Power System Model (Detailed)¶
This section provides a detailed explanation on how to define the power system models in GUILDA. As mentioned in the previous page, GUILDA can use the two predefined networks (i.e., 3-bus and 68-bus), as well as new defined ones. The objective of this section is to define a new network.
In GUILDA, the power system model is handled in the following manner:
- Stored in properties by using classes.
- Analyzed by modularized process as methods.
The class that implements this power system model is defined in GUILDA with the class name power_network. In the following explanations, the variable that stores this power_network class will be refered to as net in the code explanations.
For further information on the details of the power_network class, please refer to the Source Code Explanation page.

Predefined Power System Models¶
To define the power system model to be used as one of the predefined in GUILDA use the following codes.
%Predefined Power System Models.
net = network_sample3bus; %Load the predefined 3-bus system model.
net = network_IEEE68bus; %Load the predefined 68-bus system model.
The way it works is that these commands call a function file that contains a series of instructions to define an already defined power system model (i.e., 3-bus or 68-bus).
New Power System Model¶
In this section it is explained how to create a new power system model and define it as the power_network class.
In GUILDA, a power system model is composed of
- Buses (Interconnection points)
- Branches (Transmission Lines)
- Components
- Generators
- Loads
Currently, GUILDA implements the classes generator_1axis for Generators and load_impedance for Loads. These classes are the ones used to define the new power system model in this explanation (Click on the illustration ↓).
New Components¶
In the previous section, a new power system model was defined using only the already implemented components in GUILDA (i.e., generator_1axis and load_impedance).
In this section it is explained how to implement a new equipment model with new dynamic characteristics (Click on the illustration ↓).
