# GridPACK: High-Performance Electric Grid Simulation



GridPACK is an open-source high-performance (HPC) package for simulation of large-scale electrical grids. Powered by distributed (parallel) computing and high-performance numerical solvers, GridPACK offers several applications forfast simulation of electrical transmission systems. GridPACK includes a number of prebuilt applications that can be directly used. The most commonly used and well-developed are:

- AC Power Flow

- Dynamics Simulation

- Contingency Analysis



Other applications under development or not full featured are

- Dynamic security assessment

- State estimation



In addition, GridPACK is also a framework to simplify the development of new applications on HPC platforms. To ease the development, GridPACK offers several building blocks such as setting up and distributing (partitioning) power grid networks, support for custom components on buses and branches, converting the network models to the corresponding algebraic equations, parallel routines for manipulating and solving large algebraic systems, and input and output modules as well as basic profiling and error management. GridPACK is written in C++ with python wrappers available.
