PowerModels.jl is a Julia/JuMP package for Steady-State Power Network Optimization. It is designed to enable computational evaluation of emerging power network formulations and algorithms in a common platform. The code is engineered to decouple problem specifications (e.g. Power Flow, Optimal Power Flow, ...) from the power network formulations (e.g. AC, DC-approximation, SOC-relaxation, ...). This enables the definition of a wide variety of power network formulations and their comparison on common problem specifications.
Core Problem Specifications
- Power Flow (pf)
- Optimal Power Flow (opf)
- Optimal Transmission Switching (ots)
- Transmission Network Expansion Planning (tnep)
Core Network Formulations
- AC (polar coordinates)
- DC Approximation (polar coordinates)
- SOC Relaxation (W-space)
- QC Relaxation (W+L-space)
Network Data Formats
- Matpower ".m" files
