To get started with pandapower, just
-
Install pandapower through pip:
pip install pandapower -
Create a simple network
import pandapower as pp net = pp.create_empty_network() b1 = pp.create_bus(net, vn_kv=20.) b2 = pp.create_bus(net, vn_kv=20.) pp.create_line(net, from_bus=b1, to_bus=b2, length_km=2.5, std_type="NAYY 4x50 SE") pp.create_ext_grid(net, bus=b1) pp.create_load(net, bus=b2, p_mw=1.) -
Run a power flow:
pp.runpp(net) -
And check the results:
print(net.res_bus.vm_pu) print(net.res_line.loading_percent)
But of course pandapower can do much more than that - find out what on this page!
