Online Power Flow Assessment Tool
During my final year at Ryerson University I worked with two classmates in the creation of an Online Power Flow Assessment tool. The purpose of this project was to create a tool that could be used by engineers to quickly determine powerflow data in a system. The advantage of our system was that the background process was done using Amazon web services. To complete a power flow Assessment of a system an iterrative approach must be taken using the Newton Raphson method. This is a taxing process and completing it locally on your machine can have bottlenecks and slow down the process. Since computation for our solution was done by AWS the users machine would not effect performance. This allowed for powerflow to be completed on anything from a desktop to a mobile phone. My contribution to this project was in the user interface. I worked on the Javascript and HTML that the end user would be interacting with. The result was an intuitive system with easy to use input as well as visual queues to help the user visualize their systems, input and output.
This project won the Toronto Hydro Student award of 2018/2019. It also recieved the Ryerson Capstone Design Project Excellence Award Gold in 2019.
A technical document about the project was published on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers website. This publication can be found Here
