrix in obs.connectivity_matrix function
  • [ADDED] convenient option to get the topology of a substation from an observation (obs.sub_topology(sub_id=...))
  • [ADDED] some basic tests for the environments shipped with grid2op.
  • [ADDED] grid2op now ships with the l2rpn_case14_sandbox environment
  • [ADDED] a function to list environments available for testing / illustration purpose.

  • [IMPROVED] simplify the interface for the gym converter.
  • [IMPROVED] simplify the interface for the env.train_val_split and env.train_val_split_random
  • [IMPROVED] print of an action now limits the number of decimal for redispatching and storage units

  • [ADDED] a utils module to store the data of some environment and be able to compute the scores (as in the neurips l2rpn competitions). This module might move at a different place in the future
  • [ADDED] a function to "split" an environment into train / validation using os.symlink

  • [FIXED] Issue #146: awkward behaviour that lead to not calling the reward function when the episode was over.
  • [FIXED] Issue #147: un consistency between step and simulate when cooldowns where applied (rule checking was not using the right method).
  • [FIXED] An error preventing the loading of an Ambiguous Action (in case an agent took such action, the EpisodeData would not load it properly.
  • [IMPROVED] overall documentation of BaseEnv and Environment
  • [IMPROVED] rationalize the public and private part of the API for Environment and BaseEnv. Some members have been moved to private attribute (their modification would largely alterate the behaviour of grid2op).

  • [IMPROVED] Improved documentation for the Environment and MultiMixEnvironment.

[1.2.2] - 2020-08-19

[1.2.1] - 2020-08-18

  • [ADDED] a function that allows to modify some parameters of the environment (see grid2op.update_env)
  • [ADDED] a class to convert between two backends
  • [FIXED] out dated documentation in some classes
  • [FIXED] `Issue #140<https://github.com/rte-france/Grid2Op/issues/140>`_: illegal action were not properly computed in some cases, especially in case of divergence of the powerflow. Also now the "why" the action is illegal is displayed (instead of a generic "this action is illegal".
  • [FIXED] `LightSim Issue #10<https://github.com/BDonnot/lightsim2grid/issues/10>`_: copy of whole environments without needing pickle module.
  • [UPDATED] a missing class documentation Chronics.Multifolder in that case.

[1.2.0] - 2020-08-03

  • [ADDED] ActionSpace.sample method is now implemented
  • [ADDED] DeltaRedispatchRandomAgent: that takes redispatching actions of a configurable [-delta;+delta] in MW on random generators.
  • [FIXED] `Issue #129<https://github.com/rte-france/Grid2Op/issues/129>`_: game over count for env_actions
  • [FIXED] Issue #127: Removed no longer existing attribute docstring indisponibility
  • [FIXED] Issue #133: Missing positional argument space_prng in Action.SerializableActionSpace
  • [FIXED] Issue #131: Forecast values are accessible without needing to call obs.simulate beforehand.
  • [FIXED] Issue #134: Backend iadd actions with lines extremities disconnections (set -1)
  • [FIXED] issue Issue #125
  • [FIXED] issue Issue #126 Loading runner logs no longer checks environment actions ambiguity
  • [IMPROVED] issue Issue #16 improving openai gym integration.
  • [IMPROVED] Issue #134 lead us to review and rationalize the behavior of grid2op concerning the powerline status. Now it behave more rationally and has now the following behavior: if a powerline origin / extremity bus is "set" to -1 at one end and not modified at the other, it will disconnect this powerline, if a powerline origin / extremity bus is "set" to 1 or 2 at one end and not modified at the other, it will reconnect the powerline. If a powerline bus is "set" to -1 at one end and set to 1 or 2 at its other end the action is ambiguous.
  • [IMPROVED] way to count what is affect by an action (affect the cooldown of substation and powerline and the legality of some action). And action disconnect a powerline (using the "set_bus") will be considered to affect only this powerline (and not on its substations) if and only if the powerline was connected (otherwise it affects also on the substation). An action that connects a powerline (using the "set_bus") will affect only this powerline (and not its substations) if and only if this powerline was disconnected ( otherwise it affects the substations but not the powerline). Changing the bus of an extremity of a powerline if this powerline is connected has no impact on its status and therefor it considers it only affects the corresponding substation.
  • [IMPROVED] added documentation and usage example for CombineReward and CombineScaledReward

