PowerApps.jl

The PowerApps.jl package provides tools to view and manage systems created with PowerSystems.jl in a web app interface like the one shown here:

Usage

julia> ]add PowerApps

PowerSystems Explorer

This application allows users to browse PowerSystems components and time series data in a web UI via Plotly Dash. Here's how to start it:

julia> using PowerApps
julia> run_system_explorer()
[ Info: Navigate browser to: http://0.0.0.0:8050
[ Info: Listening on: 0.0.0.0:8050

Open your browser to the IP address and port listed. In this case: http://0.0.0.0:8050. The System Explorer app will appear with three tabs:

• System: enter a path to a raw data file or serialized JSON and load the system. Component data can be explored by type, and can be sorted and filtered.
• Time Series: time series data for components selected on the "System" tab can be viewed and visualized
• Maps: a shapefile can be loaded (optional), and nodes (Bus) and Branchs can be plotted. Several configuration options provide opportunities to visualize the geo-spatial data. note: geospatial layouts are significantly more useful when "latitude" and "longitude" is defined in the Bus.ext fields. Without bus coordinates, an automatic layout will be applied
