HELMpy is an open source package of power flow solvers.

This package contains the Holomorphic Embedding Load flow Method (HELM) and the Newton-Raphson (NR) algorithm. The intention of HELMpy is to support research, especially on the HELM, and to contribute with the development of open source code related to this subject. The developed code is properly commented and organized so it would be easy to understand and modify.

• data: sample data of large-sized, complex practical grids for testing purposes. Already computed results can also be found
• helmm: matlab files for downloading and parsing to .xlsx matpower grids
• helmpy: scripts with core functionality
• test: scripts for running tests using sample grids from data directory

This package is compatible with Python 3.6 and 3.7.

This package was developed by Tulio Molina and Juan José Ortega as a part of their thesis research to obtain the degree of Electrical Engineer at Universidad de los Andes (ULA) in Mérida, Venezuela.
