Improve our Documentation

The documentation of the OpenIPSL is hosted on Read the Docs and is developed using the reStructuredText markup language.

The sources for compiling the documentations are placed in the ./docs/ folder of the repository.

The main goal of the documentation is to provide information on the development conventions adopted for this project, and provide a guide to the contributors of the project.

Improve the Library

The library has been in development for a couple years now, and comprises many models for power system simulation. We are, however, always interested in adding new models to the library, or improve the existing models.

Please always document your contribution in an issue in our `Issue`_ Tracker, feel free to create a new issue if none of the existing one fit your contribution. This will allow the team managing the repository to review the suggested changes, and discuss the motivation behind them.

Note

Structural changes to the library should be discussed with the team prior to any submission

When submitting new models to the library, please also include the following in the associated issue:

  • A short report describing your component model, as well as the validation test.
  • The source files that you used to validate your model against a reference tool.
  • If the model is entirely new, and there is NO reference model to check against, some measurements could be useful…
  • The data files to plot the comparison figures and compute the quantitative validation metrics.

Note

We prepared a submission template to help you prepare your submission.
