pandapower is an easy to use network calculation program aimed to automate the analysis and optimization of power
systems. It uses the data analysis library `pandas <http://pandas.pydata.org>`_ and is compatible with the commonly
used MATPOWER / PYPOWER case format. pandapower allows using different solvers including an improved Newton-Raphson
power flow implementation, all `PYPOWER <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PYPOWER>`_ solvers, the C++ library solvers for fast steady-state distribution power system analysis of `PowerGridModel <https://github.com/PowerGridModel/power-grid-model>`_, the Newton-Raphson power flow solvers in the C++ library `lightsim2grid <https://github.com/BDonnot/lightsim2grid/>`_, and the
`PowerModels.jl <https://github.com/lanl-ansi/PowerModels.jl/>`_ library.

To get realistic load profile data and grid models across all voltage levels that are ready to
be used in pandapower, have a look at the *SimBench* `project website <https://www.simbench.net>`_ or
`on GitHub <https://github.com/e2nIEE/simbench>`_.

If you want to model pipe networks (heat, gas or water) as well, we recommend
pandapower's sibling project *pandapipes* (`website <https://www.pandapipes.org>`_, `GitHub repository <https://github.com/e2nIEE/pandapipes>`_).
