09:10 - 10:10

Keynote (Session Chair: Mark Stefan)

• Joy El Feghali (RTE), Marco Chiaramello (RTE), “Dynaωo: An Open-Source Suite of Simulation Tools for Power Systems”
  _{Power systems simulations are needed and performed by the system operators to ensure the power system’s security and stability. Nowadays, transmission systems are undergoing significant transformation due to the increasing penetration of power electronic converters (renewable energies and HVDCs) in the power system induced by the energy transition. This transformation impacts the dynamic behavior of the system, which is crucial for stability assessments. Also, a switch from an easy-to-predict and physically-driven system to an unpredictable and numerically-driven system is seen, forcing operators to find complex ways to control it, like advanced special protection schemes. This asks for more collaboration, transparency, and flexibility. Dynaωo aims to answer these challenges and proposes a perspective change with a switch to an opensource approach, to the use of a high-level modeling language (Modelica), and to a strict separation between the modeling and solving parts for more flexibility. Dynaωo is an open-source suite of simulation tools made of a common core, a models library, and a solvers library. By choosing the proper models and solver, it proposes tools for several applications: DynaFlow for steady-state calculations, DySym for short-circuits, DynaWaltz for long-term stability, and DynaSwing for transient stability studies. The suite and illustrative test cases will be presented.}
