AC powerflow breaks in the presence of switches

[eperim]

It looks like AC powerflow does not work for networks that have switches, even for the examples contained within the project itself:

This also happens if I call set_ac_pf_start_values!(network_data) before calling solve_ac_pf. It looks to me that all relevant fields for the switch are there, so I'd imagine the issue is somewhere around the instantiation of the model? Or am I doing something wrong?

[ccoffrin]

You should call one of these OPF variants that support switch data, https://github.com/lanl-ansi/PowerModels.jl/blob/master/src/prob/test.jl#L49-L221

[eperim]

Is there any implementation of powerflow that supports switches?

[eperim]

@ccoffrin Just confirming: is there any method in the package that supports running PF with switches, or does PowerModels only support switches in OPF runs?
