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, Contingency analysis, Optimal Power Flow, or Time series simulation.
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.
Contingency analysis
Walk through N-1 contingency screening in Electrisim: take lines, transformers, or generators out of service one at a time, run AC power flow for each case, and review thermal and voltage violations in the results dialog.
Optimal Power Flow (OPF) in Electrisim
Learn how to run optimal power flow in Electrisim with pandapower: set up generation costs, open Simulate → Optimal Power Flow (runopp), and interpret dispatch and constraint results on the diagram.
Time series simulation
Run hour-by-hour AC load flow with time-varying load and generation profiles. Open the built-in tutorial network (New Diagram → Tutorials → Time Series Simulation), define profiles per element, simulate 24 hours, and review charts, statistics, and Excel export. See also the time series documentation.
