New Landscape Entry - Interactive Power Flow (IPF)

[mbheinen]

Project Name

Interactive Power Flow (IPF)

Description

Interactive Power Flow (IPF) is a software package for doing power flow studies. IPF models the operation of a bulk electric power network. IPF was developed by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and its contractors in the 1990s with about 20% of the cost supported by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). By mutual agreement, as described in EPRI Agreement RP2746-03 entitled Graphical User Interface for Powerflow, March, 1992,

“all results of this project–including the computer program and its documentation–are to be in the public domain.”

While not a modern tool (written in Fortran and uses X Window for displays/UI), it can still be used for benchmarking new power flow engines and transient stability analysis tools.

Category is really "Energy Systems - Modeling and Simulation" but non of dropdown categories really fit that so I just put "Asset Management - Analytics" even though IPF really isn't that

Thank you, @mbheinen! Look at the entry below and let me know if this looks correct.

Note we added the project name to the logo; this is a general standard for the landscape to help people better identify the project in the logo view.

I've also update the form to have the new correct categories in place - thank you for alerting me to that!

Logo looks good. IPF has never had a logo so I just made one up and I figured I wanted to use *something *from the original project by Bonneville so I went with the only icon like image I could find which was on this "bus" display https://bpa-ipf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic/x_window_gui.html#ac-bus-input-data-boxes .
