pandapower is an easy to use network calculation program aimed to automate the analysis and optimization of power
systems. It uses the data analysis library `pandas `_ and is compatible with the commonly
used MATPOWER / PYPOWER case format. pandapower allows using different solvers including an improved Newton-Raphson
power flow implementation, all `PYPOWER `_ solvers, the C++ library solvers for
fast steady-state distribution power system analysis of `PowerGridModel `_,
the Newton-Raphson power flow solvers in the C++ library `lightsim2grid `_,
and the `PowerModels.jl `_ library.

More information about pandapower can be found on `www.pandapower.org `_:

To get realistic load profile data and grid models across all voltage levels that are ready to
be used in pandapower, have a look at the *SimBench* `project website `_ or
`on GitHub `_.
