About Dynaωo

Dynaωo is an hybrid C++/Modelica open source suite of simulation tools for power systems. It aims at providing power system stakeholders with a transparent, flexible, interoperable and robust suite of simulation tools that could ease collaboration and cooperation in the power system community.

The nature of power system dynamics is deeply evolving towards a more diverse and difficult to predict behavior due to the massive changes going on in the power system (large penetration of power-electronic based components such as Renewable Energies Sources - RES - or High Voltage Direct Current - HVDC - lines, booming use of complex automata, control strategies or smart grids). Due to this radical change from physically-driven to numerically-driven dynamics, being able to assess the system stability becomes harder but is still essential as any generalized incident will be unacceptable for the economy and the consumers. This requires to have access to a transparent, flexible, robust and easy to use suite of simulation tools that will allow to run collaborative studies in a very simple way by sharing not only the same data but also the same modeling and solving choices in an open-source frame. Such tools will ensure to get similar results and to agree upon optimal and shared actions on the system to accompany the ongoing changes in the best possible way. This analysis has motivated us to launch a new effort on simulation tools that finally ends up in the development of the Dynaωo's software.

To achieve this goal, Dynaωo is based on two mains principles: the use of a high-level modeling language Modelica and a strict separation between modeling and solving parts. Modelica is an equation-based, declarative and object-oriented modeling language that is easy to read and understand (the equations are written in a similar way than they are written in textbooks for example) and already used in different and various industrial sectors. Using this language enables to easily share and discuss the modeling choices done because the final models implementation is available in an understandable way, even for the end-user. It is important to mention that Modelica-based tools already exist (Dymola, OpenModelica, JModelica, etc.) but they are not efficient enough for large-scale simulation of power system, which was one of the motivation for Dynaωo. In addition to this, the Modelica language itself has some limitations that are addressed in Dynaωo by the possibility to use C++ models in a similar way than Modelica models. The second important point in Dynaωo is the strict separation between modeler and solvers - it means that the models only expose a few methods to the solvers such as the residual evaluation, the Jacobian evaluation or the zero-crossing functions or in other words that the numerical resolution method doesn't interfere in the modeling part. This feature has several advantages: it enables to easily test or use new solvers, it eases the addition of new model and it allows modeling expert not to bother about numerical difficulties and vice versa.

Dynaωo's primary focus has been on long-term and short-term stability studies but the very encouraging results obtained and the flexibility of the approach led to an extension of the initiative. Dynaωo is now evolving towards a complete and coherent suite of simulation tools, sharing the same philosophy:

  • DynaFlow for steady-state calculations
  • DySym for short-circuit calculations
  • DynaWaltz for long-term stability simulations
  • DynaSwing for short-term stability studies
  • DynaWave for stability studies and system design with a high-penetration of power-electronics based components (quasi-EMT)

High level vision of the Dynaωo initiative

Getting started!

To get started with Dynaωo you have different possibilities, depending on your background and what you want to do:

  • If you are interested in the models available and want to have a quick look to them, please open the Dynaωo Modelica library in OpenModelica for example.
  • If you want to launch simulations and examples with Dynaωo and observe the performances, you can use the pre-built distribution and the examples directory.
  • If you want to checkout the repository and build it yourself to be able to modify the tool, please follow the build instructions available here

All validated models are included into the Dynaωo Modelica library. Don't hesitate to open it in OpenModelica to see what are the available models and simulate the simple full Modelica illustrative examples we provide.

In addition, we also provide an example directory containing validated test cases for DynaFlow, DynaWaltz and DynaSwing. Don't hesitate to simulate them and open the associated documentation.

Installation

Dynaωo Distribution

You can download a pre-built Dynaωo release to start testing it. Pre-built releases are available for Linux and Windows:

If you are on MacOS you can use Docker.

