Month: 2024-12 — Pandapower development focused on enhancing solver observability and parity with NR. Delivered BFSW Convergence Iteration Reporting to expose the number of iterations to convergence, mirroring NR behavior. Implemented by modifying _bfswpf to return the iteration count and updating _run_bfswpf to store this metric in the ppci dictionary alongside existing results. This change is backed by commit ed810fa085bdac4e750a988c022cfbf911f3b93c. Business value: improved diagnostic capability, faster root-cause analysis, and parity with NR results, leading to more reliable performance and user confidence. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python development, solver integration, data-structure augmentation (ppci dict), and cross-solver design.
