Library Structure

The NPSS Power Systems Library contains contains a set of power system and circuit components, a set of fundamental tools and classes designed to enable creating and analyzing power system models, and a suite of example models using the library tools. Refer to the following sections of this documentation for more information about these items:

• Fundamental Classes and Components
• Modeling Components
• Examples

File Structure

The file structure of the library is as follows:

• include

  • Files to be included by preprocessor directives (i.e. #include), such as performance maps, design scaler initial guesses, etc.

• model

  • NPSS model definition files to be used with the examples.

• output

  • Folder where viewer output and comma separated value (CSV) files are written by the examples.

• run

  • Example model entry points, each representing a study performed on a given model.

• src

  • Source code for power system, circuit, thermal management, and other components.

• utils

  • Various NPSS and Python software utilities, including input, output, and plotting functions.

• view

  • NPSS viewer source files, with features designed for the power system components in this library.
