# 电力系统研究的特点

1. 模型角度：动态模型极为复杂。
2. 技术路线角度：严重依赖仿真。
3. 研究开放性角度：极度封闭的小团体。

## 模型角度

Power systems in general are very complex systems that the number of their state and control variables can easily exceed hundreds. How the algorithm would work on larger systems? How to do prove your statement?

## 研究开放性角度

The experience with PSAT has taught me that the power system community is simply not responding properly to open source projects. In the last ten years, third-party contributions to PSAT have been very marginal or would have been developed even if PSAT had been not distributed as a free and open source project. On the other hand, I am quite sure that several extensions have been developed but not shared with the PSAT community.

I got to the conclusion that the free and open source paradigm is not attractive for small and closed communities like the power system one.

PSAT 是 Milano 开发的电力系统仿真程序，以开源的形式共享给所有电力系统研究者。但他发现很多研究者基于 PSAT 开发了新的扩展功能，但并没有共享给整个 PSAT 社区，这让他明白了免费开源是不适合由电力系统研究者组成的这种封闭的小圈子的。
