To get started with pandapower, just

  1. Install pandapower through pip:

     pip install pandapower
    
  2. Create a simple network

     import pandapower as pp
     net = pp.create_empty_network() 
     b1 = pp.create_bus(net, vn_kv=20.)
     b2 = pp.create_bus(net, vn_kv=20.)
     pp.create_line(net, from_bus=b1, to_bus=b2, length_km=2.5, std_type="NAYY 4x50 SE")   
     pp.create_ext_grid(net, bus=b1)
     pp.create_load(net, bus=b2, p_mw=1.)
    
  3. Run a power flow:

     pp.runpp(net)
    
  4. And check the results:

     print(net.res_bus.vm_pu)
     print(net.res_line.loading_percent)
    

But of course pandapower can do much more than that - find out what on this page!
