Power Systems on Modelica (PSM)

Modelica-based tool for power system dynamic simulation.

The software enables users to transform power system networks from CIM format to Modelica using dynamic models from the iTesla Modelica power system library iPSL.

Modules from powsybl core are used in the project.

Please refer to the user guide (doc/PSMuserguideV1.0.0.docx), for detailed usage information.

Environment requirements

To build PSM you need:

  • JDK (1.8 or greater)
  • Maven

To run PSM you need a modelica based simulator (either OpenModelica or Dymola). You might also need a loadflow engine (PSM has been designed to work with two alternative loadflow engines: HELM and Hades2; it is also possible to deactivate the loadflow computation).

The steps below describe the procedure to build and install PSM, with Hades2 and openmodelica, on a CentOS7 machine.

OpenModelica + Hades2LF on CentOS7, installation scenario

1 - Hades2LF

Linux binaries for Hades Load-Flow can be downloaded from: http://www.rte.itesla-pst.org Hades2 is assumed to be already installed in $HOME/hades2LF

2 - OpenModelica

To install OpenModelica v1.11, on CentOS7: ( installation information for multiple platforms here: https://openmodelica.org/download/download-linux )

2.1 - install OpenModelica repository and v.11 package
sudo wget https://build.openmodelica.org/rpm/el7/omc.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/omc.repo
sudo yum install openmodelica-1.11

OpenModelica will be installed in /opt/opt/openmodelica-1.11

2.2 - build and install OpenModelica java integration .jar (i.e. modelica_java.jar, not included in the OpenModelica binaries distribution, nor available from any maven repositories)
mkdir $HOME/Projects
cd $HOME/Projects
git clone https://github.com/OpenModelica/OMJava
cp /opt/openmodelica-1.11/share/omc/java/antlr-3.2.jar  ./OMJava/3rdParty/antlr
cd $HOME/Projects/OMJava
make
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=./modelica_java.jar -DgroupId=org.openmodelica -DartifactId=modelica_java -Dversion=1.11.0 -Dpackaging=jar

3 - PSM

3.1 - Clone the PSM repository
cd $HOME/Projects
git clone https://github.com/itesla/psm.git
cd $HOME/Projects/psm
3.2 - Build PSM, including module openmodelica-integration, and run unit tests (using maven wrapper script mvnw in project folder)
cd $HOME/Projects/psm
mvwm clean install -P openmodelica
3.3 - build PSM distribution
./scripts/dist/prepare_dist.sh dist
3.4 - install PSM distribution to $HOME/psm
unzip psm-dist.zip -d $HOME/psm
unzip psm-dist-validation_data.zip -d $HOME/psm
3.5 - install Hades2 binaries&jars to the PSM installation
cp -r $HOME/hades2LF/* $HOME/psm/hades2LF
cp $HOME/psm/hades2LF/share/java/*.jar $HOME/psm/lib
3.6 - Set the environment variable OPENMODELICA (needed to run PSM with OpenModelica):
export OPENMODELICAHOME=/opt/openmodelica-1.11

(appending the export statement to the $HOME/.bashrc file could be a good idea)

Execute PSM (GUI version)

cd $HOME/psm
./psmgui

Execute PSM (command line version)

cd $HOME/psm
./psm

Additional information

HELM Flow integration

To use the HELM loadflow engine, HELM Flow integration libraries should be installed in the local maven repository from given jars.

See script install_helmflow_integration_libs.

helmflow binary must be in the current PATH. HELM loadflow integration libraries should also be copied to $HOME/psm/lib.

Dymola integration

The Dymola interface private library must be installed in the local maven repository, to be able to build PSM with Dymola support

See script install_dymola_libs

A Web Service connection is used to connect the PSM tool to Dymola service (exposed by dymola-integration-service module). If this service is running in an external machine, some changes should be made in the client side (module dymola-integration).

In the file dymservice.wsdl, the address location should point to the IP of the machine where the Dymola service is running.

<service name="SimulatorServerImplService">
	<port name="SimulatorServerImplPort" binding="tns:SimulatorServerImplPortBinding">
		<soap:address location="http://<IP of the machine where Dymola service is running>:8888/dymservice"></soap:address>
	</port>
</service>

Dymola related modules are by default disabled (Dymola private libraries are required). To enable them, uncomment these modules, in pom.xml dymola-integration-service dymola-integration-service-wardep

Tests

Currently some tests are skipped in the maven build wrapper because not all tools are expected to be available (e.g. Dymola and OpenModelica). Tests in dymola-integration and modelica-parser modules, and individual tests for Loadflow are skipped using:

-DskipTest.regex="(dymola-integration|openmodelica-integration)"
-Dtest='*,!LoadFlowTest'

These tests can be activated locally just removing these options from maven wrapper script.

Eclipse

Eclipse projects can be recreated by importing checkout folders for PSM as maven projects.

If eclipse build fails with the error:

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration

For the maven helper build plugin that allows to bypass tests for some modules, and that does not affect the maven build from the command line, one way to fix it is to:

  • Inside eclipse, go to Window > Preferences > Maven > Errors/Warnings.
  • Select "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration".
  • Select Ignore / Warning as you wish.

This is a clean way to get rid of the error, as no modification is needed in the parent pom.xml.
