Power Grid Analyzer (PGAz) is an open-source MATLAB-based software designed for analyzing and controlling future power grids. It currently features power flow (PF) and optimal power flow (OPF) analysis, with future plans to include stability and time-domain simulations.
In this project, we introduce Power Grid Analyzer (PGAz), an open-source software package based on MATLAB, specifically designed for analyzing and controlling future power grids. Initially, PGAz is equipped with four fundamental features:
- Power flow (PF)
- Optimal power flow (OPF)
- Small-signal stability analysis (SSSA)
- Time-domain simulation (TS)
Part I concentrates on the development of PF and OPF, incorporating effective methods such as the Newton-Raphson method, Gauss-Seidel method, Interior Point Method, Iwamoto’s method, Fast Decoupled Load Flow, Genetic Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization. These have been tested against IEEE benchmarks ranging from the IEEE 5-bus to the IEEE 300-bus test systems.
Objective
The objectives include developing the open-source PGAz software using MATLAB for flexible power grid analysis, focusing on PF, CPF, and OPF, and validating the tool using IEEE standard test systems.
- Develop PGAz as an open-source software using MATLAB for power grid analysis.
- Enable users to flexibly customize models using MATLAB.
- Focus on Power Flow (PF), Continuation Power Flow (CPF), and Optimal Power Flow (OPF) analysis.
- Test the capabilities of PGAz using IEEE standard test systems.
