GenSAS

GenSAS is a C++ based generalized simulation tool based on semi-analytical solutions (SAS) technology. It provides two modules:

  1. ModelicaSAS is a SAS-based simulation tool that supports Modelica modeling language. Currently it supports simulation of single Modelica model.

  2. PowerSAS is a robust, efficient and scalable power grid analysis framework based on semi-analytical solutions (SAS) technology. This is the version for C++ users. It currently provides AC power flow functionality.

Backed by the SAS approach, the GenSAS tool provides much better convergence than the tools using traditional Newton-type equation solvers. Moreover, due to the analytical nature, GenSAS provides model-adaptive high-accuracy approximation, which brings significantly extended effective range for power grid analysis. PowerSAS has been used to solve large-scale system cases with 200,000+ buses.
