Power Grid Model: A High-Performance Distribution Grid Calculation Library
summary
Power Grid Model is an open‑source C++ calculation engine with a Python API and cross‑platform packages on PyPI and Conda, built for automated, cloud‑scale scenario runs; it supports power flow, state estimation and short‑circuit work in progress, and is deployed in 10+ Alliander applications. Benchmarks show 20–70× faster for symmetric cases and three orders of magnitude faster for asymmetric cases versus pandapower, about 4× faster than OpenDSS, and validation uses 80+ test cases.
