The PowerSystems.jl package provides a rigorous data model using Julia structures to enable power systems analysis and modeling. In addition to stand-alone system analysis tools and data model building, the PowerSystems.jl package is used as the foundational data container for the PowerSimulations.jl and PowerSimulationsDynamics.jl packages. PowerSystems.jl supports a limited number of data file formats for parsing.

Version Advisory

• PowerSystems will work with Julia v1.6+.

Device data enabled in PowerSystems

• Generators (Thermal, Renewable and Hydro)
• Transmission (Lines, and Transformers)
• Active Flow control devices (DC Lines and Phase Shifting Transformers)
• TwoTerminal and Multiterminal HVDC
• Topological elements (Buses, Arcs, Areas)
• Storage (Batteries)
• Load (Static, and Curtailable)
• Services (Reserves, Transfers)
• TimeSeries (Deterministic, Scenarios, Probabilistic)
• Dynamic Generators Models
• Dynamic Inverter Models

For information on using the package and a more extensive list of device data enabled, see the stable documentation. Use the in-development documentation for the version of the documentation which contains the unreleased features.
