External Solvers and Software:

The iPSL library has been developed as a Modelica library, no external software packages are provided in this repository.

Power Flow Solvers / Software:

There is no power flow solver associated to the library. When building a use case, initialization of all variables must be performed with a power flow software. The users are free to choose their power flow software of choice.

Please note that during the development of the library, the power flow software used corresponds to that of the reference model, for example, for models coming from PSAT, we created the same power system model in PSAT and in Modelica using our library. The power flow solution from PSAT then was introduced into the corresponding "power flow solution parameters" corresponding to each model.

Within the iTesla Toolbox (i.e. the whole platform), there are different power flow tools implemented and also an "Automatic Translator" that takes a file with the parameters of a model (as defined by a domain specific tool) and populates the power flow parameters of the models. Therefore, there was no need to develop a power flow solver.

Running Time-Domain Simulations:

There is no Modelica-compliant tool provided to run the time domain simulations. Users of the iPSL are free to choose their tool of choice.

Please note that the development of iPSL has been carried out using OpenModelica and Dymola, therefore, it might be possible to face issues when using other Modelica tools that we have not fully tested.
