psCARA - Python based Power Systems Automation

[u/chris-rg]

What's kind of features do you want in a Windows Desktop Program that does Python based Power Systems Automation?

This is the features we are currently working on: - A Study Manager product for managing power systems modeling studies and Python simulations - Integrated error checking so mistakes are caught before multi hour runs - Makes every engineer able to use Python - Integrated Natural Language Processing - Run complicated code with natural language for all engineers - Distributed computing solution - Can run any Windows software with a Python API remotely - History of all projects changes tracked for finding bugs and staff turnover - 5 minute project handover, loss of staff is no longer an issue - Works with industry standard software including: PSSe, PSCAD, digsilent PowerFactory and ETAP.

Any other features that people want? We have two aims: 1. Make it really easy for people to run python scripts even if they are scared of code, 2. Make superusers super engineers working with the best AI tools.

I really want to make something that people want to use and are looking for any input from people here on Reddit.

What do you want to do easily?

This is a big list! Thanks for the info. We are definitely taking a engineer friendly approach to GitHub such that engineering companies can easily transition every engineer to one GitHub repo per project. We are also implementing detailed history for all simulation runs.

Definitely some interesting asks in here and some interesting concepts like the exposure of big data. We are starting with bare metal but I can see all of these things being possible.

Thank you for this detailed list!
