NEW FEATURES:

• The ‘select’ parameter of readAntares() has been improved. It now accepts new keywords “areas”, “links”, “clusters”, “districts” to indicate which type of data to read,“mcYears” to import detailed results, “misc”, “mustRun”, etc. to import the corresponding input data.
• A new function setAlias() has been added. It permits to packages developers to define new aliases to use in the ‘select’ parameter of readAntares() in order to help their users to import the required data.
• readBindingConstraints() has been improved and returns an object of class ‘bindingConstraints’ which is a named list where each element has the same structure.
• A summary method has been added for objects of class ‘bindingConstraints’. It is useful to quickly look at the binding contraints defined in a study.
• readAntares(mustRun = TRUE) now adds a new column “thermalPmin”. It is similar to mustRunTotal, except it also takes into account the minimum stable power of the cluster units.

• removeVirtualAreas was requiring some data that was not necesary. It should be OK now.
• setSimulationPath() was crashing when one wanted to read the input data of a study before having run any simulation.
• Variable “timeId” is now always numeric. Before it was numeric except for annual data where it could be character or factor.

antaresRead 0.14 (2016-11-14)

• removeVirtualAreas() has a new parameter “newCols” that permits to choose whether to create new columns containing the production of the virtual areas or to update the existing ones.
• removeVirtualAreas() now also removes virtual links from the data. Before it was removing virtual areas but keeping the virtual links.
• If the transmission capacity of the links is present in the data, removeVirtualAreas() now creates two new columns containing the capacity of pumping and storage of areas. These columns are used to compute upward and downward margins.
• New functions as.antaresDataTable and as.antaresDataList have been added to convert compatible objects to these classes.

antaresRead 0.13 (2016-10-06)

BREAKING CHANGES:

NEW FEATURES:

• getLinks() can now return a table with the specification of the links, thanks to two new parameters “namesOnly” and “withDirection”
• It is now possible to import several times the same Monte-Carlo scenario. This can be useful for performance test or to use bootstrap methods.

BUGFIXES:

• readClusterDesc was not working in input mode.
• Sometimes setSimulationPath changed working directory.
• Solved some performance issues in readAntares() and removeVirtualAreas().

antaresRead 0.11 (2016-08-01)

BUGFIXES:

• setSimulationPath was crashing if parameter ‘horizon’ was not set in Antares.
• changeTimeStep sometimes generated NA values because of integer overflow.

antaresRead 0.10 (2016-07-18)

BREAKING CHANGES: * Variable mustRunModuction has been renamed minGenModulation for consistency with Antares * Similarly in the object returned by setSimulationPath and simOptions, “setList” has been renamed “districtList”

antaresRead 0.9.1 (2016-07-05)

BUGFIXES:

• readAntares was incorrectly setting attributes of its ouput. This resulted in errors when using functions of the antaresProcessing package.

• The construction of the weeks was wrong when a year did not start on january.
• The import of inputs was wrong when the study was not conducted on a whole year but on a smaller period.

NEW FEATURES:

• new function ‘readInputTS’ to read input time series (without output time series)

• getAreas has a new argument “withClustersOnly” to select areas containing clusters
• readAntares can now also add input time series to districts like it does for areas

BUGFIXES:

• ‘copyToClipboard’ was copying the word “txt” instead of copying data
• ‘removeVirtualNodes’ was not creating some columns for production virtual nodes.
• The option ‘mustRun’ in readAntares was not functionning correctly

antaresRead 0.4 (2016-04-29)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• The parameters and the output of “readAntares” have been modified. The output has now only three components: nodes, links and clusters. If the user asks other information like hydro storage or links capacities, they are added to the corresponding component.
