Minpower

Minpower is an open source toolkit for students and researchers in power systems. It is designed to make working with ED, OPF, and UC problems simple and intuitive. The goal is to foster collaboration with other researchers and to make learning easier for students.

To solve a problem:

minpower mycommitment/

Installation:

• pip install minpower

• use with your favorite solver

Minpower creates great visualizations too, like this one for UC:

Some recent talks and publications:

• paper preprint for PES2012

• a talk at Alstom-Grid

• an introduction for the Wind Integration Research Lab
