Quick Start

For installation instructions see Installation.

See also the Basic Usage examples with executable Jupyter notebooks.

In principle, PyPSA networks can be assigned with

import pypsa
import numpy as np

network = pypsa.Network()

Components like buses can be added with pypsa.Network.add() or pypsa.Network.madd()

#add three buses
n_buses = 3

for i in range(n_buses):
    network.add("Bus", "My bus {}".format(i),  v_nom=20.)

The same counts for lines, generators and loads, see the list of all components Components.

#add three lines in a ring
for i in range(n_buses):
    network.add("Line", "My line {}".format(i),
                bus0="My bus {}".format(i),
                bus1="My bus {}".format((i+1)%3),
                x=0.1,
                r=0.01)

#add a generator at bus 0
network.add("Generator", "My gen",
            bus="My bus 0",
            p_set=100,
            control="PQ")


#add a load at bus 1
network.add("Load", "My load",
            bus="My bus 1",
            p_set=100,
            q_set=100)

Note that fixed values of active and reactive power are set with p_set and q_set respectively. After initializing, there are plenty of options what you can do with your network. The examples section gives a broad overview.
