An open source power system analysis toolbox

Abstract

Summary form only given. This paper describes the power system analysis toolbox (PSAT), an open source Matlab and GNU/Octave-based software package for analysis and design of small to medium size electric power systems. PSAT includes power flow, continuation power flow, optimal power flow, small signal stability analysis and time domain simulation as well as several static and dynamic models, including non-conventional loads, synchronous and synchronous machines, regulators and FACTS. PSAT is also provided with a complete set of user-friendly graphical interfaces and a Simulink-based editor of one-line network diagrams. Basic features, algorithms and a variety of case studies are presented in this paper to illustrate the capabilities of the presented tool and its suitability for educational and research purposes
