GElectrical is a free and opensource electrical system analysis software for LV/MV electrical distribution networks. Following features are currently implemented.
* Schematic capture.
* Pandapower network generation from schematic.
* Power flow time series analysis (Symmetric and Assymetric).
* Power flow with diversity factors (Symmetric and Assymetric).
* Voltage drop analysis.
* Short circuit analysis (Symmetric and SLG).
* Coordination analysis for power supply protection devices with support for CB and fuse protection curves; damage curves for transformers, cables and motors.
* Support for daily load curves for load elements.
* Support for arriving network parameters for custom geometry OH lines.
* Support for modeling networks with mixed TN-S/ TN-C/ TT/ IT earthing systems.
* Electrical rules check for checking conformity with IEC/ local electrical guidelines.
* Print and export of drawings to pdf.
* Generation of analysis reports.
GElectrical uses pandapower as the backend for implementing power flow related functionality like voltage drop and short circuit analysis.
> **Please note that the program is in active development and bugs are expected. Cross checking of generated calculations is reccomended. See [Roadmap](https://github.com/manuvarkey/GElectrical/issues/1) for current limitations.**

## Installation
Application can be installed for use on your OS as described below.
> It is reccomended to install `osifont` for schematic capture. This can be downloaded from [https://github.com/hikikomori82/osifont/blob/master/osifont.ttf](https://github.com/hikikomori82/osifont/blob/master/osifont.ttf).
### Binary
#### Windows
Use `.EXE` installation package available under the latest [Release](https://github.com/manuvarkey/GElectrical/releases/latest).
#### Linux
Application is published on `Flathub` repository at [GElectrical](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.kavilgroup.gelectrical).
It should be possible to install the application using the default package manager on most linux systems if flathub is setup. Please see [https://flatpak.org/setup/](https://flatpak.org/setup/) to setup flahub for your linux distribution.
### Source
#### Linux
* Install GTK3 from your distribution package manager.
* Run `pip install appdirs pycairo numpy numba scipy pandas mako networkx matplotlib pandapower jinja2 weasyprint openpyxl shapely`.
* Clone this repository `git clone https://github.com/manuvarkey/GElectrical.git`
* Run `gelectrical_launcher.py` from cloned directory.
#### Windows
* Install `git`, `msys2`, `visualstudio2022-workload-vctools` and `gvs_build` by folowing this link [gvsbuild](https://github.com/wingtk/gvsbuild).
* Setup GTK3 and PyGObject development envirnonment using `gvs_build` by running `gvsbuild build --enable-gi --py-wheel gtk3 pygobject adwaita-icon-theme`.
* Add required environment variables as suggested in the above link. Please see [Create and Modify Environment Variables on Windows](https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/machine-learning/oml4r/1.5.1/oread/creating-and-modifying-environment-variables-on-windows.html) for more information about setting up environment varables.
* Run `pip install appdirs pycairo numpy numba scipy pandas mako networkx matplotlib pandapower jinja2 weasyprint openpyxl shapely` in powershell.
* Clone this repository using `git clone https://github.com/manuvarkey/GElectrical.git`.
* Run `python gelectrical_launcher.py` from the cloned directory.
