Infrastructure Systems#
This package implements a data store for components and time series in support of Python-based modeling packages. While it is designed to support teams modeling transmission and distribution systems for electrical grids, it can be used by any package that needs to store components (e.g., generators and buses) that have quantities (e.g., power and voltage) which may vary over time.
Features#
Stores components in data structures that provide fast lookup and iteration by type and name.
Provides extendable data models that enable validation and unit conversion through pint.
Manages time series data efficiently. Data is only loaded into system memory when needed by the user application.
Manages serialization and de-serialization of components to JSON, including automatic handling of nested objects.
Enables data model migration.
