EGSim - a C++ Toolkit for Analysis of Power Grid Systems
We describe the load flow formulation and the solution algorithms available in the Electric power Grid Simulator (EGSim) software toolkit. EGSim contains tools aimed at simulating static load flow solutions for electric power grids. It parses power grid models described in IEEE Common Data Format, and generates solutions for the bus voltages and voltage angles, and real and reactive power values through the transmission lines. The software, written in C++, implements both Gauss-Seidel and Newton solution methods. Example results for the 118 bus models and 300 bus models are also presented.
