pandapower for designing a buildings electrical system?

[jgunstone]

hi there,

great library -

it looks like the focus and documentation is on larger scale electrical distribution systems.

Are there any examples of it being applied to a smaller network like a buildings electrical network?
I guess something like this:
https://pandapower.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networks/test.html
(answering my own Q!)

comparing a elec schematic for a very simple site:

but I'm interested to know if others have used it in this way / people think that would be a good fit?
also wonder if pandapower can be used for cable sizing? couldn't spot that in the docs...

many thanks

For modelling smaller electrical distribution systems. Uses pandapower as backend.

@jgunstone , I think you can use it to model building systems. We have done something similar.
Cable Sizing, what exactly do you think about? You could create your own cable type and try adapting the parameters.
Or you could oversize the cables and down size them, according to their loading_percent.
