About "Power System Toolbox for Octave" :
==========================================
This Power system toolbox contains programmes to form Ybus, Loadflow Analysis(NRLF, GSLF, FDLF), Economic Load Dispatch
Swing equation, power angle diagram and Transmission line parameters(A,B,C,D) for long, medium and short transmission lines.
These programmes can be run either in Octave or Matlab.
Many other new features like Contengency analysis are under development.
System Requirement :
====================
Operating System : Linux Distro ( Ubuntu, Zenwalk, Slackware, uMint etc).
Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7.
Software Requirement : Octave 3.0 or higher (or Matlab).
Processor : Any AMD or Intel family x86 or higher processors.
Disk Space : 1 GB for Matlab installation if needed.
200 MB(max) for Octave and toolbox installation.
RAM : 512 MB of higher
Editors : for Linux : gedit / geany / mousepad / medit / kedit.
for Windows : notepad / wordpad.
General Instructions to Enter Input Data :
==========================================
1) The input files are created by the dedicated code written, which will be opened in any of the editor present in the system. In case of linux it will be usually mousepad or gedit. User are given the option to choose the editor of their liking.
2) Enter the input data for the calculation following the instructions below.
i) Do not change any variable names.
ii) Each element in the tables must be seperated either by a blank space or a tab.
iii) If there is any element that is not necessary for the calculation process, leave that matrix blank.
iv) Input data must be entered with atleast 3 decimal precission.
v) Make sure to save the reslts before entering a new calculation as the old will be over written in case if not saved.
3) DO NOT CHANGE ANY VARIABLE NAMES IN THE PROGRAM as it might cause trouble in execution or Wrong output.
4) Data can either be copy pasted into the input file or can be entered manually.
5) To interrupt any calculation in process <Ctrl+C> key can be used.