Linux Requirements for Distribution

  • Compilers: C and C++ (gcc or clang), C++11 compatible for C++ standard
  • Python2 or Python3
  • Binary utilities: curl and unzip
  • CMake

Note For Python you need to have the python command available in your PATH. If you don't have one, you can use an environment variable to point to your Python version with export DYNAWO_PYTHON_COMMAND="python3".

You can install the dependencies for Ubuntu or Fedora with:

$> apt install -y g++ unzip curl python
$> dnf install -y gcc-c++ unzip curl python

Windows Requirements for Distribution

On Windows you can either run Dynaωo with distribution models and in this case nothing is required. If you want to be able to add new models you will need:

Note For Python you need to have the python command available in your PATH. If you don't have one you can use an environment variable to point to your Python version with set DYNAWO_PYTHON_COMMAND=python3.

Using a distribution

Linux

You can launch the following commands to download and test the latest distribution:

$> curl -L $(curl -s -L -X GET https://api.github.com/repos/dynawo/dynawo/releases/latest | grep "Dynawo_Linux" | grep url | cut -d '"' -f 4) -o Dynawo_Linux_latest.zip
$> unzip Dynawo_Linux_latest.zip
$> cd dynawo
$> ./dynawo.sh jobs-with-curves sources/examples/DynaWaltz/IEEE14/IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections/IEEE14.jobs
$> ./dynawo.sh help
$> ./dynawo.sh jobs-help

Windows

Download the zip of the distribution and unzip it somewhere. Then open either Command Prompt or x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2019 (to be able to use your own models) and use cd to go into the directory you previously unzipped. You should see a dynawo.cmd file at the top of the folder. You can then launch a simulation with:

> dynawo jobs sources\examples\DynaWaltz\IEEE14\IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections\IEEE14.jobs
> dynawo jobs-with-curves sources\examples\DynaWaltz\IEEE14\IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections\IEEE14.jobs

You can set up the curves to open in your preferred browser with set DYNAWO_BROWSER=C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe for example.

Building requirements

You can build Dynaωo from sources. Dynaωo is available on two platforms Linux and Windows. Linux has been tested on Centos and Debian based distributions, for other distributions don't hesitate to contact us if you run in problems. Only Windows 10 has been tested for Windows. If you are on MacOS we recommend you to use a Docker solution.
If you have any issue building Dynaωo don't hesitate to send us an email with your errors and we will try to answer you back quickly.

In the following we give a list of requirements needed to build Dynaωo and its dependencies.

To build Dynaωo you need to clone this repository and launch the following commands in the source code directory, it will create a myEnvDynawo.sh file that will be your personal entrypoint to launch Dynaωo and parametrise some options.

$> git clone https://github.com/dynawo/dynawo.git dynawo
$> cd dynawo
$> echo '#!/bin/bash
export DYNAWO_HOME=$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)

export DYNAWO_SRC_OPENMODELICA=$DYNAWO_HOME/OpenModelica/Source
export DYNAWO_INSTALL_OPENMODELICA=$DYNAWO_HOME/OpenModelica/Install

export DYNAWO_LOCALE=en_GB
export DYNAWO_RESULTS_SHOW=true
export DYNAWO_BROWSER=firefox

export DYNAWO_NB_PROCESSORS_USED=1

export DYNAWO_BUILD_TYPE=Release

$DYNAWO_HOME/util/envDynawo.sh $@' > myEnvDynawo.sh
$> chmod +x myEnvDynawo.sh
$> ./myEnvDynawo.sh build-user

Below is a description of some environment variables that might be changed in myEnvDynawo.sh:

Variable Description
DYNAWO_BROWSER Default browser command
DYNAWO_NB_PROCESSORS_USED Maximum number of cores to use
DYNAWO_BUILD_TYPE Build type: Release or Debug

Warning: If you're working behind a proxy make sure you have exported the following proxy environment variables

$> export http_proxy=http://login:mdp@proxy_address:proxy_port/
$> export https_proxy=https://login:mdp@proxy_address:proxy_port/
$> export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1
$> export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy;export HTTPS_PROXY=$https_proxy;export NO_PROXY=$no_proxy;

