About PowSyBl
PowSyBl (Power System Blocks) is an open-source library written in Java, dedicated to electrical grid modeling, visualization and simulation. The power system blocks may be used through scripts for a quick operations, but also be assembled to build state-of-the-art applications.
PowSyBl is part of the LF Energy Foundation, a project of The Linux Foundation that supports open-source innovation projects within the energy and electricity sectors.
One major aim of the project is to make it easy to write complex software for power system simulation and analysis.
A key characteristic of PowSyBl is its modular design, at the core of the open-source approach. It enables developers to extend or customize its features by providing their own plugins.
With PowSyBl, you can create applications that can:
- Handle a large variety of formats, such as CIM-CGMES for European data exchanges;
- Allow you to visualize the network and manipulate it endlessly;
- Perform power flow simulations and security analyses on the network;
- Optimize remedial actions in the network in order to relieve operational limits violations;
- Perform short-circuit analyses on the network;
- Perform dynamic simulations on the network.
