AC Power-Flow & N-1 Screening
for the Eastern Interconnect.

Power systems studies that took overnight runs on legacy desktop tools now complete in minutes. PowerOps is a Python-first engine for AC/DC power-flow, N-1 screening, TrLim, and MIC deliverability on the full Eastern Interconnect — 93,447 buses, standard structured outputs.

What It Does

A Full Study Pipeline in One Tool

PowerOps replaces a stack of separate tools with a single Python engine that reads industry-standard RAW network files and produces structured study reports.

AC Power Flow

Full Newton-Raphson solver with FDNS (Fast-Decoupled) acceleration. Tap control, PV→PQ flip, remote regulation, and N-1 auto-fallback. Validated against reference power-flow solvers at transmission scale.

dVm max <0.007 pu · p99 <0.001 pu

N-1 Contingency Screening

Branch violation detection across the full contingency list. BranchViol, VoltViol, and CaseSum reports in structured CSV format.

F1 0.938 · ERCOT 2,220-contingency case

Transfer Limit (TrLim)

Proportional transfer limit study using DC sensitivity (DFAX). Validated against reference solvers on ERCOT 901→904 transfer path.

DFAX median 1.000 · ERCOT 901→904 path

ATC / AFC

Available Transfer Capability end-to-end: TTC − TRM − CBM − ETC. Full pipeline — source area, sink area, and posted path in one command.

Full ATC pipeline · CLI + REST

MIC Deliverability

Batch maximum-deliverable capacity screening for interconnection queues. DC (SCED) + AC verify mode. Full EI in under 50 seconds via HTTP API.

Full EI 48.9 s via HTTP

N-1 Overload Map

Geographic visualization of worst-case contingency loading. Per-contingency drill-down panel, kV filter, and real bus locations on the Eastern Interconnect topology.

345 kV+ · 93,447 bus locations
Workflow

From RAW File to Report

PowerOps plugs into the network model files you already have. No model conversion, no new network build.

01

Load Your Model

Point PowerOps at any v29–v36 RAW network file. Bus, branch, load, generation — parsed automatically with full floating-point fidelity.

powerops serve --study-raw ei_2024.raw
02

Run Studies

AC power-flow, N-1 contingency screen, TrLim, MIC deliverability — each accessible via CLI command or REST API. Chain them in a single script.
