Meltran is an administrator and key contributor for several open-source software projects related to electric power systems:
EMTHub, a standards-based model building and validation for electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies of electric power systems, with a focus on inverter-based resources (IBR), e.g., wind, solar, and storage.
GridHub, analytical tools for understanding the electric grid integration of inverter-based resources.
PECBlocks, for generalized block diagram modeling of inverter-based resources.
IEEE Flash, for estimating lightning flashover rates on overhead transmission and distribution lines.
OpenETran, an electromagnetic transients program customized for lightning surges and substation insulation coordination.
KLUSolve, a sparse matrix solver for electric power systems, based on the KLU library from University of Florida.
OpenDSS, an electric power Distribution System Simulator (DSS) for supporting distributed resource integration and grid modernization efforts.
py_dss_interface, with Linux and Mac OS X support of a Python interface to EPRI’s official OpenDSS.
Some other useful open-source tools are:
MATPOWER and MOST, for modeling and optimizing bulk electric systems.
CIMHub, for CIM-based modeling of electric power distribution networks. (Past contributor)
GridLAB-D, for modeling of electric power distribution networks with weather, houses, and end-use loads. (Past contributor)
TESP, for simulating transactive energy systems. (Past contributor)
i2X, test cases and scripts for the DOE Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange project. (Past contributor)
EMT Bootcamp, examples and presentations for the NERC/i2X bootcamp in EMT studies for IBR.(Past contributor)
dpvprot, protection of distribution systems with large amounts of distributed photovoltaic generation, using time-domain distance relay functions. (Past contributor)
