Hi I am new to this GridLabD. I have downloaded the gridlabd-win32-2010_04_16-nightly.exe from sourceforge.net, and executed this, makes the installtion and finishes.
1. Then I am running the GridLab-D console, typing the gridlabd in the command window, gives me warning "Local TZ is empty " how to rectify this? I am actually not aware of proper installation. Is there any step by step installation guide.
2. Is it useful to simulate smart grid environment? does it has all type of power sources (thermal, wind, solar, tidal, nuclear, geothermal) and has all the components of the power system including FACTS devices.
3. Is there any flexibility to add user algorithms in controlling the market prices and device status, etc..
4. Is it possible to add agent based controlling behavior to each element?
5. Is it possible to link with the C# code?
Thank you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In order,
1. Set the environment variable "TZ". As an example, mine is set to "PST+8PDT".
2. The majority of the recent powerflow work has been done on the distribution side, but there are others with a deeper understanding of the power simulator that can answer this question.
3 & 4. I think so, but differing existing elements have differing degrees of flexibility. Please elaborate on what you're trying to do.
5. As-is, no. It is possible to link with Java code, which was an exciting endeavor, and you can review the glmjava module to review what was needed on the C side. A short answer is that linking with C# would require the DLL loader to be able to locate the GridLAB-D and the module callback functions and map them to native call and/or C# calls, as appropriate. However, we are striving to keep GridLAB-D cross-platform, and there may be designs to not support any system-specific languages.

I have the same problem (nro. 1) than ravikumarpandi had. Could you please mhauer clarify a little bit your solution to this problem? How I can set the environment variable or make the program to work in some other way?
It would be nice to have some kind of short "GridLAB-D installation guide for dummies".

Many thanks for you mhauer!! Now I think I got it work, or at least I´ve passed the first problem :)
