SIaD Tool

Welcome to the Stability and Interactions assessment in the frequency-Domain (SIaD) tool for modern power system applications. This free-access, multi-platform tool is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Python/PSCAD environments.

The SIaD Tool has been developed as part of the MSCA-ADOreD project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 101073554.

⚙️ Installation

For Python/PSCAD:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/luisangelgare/FD-Scanning-Tool.git

2. Copy and use the "Frequency Domain Scanner" component in your PSCAD project:

   • Open your PSCAD canvas.
   • Use Paste Special > Paste Transfer to insert the component into your main project.

3. Place the FDScanningTool.py file in the same directory as your PSCAD project and follow the parameter and initialization instructions provided in the file.

4. Refer to the examples included in the repository for detailed usage instructions.

5. For the moment, just voltage perturbation and single-tone strategy is available in PSCAD.

For MATLAB/Simulink:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/luisangelgare/FD-Scanning-Tool.git

2. Copy the "Frequency Domain Scanner" block to your Simulink workspace:

   • Add the powergui block to your Simulink model.
   • Configure the step time and simulation time in the Configuration Parameters.
   • Set the solver to Ode1.
   • Enable Accelerator Mode in the simulation settings.

3. Copy and follow the parameter settings of the exe_FDScanningTool.m program into your project directory.

4. Refer to the Manual_V3_SIaD-Tool.pdf for the details about the configuration and installation process.

Examples will be available soon!

🚨 Important Advice

Recommended to Use first the MATLAB version in order to understand the operating steps of the tool.
