Now, when a simulation with SIMONA is started (see `above <#running-a-standalone-simulation>`_), the external simulation is triggered at each tick that it requested.

Troubleshooting
===============

My power flow calculation isn't converging - why is that?
---------------------------------------------------------

When your power flow is not converging it means that the load situation in the grid during the time of the power flow calculation is not physically feasible.

This can have basically one of the following two reasons:

#.
There is more load in the grid than it can physically handle.

#.
There is more generation in the grid than it can physically handle.

One of the main reasons is a misconfiguration of the grid and its assets.
Assess the power of the load and generation units and check if the values make sense.
Keep in mind the metric prefixes that are assumed for the models, which are listed in the `PSDM docs <https://powersystemdatamodel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>`_.
If everything seems to be configured correctly it could also be the case that the grid itself is incorrectly configured.
Do a similar sanity check for the grids assets.
