Electrisim Tutorials
Short, focused videos and written walkthroughs for modeling, simulation, and analysis in Electrisim—pick a topic below or skim the playlist on YouTube @Electrisim.
New here? Start with Getting started, then follow First circuit & load flow. Use the shortcuts to jump straight to PQ diagrams, transformer tap control, shunt reactor tap changers, or the written Optimal Power Flow walkthrough with the pandapower opf_basic model.
Getting Started with Electrisim
Learn the basics of using Electrisim for power system analysis. This tutorial covers the essential features and how to create your first power system model.
Create your first circuit, run load flow, and read results
Step-by-step: build a simple network in the diagram editor, run a load-flow study, and interpret bus voltages and line loading in Electrisim.
Reactive power capability (PQ diagram)
Run reactive power capability analysis in Electrisim: PQ diagrams at the PCC, grid-code overlays, and how to interpret results for connection studies.
Discrete tap control in load flow (Pandapower)
Walkthrough: enabling DiscreteTapControl on transformers, using Include controller in the Pandapower load-flow dialog, and reading resulting tap positions on the diagram and in exports.
Control shunt reactor tap changer
See how to model and operate shunt reactor tap control in Electrisim—useful when you need discrete steps on reactive compensation equipment as part of your load-flow setup.
Optimal Power Flow (OPF) in Electrisim — pandapower tutorial model
Import the four-bus pandapower opf_basic.ipynb network from a downloadable .py script, then run Simulate → Optimal Power Flow (runopp). The guide covers import, generation costs (poly_cost), and matching the notebook’s solver tolerance.
