Open Source Modeling for Power Systems Dynamics

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

Time-domain simulations for power systems (both phasor and electromagnetic transients) are mostly dominated by commercial tools, such as PSS/E or PSCAD. However, with the increasing penetration of inverter-based resources and changes in model paradigm, new open-source tools are looking into become a possible alternative for a range of stakeholders. In this presentation we will focus on how to improve communication with industry and other stakeholders to properly showcase the value of open source simulators. Participants will identify current barriers facing the adoption of open-source time-domain tools, and will discuss how to improve the bench-marking processes across different tools, while maintaining software modularity to include new features and models as new challenges continue to happen in energy systems.
