PowerModelsDistributionRDT

Documentation	Build Status

This package combines various packages in the InfrastructureModels.jl optimization library ecosystem, particularly those related to electric power distribution.

PowerModelsDistributionRDT focuses on optimal design of phase unbalanced (multiconductor) distribution feeders, primarily for meeting resilience metrics. Phase unbalanced modeling is achieved using PowerModelsDistribution. This library features a custom implementation of network design for resilience. See documentation for more details.

Installation

To install PowerModelsDistributionRDT, use the built-in Julia package manager

pkg> add PowerModelsDistributionRDT

Or, equivalently, via the Pkg API:

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("PowerModelsDistributionRDT")

or to develop the package,

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.develop(Pkg.PackageSpec(; name="PowerModelsDistributionRDT", url="https://github.com/lanl-ansi/PowerModelsDistributionRDT.jl"))
