PowerSystems.jl

The PowerSystems.jl package provides a rigorous data model using Julia structures to enable power systems analysis and modeling. In addition to stand-alone system analysis tools and data model building, the PowerSystems.jl package is used as the foundational data container for the PowerSimulations.jl and PowerSimulationsDynamics.jl packages. PowerSystems.jl supports a limited number of data file formats for parsing.

Version Advisory

• PowerSystems will work with Julia v1.6+.
• If you are planning to use PowerSystems.jl in your package, check the roadmap to version 3.0 for upcoming changes
