Dear Vijaya,

Matlab-Simulink is still a good option for microgrid simulation as you have the possibility to use its own components (sources/renewables, ...) to construct you microgrid or designy ou own components if you are not satisfied or you are looking for better modeling accuracy/

 I think Matlab/Simulink and PSCAD are the best tools for the simulation of the Microgrid systems

I recommend MATLAB/SIMULINK since modelling is straightforward and precise

Dear Venkatesan,

With due respect to all those who have already answered, the best suitable software is the one in which you have best working experience. If you have expertise in matlab/simulink, you should proceed with that.

My feedback: Matlab/simulink is still the most popular choice among researchers. Others options being PSCAD, RSCAD (the one which comes with RTDS). There are many other simulation platforms. But ultimately it all comes down to a group of organizations trying to lure researchers with their lucrative toolboxes and promotions via institutional tie-ups.

Go ahead and use the one you like, may the force be with you!

Usually PSCAD is offered.

Dear Venkatesan,

Last year was released PandaPower (Pandas+PyPower) a software coded in Python that allow you to simulate microgrids.

Or, you can try RAPSim,

Hope you take a look at them. Cheers!

Thanks for information
