opfpy-papers

made-with-python GitHub license

A collection of tutorials and implementations of important algorithms in the field of control and optimization of power systems.

Each tutorial and implementation is provided as a Python Notebook, with references to the original publication, and can be directly open in Google Colab.

A full list of current implementations is provided here.

Project Motivation

The fields of power system control and optimization is known for having a steep learning curve, especially for undergraduate students. Generally speaking, it often requires a strong background in:

  • electrical circuit theory
  • power system analysis
  • linear algebra
  • linear and nonlinear optimization

As someone who taught himself a lot of this material, I found an important lack of online resources (tutorials, public implementations, blog articles, etc.) compared to other currently popular fields (e.g., Machine Learning). I hope this project will contribute to bridging that gap.

Who can opfpy-papers be useful for?

I am a strong advocate of reproducing previous works from the literature to get a better understanding of a research field.

This repository is my attempt at learning about control and optimization in power systems, with a hands-on attitude, going in chronological order from the first important papers to today's research.

I believe opfpy-papers can be useful for anyone looking to:

  • Start learning about power systems.
  • Get a better understanding of the core papers that have shapped the field as it is today.
  • Save time by not having to re-implement previous works.
  • Start using Python for modelling power systems (Python > MATLAB!).

Contributing

I try to add new implementations regularly, but contributions are more than welcome!

I also keep a list of papers that I would like to implement in the future here. If you would like to implement any of those, or propose a non-listed paper, feel free to email me at robin@robinxhenry.com. Alternatively, you can also submit a Pull request.

These paper implementations are classified into different categories and then organized in chronological order.
