February 2025 monthly summary for powsybl-core: Implemented Consistent Local Regulation Target Voltage Across Generators feature. Refactored SetGeneratorToLocalRegulation to ensure that when multiple generators regulate locally on the same bus, they adopt the same target voltage. Target voltage is the closest to nominal among regulating terminals; if no local regulators, fall back to nominal voltage of the voltage level. Change captured in commit c4d300ec54b7bb13d410254eb81e67594e07f7c0 addressing issue #3287. Business value: improves reliability and predictability of voltage regulation across generators, reducing cross-generator voltage mismatches and simplifying operation. Technical impact: cleaner design, better testability, and maintainable code. Technologies/skills: Java, code refactoring, design for reliability, traceability to issue #3287.
