Python - Alternative Tool for Calculating Electric Power Modes of IPS

The paper provides a summary of approaches to the calculation of electric power modes and describes the actual of the topic under consideration. The paper contains a calculation of two identical electric power modes with one network configuration. The calculation was carried out in two different software: the RastrWin3 software and Python. Modeling and calculation were carried out in order to demonstrate the possibility of calculating the electric power mode in a programming language with dynamic strong typing. The reference calculation of electric power modes was performed in the RastrWin3 software. The results obtained were exported to Python and a similar calculation was performed. The iterative calculation of the electric power mode was performed in RastrWin3 software and Python environment by Newton's method. Python has extensions that allow approaching the analysis of electrical power mode in more detail. The result of modeling the power system and calculating its electric power mode is shown a high accuracy of reproducing the calculation in the Python environment. The identity of the calculation and the insignificant difference in the numerical results suggests that Python can be used as an alternative tool for calculating the electric power modes of any power system.
