An open source platform for collaborating on smart grid research
Abstract
An open-source distribution system simulator has been developed for distributed resource planning, harmonic studies, neutral-earth voltage studies, volt-var control studies, and other special applications. The software includes several means of interfacing user code, including compiled dynamic link library, COM automation, and text scripting. Co-simulation interfaces are under development for interfacing with proprietary vendor-supplied models, and communication system overlays. The simulator, called OpenDSS, has been used to conduct several smart grid research projects, including advanced automation, electric vehicle penetration, state estimation, and green circuits. The software architecture and solution methods are described, in the effort to foster more collaborative research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
