Focus Topic

Transient stability analysis of low-inertia power systems

Primary Purpose

Dynamic simulation of power systems in Julia

Description

PowerSimulationsDynamics.jl is a Julia package for power system modeling and simulation of Power Systems dynamics. The objectives of the package are:

• Provide a flexible modeling framework that can accommodate different device models according to modeling needs.
• Streamline the construction of large scale differential equations problems to avoid repetition of work when adding/modifying model details.
• Exploit Julia's capabilities to improve computational performance of large scale power system dynamic simulations.
• Provide State-of-Art modeling to assess Low-Inertia Power Systems.