  • [FIXED] forgot to print the name of the missing environment when error in creating it.
  • [FIXED] an issue in MultiFolder.sample_next_chronics that did not returns the right index
  • [FIXED] an issue that prevented the EpisodeData class to load back properly the action of the environment. This might have side effect if you used the obs.from_vect or act.from_vect in non conventional ways.
  • [ADDED] some documentation and example for the MultiProcessEnv
  • [IMPROVED] check that the sub environments are suitable grid2op.Environment.Environment in multiprocess env.

  • [ADDED] possibility to use simulate on the current observation.
  • [ADDED] the overload of "__getattr__" for environment running in parallel
  • [ADDED] capability to change the powerlines on which the opponent attack at the environment initialization

  • [FIXED] Issue #114 the issue concerning the bug for the maintenance.

[0.9.3] - 2020-05-29

  • [FIXED] Issue #69 MultEnvironment is now working with windows based OS.
  • [ADDED] Issue #108 Seed is now part of the public agent API. The notebook has been updated accordingly.

  • [UPDATED] the first introductory notebook.
  • [UPDATED] possibility to reconnect / disconnect powerline giving its name when using reconnect_powerline and disconnect_powerline methods of the action space.

  • [FIXED] a problem on the grid name import on some version of pandas
  • [ADDED] a function that returns the types of the action see action.get_types()

  • [FIXED] the issue of the random seed used in the environment for the runner.

[0.9.0] - 2020-05-19

  • [BREAKING] Issue #83: attributes name of the Parameters class are now more consistent with the rest of the package. Use NB_TIMESTEP_OVERFLOW_ALLOWED instead of NB_TIMESTEP_POWERFLOW_ALLOWED, NB_TIMESTEP_COOLDOWN_LINE instead of NB_TIMESTEP_LINE_STATUS_REMODIF and NB_TIMESTEP_COOLDOWN_SUB instead of NB_TIMESTEP_TOPOLOGY_REMODIF
  • [BREAKING] Issue #87: algorithm of the environment that solves the redispatching to make sure the environment meet the phyiscal constraints is now cast into an optimization routine that uses scipy.minimize to be solved. This has a few consequences: more dispatch actions are tolerated, computation time can be increased in some cases, when the optimization problem cannot be solved, a game over is thrown, scipy is now a direct dependency of grid2op, code base of grid2op is simpler.
  • [BREAKING] any attempt to use an un intialized environment (eg after a game over but before calling env.reset will now raise a Grid2OpException)
  • [FIXED] Issue #84: it is now possible to load multiple environments in the same python script and perform random action on each.
  • [FIXED] Issue #86: the proper symmetries are used to generate all the actions that can "change" the buses (SerializationActionSpace.get_all_unitary_topologies_change).
  • [FIXED] Issue #88: two flags are now used to tell the environment whether or not to activate the possibility to dispatch a turned on generator (forbid_dispatch_off) and whether or not to ignore the gen_min_uptimes and gen_min_downtime propertiers (ignore_min_up_down_times) that are initialized from the Parameters of the grid now.
  • [FIXED] Issue #89: pandapower backend should not be compatible with changing the bus of the generator representing the slack bus.
  • [FIXED] Greedy agents now uses the proper data types dt_float for the simulated reward (previously it was platform dependant)
  • [ADDED] A way to limit EpisodeReplay to a specific part of the episode. Two arguments have been added, namely: start_step and end_step that default to the full episode duration.
  • [ADDED] more flexibilities in IdToAct converter not to generate every action for both set and change for example. This class can also serialize and de serialize the list of all actions with the save method (to serialize) and the init_converter method (to read back the data).
  • [ADDED] a feature to have multiple difficulty levels per dataset.
  • [ADDED] a converter to transform prediction in connectivity of element into valid grid2op action. See Converter.ConnectivitiyConverter for more information.
  • [ADDED] a better control for the seeding strategy in Environment and MultiEnvironment to improve the reproducibility of the experiments.
