Build

Finally, use build_system to load your selected system:

sys = build_system(PSISystems, "5_bus_hydro_ed_sys")

Next Steps

Refer to the PowerSystems.jl documentation for how to modify the test system or build your own, and the PowerSimulations.jl and PowerSimulationsDynamics.jl documentation for how to set up and run simulations.
