The 1920s saw social and economic changes in the United States. The period after WWI was characterized by isolationism, as seen in laws restricting immigration and the Red Scare targeting radicals. Culturally, the decade witnessed the rise of new technologies like automobiles, movies, radio and their impact on American life and values. The booming economy of the decade was fueled by mass consumption and consumer credit, but was unstable due to stock market speculation and an overheated real estate market, setting the stage for the Great Depression.

Chinese Pebbles
A farmer owed a large debt to an ugly old man that would result in debtor's prison if not repaid. With a bad harvest, the farmer could not pay. The old man proposed marrying his beautiful daughter to cancel the debt. She was given a bag with two pebbles, one black and one white. If she picked black, she must marry; white cancels the debt. However, the old man secretly put two black pebbles in the bag. The clever daughter pretended to drop her pebble in the road, then removed the other pebble to reveal the old man's deception and find a solution without marrying him or imprisoning her father.

It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
