PYPOWER is no longer actively maintained. However, should improvements
to PYPOWER be required then the original author <https://github.com/rwl>
may be available on contract. Please do not hesitate to get in
contact <mailto:r.w.lincoln@gmail.com>
directly.
PYPOWER depends upon these prerequisites on the level of the operating system:
PYPOWER is recommended to be installed into a virtual environment::
$ python3.8 -m venv venv # Or any supported Python version
PYPOWER depends upon NumPy, SciPy and PyRLU which can be installed as follows::
$ venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
The recommended way of installing PYPOWER is using pip_::
$ venv/bin/python -m pip install PYPOWER
Alternatively, download <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PYPOWER#downloads>
_ and
unpack the tarball and install::
$ tar zxf PYPOWER-5.x.y.tar.gz $ venv/bin/python setup.py install
PYPOWER can be tested locally using the same tooling as on Travis CI::
$ venv/bin/python -m tox -e py27,py38 # Or any supported Python version
Installing PYPOWER creates pf
and opf
commands. To list the command
options::
$ venv/bin/pf -h
or::
$ venv/bin/opf -h
PYPOWER includes a selection of test cases. For example, to run a power flow on the IEEE 14 bus test case::
$ venv/bin/pf -c case14
Alternatively, the path to a PYPOWER case data file can be specified::
$ venv/bin/pf /path/to/case14.py
The opf
command has the same calling syntax. For example, to solve an OPF
for the IEEE Reliability Test System and write the solved case to file::
$ venv/bin/opf -c case24_ieee_rts --solvedcase=rtsout.py
