13. Modeling/Simulation Platform -- OpenDSS
Open source version of EPRI’s Distribution System Simulator
developed in 1997 for advanced distribution analyses
open sourced Nov 2008  SourceForge.net
Utilized for dozens of dist. system consulting studies
Features
full multiphase model
dist. equipment models
meshed and radial ckts
numerous solution modes
“dynamic” power flow (loadshape following)
system controls
flexible load models

EPRI Smart Grid Resource Center - & Use Case Repository
(Coordinating with DOE Smart Grid Clearinghouse – avoiding duplication, maximizing value)
Industry Use Case Repository (135 use cases plus SCE’s is doing a great contribution for the industry)
Publicly available, a HUGE resource for the industry when looking at requirements, opportunity to leverage existing work
Legal Review of Requirements to upload use cases – Complete
Working on Infrastructure to support legal requirements
Smart Grid Calendar of Events (76 smart grid events listed on the calendar for 2009). Great resource for EPRI members