Windows

Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2019 and run the following commands:

> git config --global core.eol lf
> git config --global core.autocrlf input
> set OPENMODELICAHOME=
> set OPENMODELICALIBRARY=
> md dynawo-project && cd dynawo-project
> git clone https://github.com/dynawo/dynawo.git dynawo
> cd dynawo
> cmake -S dynawo/3rdParty -B b-3-p -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../d-3-p -DOPENMODELICA_INSTALL=../OpenModelica/Install -DOPENMODELICA_SRC=../OpenModelica/Source -DOMDEV_HOME=../OMDev -G "NMake Makefiles"
> cmake --build b-3-p
> cmake -S dynawo -B b -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../d-i -DDYNAWO_HOME=.. -DINSTALL_OPENMODELICA=../../OpenModelica/Install -DDYNAWO_THIRD_PARTY_DIR=../../d-3-p -G "NMake Makefiles
> cmake --build b --target install
> cmake --build b --target models
> cmake --build b --target solvers

Warning We try to limit as far as possible the name of the build and install folders (for example d-i instead of dynawo-install or b-3-p for build-3rd-parties) because of Windows limitation of length of path for folders. We know it causes problems and the only solution is to install Dynaωo in a shorter length directory path.

Warning Only the build directories (b and b-3-p) can be located in the dynawo folder, the install (d-i and d-3-p), OMDev and OpenModelica folders should be located outside to avoid problems with CMake.

Codespaces

Github provides a way to build open-source projects in the cloud with its solution Codespaces. If you want to build and test Dynaωo without having to setup a development environment this is the solution. Start your Codespaces on the project and follow those steps:

  1. In the Vscode Terminal of Codespaces launch:
$> ./.vscode/fixForCodespaces.sh && ./.vscode/switchVscodeConfig.sh

  1. Go to Extensions and install C/C++ Extension Pack

  2. Press F1, select CMake: Configurer and select GCC as active kit.

  3. Click on Build at the bottom of the Window. This step will build the all target, building all the 3rd parties needed for Dynaωo.

  4. Once the build is done go back to the Terminal and launch:

$> ./.vscode/switchVscodeConfig.sh

  1. Press F1 and select CMake: Configurer

  2. Select install target and launch Build

  3. Select models target and launch Build

  4. Select solvers target and launch Build

  5. Dynaωo is fully built and you can start testing it or adding your feature !

Launch Dynaωo

Linux

Once you have build Dynaωo you can start launching a simulation with the command:

$> ./myEnvDynawo.sh jobs-with-curves examples/DynaWaltz/IEEE14/IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections/IEEE14.jobs

You can also list all available commands with:

$> ./myEnvDynawo.sh help

We advise you to deploy our autocompletion script to help you with the available commands, it will also set an alias (dynawo) in your bashrc or zshrc to be able to call Dynaωo from anywhere. You can launch one of the two following commands:

$> ./myEnvDynawo.sh deploy-autocompletion --deploy --shell-type bash
$> ./myEnvDynawo.sh deploy-autocompletion --deploy --shell-type zsh

Then you can launch:

$> dynawo help
$> dynawo jobs-with-curves examples/DynaWaltz/IEEE14/IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections/IEEE14.jobs

Windows

Once you have build Dynaωo you can start launching a simulation with the command:

> cd ..\d-i
> dynawo jobs ..\dynawo\examples\DynaWaltz\IEEE14\IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections\IEEE14.jobs
> dynawo jobs-with-curves ..\dynawo\examples\DynaWaltz\IEEE14\IEEE14_GeneratorDisconnections\IEEE14.jobs

You can set up the curves to open in your preferred browser with set DYNAWO_BROWSER=C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe for example. Use also set DYNAWO_PYTHON_COMMAND=python3 for example to setup your python command.
