Show HN: BambooGrid – Open-source web UI for power grid modeling and power flow
BambooGrid is a new open-source web-based tool designed to help engineers model power grids and analyze power flow. Built on the Python library pandapower, it provides a visual interface for simulating electrical systems to improve domain knowledge.
Why it matters
It simplifies complex electrical engineering tasks, making power grid analysis more accessible for developers and students in the energy sector.
Hi HN, I am co-founder of Kickstage, a software company specializing in solutions for the electrical industry and lately grid operators. We are hiring engineers from different backgrounds, a lot of them software developers with limited experience in the sectors. Deep domain knowledge is key in our industry however, so we are constantly teaching the basics of power flow analysis, active vs reactive power, transmission line properties etc. With Jupyter notebooks and the Python console only, that's a tedious task and hardly ever led to a deep understanding of the topics. So we built BambooGrid: a web-based editor on top of pandapower, a popular simulation library in our industry. You drag elements like buses, lines, loads generators and transformers onto a canvas, wire them up, set parameters and run power flow.
