GridLABD
GridLAB-D is an open-source simulation environment for modeling electric power distribution systems and smart grid phenomena. It is designed to analyze the interactions among distribution networks, distributed energy resources, loads, and control systems. The platform supports time-series and event-driven simulations to study dynamic voltage, power flow, and equipment behavior under varying operating conditions.
The software employs a modular, object-oriented modeling language that defines electrical, thermal, and control components as
Key capabilities include modeling complex feeder topologies, dynamic interactions between DERs and loads, and analysis of
GridLAB-D is maintained by an active open-source community and is available through its project website and
