At eRoots, we are committed to making energy knowledge more accessible and driving innovation through collaboration. As part of this mission, we partnered with CRESYM, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at delivering open-source energy system simulation tools. This collaboration reflects our philosophy of emphasizing transparency, innovation, and knowledge sharing.
About CRESYM and the Colib Library
CRESYM is at the forefront of open-source development for energy systems, creating a platform that unites industry professionals, academics, and developers to build and validate energy simulation tools. Central to this initiative is the Colib library, a repository for power network component models and test cases, designed to empower stakeholders with reliable resources for energy simulations.
eRoots Contributions
During our collaboration, the eRoots team contributed to the development and documentation of verified power network component models, including:
- Transformer Models: Detailed representations supporting accurate energy flow analysis.
- Capacitor Models: Essential components for voltage regulation and reactive power management.
- Equivalent Line Models: Simplified transmission line representations for computational efficiency.
- Voltage Source Converter (VSC) Models: Advanced models for modern grid applications, enhancing the versatility of simulations.
These contributions are live on the CRESYM website and remain accessible to industry professionals and academics:
