Universal Generating Operator

Introduction

Solving a network ntw through the univeral generating operator may be accomplished through:

MultiStateSystems.solve! — Method

solve!(ntw::MultiStateSystems.AbstractNetwork)

Solve a multi-state network system using the Universal Generating Operator (UGO) method. This function determines the universal generating function for each user in the network by analyzing the network structure and computing the power flow from sources to users through components.

The function performs the following steps:

Solves each subnetwork in the system
Computes reliability indices (GRA, EENS) for users when requested
Handles dependent sources by combining their effects
Updates user UGFs and STDs with the final results

Arguments

ntw::AbstractNetwork: The network to solve

Example

julia> ntw = Network()
julia> add_source!(ntw, node=1, std=STD(...))
julia> add_component!(ntw, edge=(1,2), std=STD(...))
julia> add_user!(ntw, node=2, ind=[:EENS, :GRA])
julia> solve!(ntw)

Note

This function modifies the network in-place, updating user properties with computed UGFs, STDs, and reliability indices.
