How State Estimation Works: Reconstructing the Grid State from Noisy Measurements

How a power grid turns a pile of noisy, redundant meter readings into one clean, trustworthy picture of itself — watched live, on a real network.

The Electrical Foundations of Power Flow - BambooGrid Series Part 2

Using the same BambooGrid network from Part 1, this article unpacks the electrical foundations behind a power-flow calculation — phase angles, impedance, and how active, reactive, and apparent power relate

Modeling and Simulating Power Grids in the Browser — A Practical Guide to BambooGrid

BambooGrid is an open-source, browser-based tool for visually modeling and analyzing electrical power networks using drag-and-drop, eliminating the need for desktop software or local Python setups. This post walks through building a small distribution grid from scratch—adding buses, loads, solar generation, and transformers—then running power flow calculations and interpreting the results.

Grafana for Energy Data: Turning Grid Data into Insight

We show how Grafana, Python, Docker, PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB can turn public German electricity data into practical energy dashboards for engineers, operators and stakeholders.
