Short Description: The OpenDSS is an electric power Distribution System Simulator (DSS) for supporting distributed resource integration and grid modernization efforts.
Description: OpenDSS is an electric power distribution system simulator (DSS) designed to support distributed energy resource (DER) grid integration and grid modernization. It enables engineers to perform complex analyses using a flexible, customizable, and easy to use platform intended specifically to meet current and future distribution system challenges and provides a foundation for understanding and integrating new technologies and resources.
Capabilities: Its capabilities includes unbalanced, multi-phase power flow, Quasi-static time-series (QSTS), fault analysis, harmonic analysis, flicker analysis, dynamic (electro-mechanical) analysis, linear and non-linear analysis, and stray voltage/current analysis.
