Creating Power Flow Records to Initialize Dynamical Simulations using a Julia-based Solver [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Presenter: David St-Pierre Course Project Presentation (ECSE 6110 Power Engineering Analysis, Fall 2020, RPI) Abstract: The goal of this project was to develop a program to generate power flow solutions using a Julia-based solver for simple textbook and mid-sized grids. The resulting power flow conditions were then used to initialize​ OpenIPSL​ models. The data was then provided to the model implemented in​ OpenIPSL​ and ​Modelica​ to check that the simulation initialization is flat. The motivation for this project was to evaluate the PowerModels library as well as create an alternative solution to one existing within the RPI research group. To accomplish this, an alternative to the existing ​gridcal2rec​ program (GridCal and python-based), developed by an RPI graduate student (Sergio Dorado-Rojas), was re-written using the Julia language and the PowerModels library. Both PowerModels and PowerSystems were considered; however, PowerModels was ultimately selected due to its well-written documentation. A basic understanding of the Julia language was developed and expanded to understanding how to run a power flow simulation using the PowerModels library. A conversion software was then developed to convert existing power flow models to a record model for use with​ Dymola.​ The data created was then tested to initialize the models in​ OpenIPSL.
