PowerSystems.jl
The PowerSystems.jl package provides a rigorous data model using Julia structures to enable power systems analysis and modeling. In addition to stand-alone system analysis tools and data model building, the PowerSystems.jl package is used as the foundational data container for the PowerSimulations.jl and PowerSimulationsDynamics.jl packages. PowerSystems.jl supports a limited number of data file formats for parsing.
Version Advisory
- PowerSystems will work with Julia v1.6+.
Device data enabled in PowerSystems
- Generators (Thermal, Renewable and Hydro)
- Transmission (Lines, and Transformers)
- Active Flow control devices (DC Lines and Phase Shifting Transformers)
- TwoTerminal and Multiterminal HVDC
- Topological elements (Buses, Arcs, Areas)
- Storage (Batteries)
- Load (Static, and Curtailable)
- Services (Reserves, Transfers)
- TimeSeries (Deterministic, Scenarios, Probabilistic)
- Dynamic Generators Models
- Dynamic Inverter Models
For information on using the package and a more extensive list of device data enabled, see the stable documentation. Use the in-development documentation for the version of the documentation which contains the unreleased features.
Parsing capabilities in PowerSystems
- MATPOWER CaseFormat
- PSS/e - PTI Format v30 (partial support), v33, v35 (.raw and .dyr files)
- RTS-GMLC table data format
