Transmission Network

Dolphyn.load_network_map_from_list — Method

load_network_map_from_list(network_var::DataFrame, Z, L, list_columns)

Loads the network map from a list-style interface

..., Network_Lines, Origin_Zone, Destination_Zone, ...
                 1,           1,                2,
                 2,           1,                3,

source

Dolphyn.load_network_map_from_matrix — Method

load_network_map_from_matrix(network_var::DataFrame, Z, L)

Loads the network map from a matrix-style interface

..., Network_Lines, z1, z2, z3, ...
                 1,  1, -1,  0,
                 2,  1,  0, -1,

This is equivalent to the list-style interface where the zone zN with entry +1 is the starting node of the line and the zone with entry -1 is the ending node of the line.
