Introduction

ANDES is a symbolic-numeric tool for power system analysis developed by CURENT. (Source code: GitHub)

ANDES is run with andes command option(s). Please refer to All Commands section for available commands. Next, look up the corresponding section for options.

All Commands

run	Run a simulation routine.
plot	Plot figures from output files.
prepare	Run the symbolic-to-numeric preparation.
misc	Miscellaneous functions.
-v {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}	Logging verbosity. 10-DEBUG, 20-INFO, 30-WARNING, 40-ERROR, 50-CRITICAL.

andes run options

filename	Input file name in relative or absolute path.
-r {tds, eig}	Routine to run. Options are tds (time-domain simulation) and eig (eigenvalue analysis).
-p INPUT_PATH	Search path for cases.
-o OUTPUT_PATH	Path for output files.
--convert [CONVERT]	Convert input files to FORMAT. The default is xlsx.
--profile	Enable Python cProfiler.
-n	Disable all outputs.

andes plot options

filename	One output file name to plot.
x	X-axis variable index. The default is 0 (time).
y	Y-axis variable index (or indices). Supports Python indexing.
-s	Save figure to a PNG file.
-c	Convert to a csv file.
--xmin	X-axis minimum tick XMIN.
--xmax	X-axis maximum tick XMAX.
--ymin	Y-axis minimum tick YMIN.
--ymax	Y-axis maximum tick YMAX.
--dpi	Set figure DPI.
-g	Grid on.
-d	Disable LaTeX.
-n	Disable figure showing.

andes misc options

--save-config	Save configurations to a file.
--edit-config	Edit an existing configuration file.
--clean	Clean all output files.

Basic Command-Line Interface (CLI) Examples

Run power flow for case14.xlsx in the current directory:

andes run case14.xlsx

Run time-domain simulation for case14.xlsx:

andes run case14.xlsx -r tds

Run TDS for case14.xlsx to simulate 40 seconds:

andes run case14.xlsx -r tds --tf 40

Run eigenvalue analysis for case14.xlsx:

andes run case14.xlsx -r eig

Plot TDS variables with indices 2 and 4 against time:

andes plot case14_out.npy 0 2 4

Plot TDS variables with indices 2, 4, ..., 20 against time:

andes plot case14_out.npy 0 2:21:2

Advanced CLI Examples

Save ANDES configuration file to home directory:

andes misc --save

Edit ANDES configuration file in home directory:

andes misc --edit

Batch run power flow for all files with the .xlsx extension:

andes run *.xlsx

Run TDS with verbose outputs for debugging:

andes -v 10 run case14.xlsx -r tds

Run TDS with profiling and print the results:

andes run case14.xlsx -r tds --profile
