nopywer

power grid design and analysis tools from geographic data with python and QGIS

This page is the documentation of https://github.com/vfinel/nopywer/

nopywer is a python package that works with QGIS to design 3-phases, islanded power grids using automatic grid design features and analysis tools. Use optimization algorithms to design your grid, then control current flowing into each branch of the grid and compute voltage drop at each node to ensure a safe operation of the grid.

Nopywer has been successfully used to design several power grids, as illustred by the following figure.

alt text Example of a real-case scenario: on this map, houses represent power loads at specific geographic coordinates; their sizes scale with their power needs. In this case, two 3-phases islanded grids were designed to provide power to 61 loads (totalling 195kW) from two generators.

This site will soon be populated with examples and tutorials about how to design power grids yourself, stayed tuned !

Oh, and this is an open source projet: contributions are more than welcome :)
