Welcome to PowerGraphics.jl

Overview

PowerGraphics.jl is a Julia package for plotting power-system simulation results. It sits downstream of PowerSimulations.jl and PowerAnalytics.jl: Analytics assembles generation, load, and fuel-category tables; PowerGraphics turns those tables into figures.

Typical entry points:

• plot_demand — demand from an InfrastructureSystems.Results object or a PowerSystems.System
• plot_powerdata / plot_results — generation or other PowerAnalytics.PowerData / dictionary results
• plot_fuel — stacked generation by fuel with an optional load overlay
• plot_dataframe — any time-indexed DataFrames.DataFrame

Plots use CairoMakie by default or PlotlyLight via *_plotly variants. See Change Backends for loading extensions, save_plot, and report. Browse archetypes in the Gallery.

About Sienna

PowerGraphics.jl is part of the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly known as NREL)'s Sienna ecosystem, an open source framework for scheduling problems and dynamic simulations for power systems. The Sienna ecosystem can be found on GitHub. It contains three applications:

• Sienna\Data enables efficient data input, analysis, and transformation
• Sienna\Ops enables system scheduling simulations by formulating and solving optimization problems
• Sienna\Dyn enables system transient analysis including small signal stability and full system dynamic simulations

Each application uses multiple packages in the Julia programming language.
