PowSyBl vs PowSyBl Distribution

PowSyBl Distribution allows for the generation of a basic distribution of PowSyBl. It supports the following itools commands:

Computation

• compare-security-analysis-results
• loadflow
• loadflow-validation
• security-analysis

Data conversion

• convert-network

Misc

• plugins-info

Script

• run-script

Getting started

To generate a basic PowSyBl distribution, you can then launch from the root repository:

$ cd <PROJECT_ROOT_PATH>
$ mvn clean package

The PowSyBl distribution is generated in the <PROJECT_ROOT_PATH>/target folder. For easier use of itools commands, adding <PROJECT_ROOT_PATH>/target/powsybl-distribution-<powsybldistribution.version>/bin to your environment variable PATH is recommended.

Notes:

• Test network files in the resources folder are present in the etc folder of the generated distribution.
• A configuration file is provided in this distribution but will be overriden by your local configuration file if you have one.
