Python Power |
Pylon is a software package for simulation and analysis of electric power systems and energy markets. Its purpose is to provide a simple yet powerful tool for Power Engineering students and researchers that is not tied to proprietary software and can be used and extended easily.
Pylon’s features currently include:
With Python and setuptools installed, run:
$ easy_install pylon
Pylon will attempt to recognise the format of a data file, solve the AC power flow problem and output a ReStructuredText report by default:
$ pylon ehv3.raw
Full details of the command line options are available:
$ pylon --help
Refer to the documentation for detailed usage information.
Pylon is developed by Richard W. Lincoln (r.w.lincoln@gmail.com).
The power flow and optimal power flow routines provided with Pylon are translated from MATPOWER by R. D. Zimmerman, C. E. Murillo-Sanchez & D. Gan.
Pylon is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council through Grant GR/T28836/01 for the SUPERGEN Highly Distributed Power Systems Consortium.
