good

Good software

  • Easy to maintain
  • Easy to add features
  • Easy to fix bugs
  • Stable environment
  • Easy to set up

INDUSCON 2018 - November 12th - 14th - São Paulo

"Open Source Implementations of Electromagnetic Transient Algorithms "

  • => Programming language
  • => Access to the code

 THTA

Dommel's algorithm + Matlab/Octave + Open Source => High chances to become a good software!

PyTHTA Stages

  1. Replicate the basic THTA features

Importing the file

self.df = pd.read_csv('test.csv', header=None)

For this initial step, we shall use the .csv format

"Open Source Implementations of Electromagnetic Transient Algorithms "

PyTHTA Stages

  1. Replicate the basic THTA features

Calculate the condutance and map elements

for index, row in self.elements.iterrows():
      if row[0] == 'R':
        resistor = Resistor(row[3])
        self.gkm[index-1] = 1/resistor.value
        self.nh = self.nh + 1
      elif row[0] == 'C':
        capacitor = Capacitor((row[3]*1e-6))
        self.gkm[index-1] = 2*capacitor.value/self.dt
        self.nh = self.nh + 1
      elif row[0] == 'L':
        inductor = Inductor((row[3]*1e-3))
        self.gkm[index-1] = self.dt/(2*inductor.value)
      elif row[0] == 'EDC':
        self.ndcvs = self.ndcvs + 1

PyTHTA Stages

  1. Replicate the basic THTA features

Build the G matrix

self.g_matrix = np.zeros((self.elements.shape[0], self.elements.shape[0]))
    for index, row in self.elements.iterrows():
      k = row[1]
      m = row[2]
      if m == 0:
        self.g_matrix[k,k] = self.g_matrix[k,k] + self.gkm[index-1]
      elif k == 0:
        self.g_matrix[m,m] = self.g_matrix[m,m] + self.gkm[index-1]
      else:
        self.g_matrix[k,k] = self.g_matrix[k,k] + self.gkm[index-1]
        self.g_matrix[m,m] = self.g_matrix[m,m] + self.gkm[index-1]
        self.g_matrix[k,m] = self.g_matrix[k,m] + self.gkm[index-1]
