Pylon is a free and open source software package for simulation of electric power systems and energy markets.
Pylon`s purpose is to provide a simple yet powerful tool for electric power engineers that is not tied to proprietary software and can be used and extended easily.
Installation: To install Pylon on your Mac you will have to open a Terminal window, browse to Pylon`s folder and run the following command from inside that directory (you will need administrator privileges to be able to run it):
sudo python setup.py install
Here are some key features of "Pylon":
· DC and AC (Newton`s method & Fast Decoupled) power flow,
· DC and AC optimal power flow,
· State estimation,
· PSS/E, MATPOWER_ and PSAT_ data file parsers, and
· Agent-based market simultaion using reinforcement learning methods.
Requirements:
· Python
· SciPy
