Through the 190’s it became apparent that engineers were going to have to include more than the radial MV feeders to get the right answer . The sub-transmission (HV) system was added\, requiring a meshed system s olver – so we adapted methods from a harmonics solver capable of modelin g very detailed multiphase power systems. Then we learned that the answer was still no right: the load and generation had to move to account for the coincidence between them. Static power flows gave way to 8760-hour simula tion. EPRI made the program open source in 2008 to make its features avail able to many more researchers and to train the next generation of distribu tion engineers. In the last 15 year\, there have been over 160\,000 downlo ads worldwide. There are no doubt thousands of BS\, MS\, and Ph.D. student s whose projects have been made possible by Open DSS.\n\nMany features hav e been added including built-in parallel processing and other support for modern computing architectures. Moving forward\, there will be more emphas is on such things as dynamics for microgrid simulations\, modern DER and g rid conditioning devices\, advanced protection/coordination capabilities a nd better means of accommodating user customization. A tighter connection to the popular Python language and more cross-platform implementations are quite likely.\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nRoger Dugan is a Sr. Technical Executive with EPRI in Knoxville\, Tennessee USA. He has over 50 years of combined e xperience in distribution engineering with EPRI\, Electrotek Concepts\, an d Cooper Power Systems. Roger has worked on many diverse aspects of power engineering over his career because of his interests in applying computer methods to power system simulation. He was elected a Fellow of the IEEE fo r his contributions in the development of computer simulation methods for harmonics and transient analysis. Recently\, he has been very active in di stributed generation\, particularly as it applies to utility distribution systems and distribution system analysis. He is a coauthor of Electrical P ower Systems Quality published by McGraw-Hill\, now in its 3rd edition. He serves on the IEEE PES Distribution System Analysis Subcommittee and the Distribution Test Feeders WG.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m /378363 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/378363 ORGANIZER:akankshawankhade@ieee.org SEQUENCE:19 SUMMARY:OpenDSS: Where it came from and where it is going URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/378363 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>LINK TO REGISTER</strong></p>\n<ul >\n<li><a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https% 3A%2F%2Fsecure-web.cisco.com%2F1vAiVhHXuo-NahiLea4c1oaTaoejhWTZf0C3QePLSYi JeuFcAIPXUVl6y3wuyPBo6zu5zZ7DIqLem2YiHoZ17Pktvtr8_OlNK6S1PLS-JYBc2r1zvja1l E6UZp8dQCrI2jqQuoE-S5_EmZkFXkSuOvzzdN8ubmYQQDz8jfizRba4uj9tYuaNTks6Nn1-Llj lfQaq1--rMY79hV4MLSKZprnJ5-gD21H7VzR-VN2WhBTVjtTbipaBoYnukxdPhyeH-o8GdjNTq ri3MXOo1UcDnBiI-BOY8yxcdL--NXIGcVsUOUxDPh5shCqpAaYapNHdS%2Fhttps%253A%252F %252Furldefense.com%252Fv3%252F__https%253A%252Fieeemeetings.webex.com%252 Fweblink%252Fregister%252Frad045178fcc719f819edf4899f8d5e32__%253B%2521%25 21IKRxdwAv5BmarQ%2521dLhsUkM9qI91cOfFfzEmOCHsufyL1TdUwRuo_Kw6d-ncTVf1SkYy2 0zxKLFONueTlGTfcDamLc2IiSgzYzU%2524&amp\;data=05%7C01%7Cawankha%40entergy. com%7Cb04a2b964696467525d508dbca9255ae%7Ce0c134696a2d4ac3835b8ec9ed03c9a7% 7C0%7C0%7C638326502089617738%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiL CJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp\;sdata=R pgQlCanNNST1dOoYZh0cvEaueXjQrti4Ey3JISqP7U%3D&amp\;reserved=0">Invitation to LM Webinar on 23 October 2023</a></li>\n<li><strong>Once registered\, y ou will receive the link of the webinar</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>A bstract</strong></p>\n<p>The OpenDSS program was created in 1997 when the Distribution Planning problem became more complicated due largely to the i ntroduction of distributed generation into the distribution system.&nbsp\; Through the 190&rsquo\;s it became apparent that engineers were going to have to include more than the radial MV feeders to get the right answer.&n bsp\; The sub-transmission (HV) system was added\, requiring a meshed syst em solver &ndash\; so we adapted methods from a harmonics solver capable o f modeling very detailed multiphase power systems.&nbsp\; Then we learned that the answer was still no right: the load and generation had to move to account for the coincidence between them.&nbsp\; Static power flows gave way to 8760-hour simulation.&nbsp\; EPRI made the program open source in 2 008 to make its features available to many more researchers and to train t he next generation of distribution engineers.&nbsp\; In the last 15 year\, there have been over 160\,000 downloads worldwide.&nbsp\; There are no do ubt thousands of BS\, MS\, and Ph.D. students whose projects have been mad e possible by Open DSS.</p>\n<p>Many features have been added including bu ilt-in parallel processing and other support for modern computing architec tures.&nbsp\; Moving forward\, there will be more emphasis on such things as dynamics for microgrid simulations\, modern DER and grid conditioning d evices\, advanced protection/coordination capabilities and better means of accommodating user customization.&nbsp\; A tighter connection to the popu lar Python language and more cross-platform implementations are quite like ly.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Speaker Bio</strong></p>\n<p>Ro ger Dugan is a Sr. Technical Executive with EPRI in Knoxville\, Tennessee USA.&nbsp\; He has over 50 years of combined experience in distribution en gineering with EPRI\, Electrotek Concepts\, and Cooper Power Systems.
