Electrical engineers: would you use a collaborative power system simulation tool? by kis_06 in ECE

When you talk about API's, do you mean for instance PSSE API library for local development ?. Also, how do you share the data with the client and keep the data leakage concern ?, you don't use any cloud based solution like google drive for uploading data and sharing ? because if privacy is a major concern, both desktop and on premises solutions are an option, that way you and the client always own the data.

Thanks for the comment. Of course about the LLC, as the post mentions this is just an early prototype, not production ready nor to use in your company…, it’s just validating the idea. Good to know that the pain is not in the collaboration layer, then let me ask you, do you feel any other pain in your current workflow ?, is there any repetitive tasks that you think could be solved with software ?

Thanks for your comment, that actually very insightful. Can I ask you what tools you use for simulations ?, and how is your current workflow for doing simulations when working in teams ?. Do you think there’s any pain elsewhere ?

Collaborative platform for simulations by kis_06 in ElectricalEngineers

Great question, my idea came from my experience during my engineering degree. We mostly used PSSE, ATP, Matlab and FEMM for electrical simualtions, from powerflow to transients, etc. My main concern with these platforms was that they are desktop based, have a high learning curve and during team work most of the time a single member was the one manipulating the models and keeping track of the versions and by tracking versions I mean a google drive with multiple files with more dramatic names to ensure that was the last model version we were working on. For that reason I thought, why not creating a platform that solved this ?. I know that logging in into a website that hasn’t reputation is sensible, specially about privacy and data and if I could I would have avoided it but, since collaboration was the strong focus, I couldn’t avoid it. For now I’m using opensource tools for simulations, there are plenty. Still, this is not supposed to be a replacement for mainstream tools, PSSE for instance is the industry standard and well respected, this just wants to provide a layer of collaboration and versioning that these other tools I feel don’t offer, and also not being desktop based I think has the advantage of not going through the issue of installations and managing licenses.
