In the project

The local learning console combines grid structure with simulation controls. It is a teaching prototype, not an operating grid.

The starting point

A distribution network is easier to understand when a change can be followed through the branches, equipment and affected demand.

What I built

Maps and single-line diagrams turn grid structure into something to investigate. The learning console explores transformers, demand changes and protection scenarios, with a focus on understanding the system rather than operating a real network.
