1. POWSYBL “Power System Blocks”
Jean-Baptiste Heyberger, R&D team manager, RTE
Demo by: Sébastien Murgey, R&D developer, RTE

2. Outlines
A high-performance and modular computing framework for power system simulations and analytics, for horizons from real-time operation to investment planning
Java based
Pooled components that are assembled to form tailor-made tools addressing a diverse and scalable range of needs
An industrial strength application

3. Power flow computation
Main features
Modular approach
CGMES importer/exporter implementation
CGMES is a standard for TSO data exchanges in Europe
It is challenging to converge on a common understanding of specifications
Push a “code first approach” to speed up the implementation of new features
POWSYBL:
Import CGMES data
Power flow computation
Display results (UI)
MY NEW TOOL:

4. Main features Scalable data management system (NoSQL Cassandra)
High Performance Computing capability
Computation module integration
Scalable data management system (NoSQL Cassandra)
Workflows management on HPC clusters (Slurm, MPI)
High scalability tested on a core platform
Open APIs to interface computation modules
Power flows
Optimizers
Time domain simulation

5. Conclusion RTE is already using POWSYBL-based tools in operations
The modularity and industrial strength of the software opens up opportunities of collaboration to get more done, faster
Join us for a live demo at lunch break
