Introduction

Thanks for checking out pypowerworld! This project is intended to make interfacing with the PowerWorld API (SimAuto) more intuitive and well-documented. Ideally, inputs and outputs have been created in such a way to let the user explore the possibilities of automating PowerWorld without much prior programming experience.

Background

I developed this tool after working in the power industry and needing to automate my powerflow tasks in PowerWorld. I knew that people could be more efficient and satisfied in their work if they could easily interface with PowerWorld SimAuto. So, I took my existing code and modified it slightly to create a more universal package for others. I did the same thing with PSS/E (feel free to check it out at https://github.com/jessemarkboyd/pypsse).

Contributing

I have published this because I think it would be helpful to beginners to expedite scripting PowerWorld with Python. I also think it could be helpful to the more advanced to have a standard package for their programs. But I understand there are much better programmers out there than me. Your contributions are appreciated and needed! More complex functionality is welcome, but the goal is to allow no analysis which requires assumptions beyond those of the normal PowerWorld functions. Thank you!
