I made a CAD software for designing electrical control panels

Hello everyone!

I've been working on a personal project for a while called Panel Master, an affordable CAD software for designing electrical control panels.

https://panelmaster.app/

It allows you to design component layouts using real-world dimensions, make changes very quickly, and generate technical documentation in PDF. You can also export designs as SVG to use in other programs, and generate DXF files with cutting lines for machining mounting holes.

It comes with a fairly extensive library of generic components, and I'd love to add more based on the needs of the people who use it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have!

Need Sel-411L differential relay

We are in need of a Sel-411l differential relay that’s holding up one of our solar projects. Our utility provider failed to procure the long lead item, and it’s putting our project behind 142 days. Does anyone in this big beautiful world have any suggestions or ideas on how to bring one of these bad boys in quickly? Calling SEL directly was no luck. Thanks Reddit friends!

Minimum Power Systems Analyis Studies to know

Hello!

I have a number of years experience in power engineering across substations, renewables, data centers and transmission projects.

I enjoy learning about power systems analysis even though it forms only 10% of my job - mostly load flow and short circuit for equipment sizing.

What are the main studies I should know (and outcomes) for interviewing for a job that is studies related?

I have access to powerfactory in my job and want to make use of some free time I have during the winter.

Power System stability and control - P.Kundar 1st vs 2nd edition

I’ve been in the industry a while now and want to get myself a copy of the bible of stability and control. Ie power system stability and control by P.Kundar.

I’ve flicked through the 1st edition (1994) before at my previous job but there is now a 2nd edition that came out in 2022.

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 versions and have any recommendations for whether I should get the OG or the new version?

Aesthetically I prefer the original

Physics-based power grid game released today. 4+ years in development by a power engineer.

You guys liked my last post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Grid\_Ops/comments/1q9tdad/i\_was\_told\_you\_guys\_might\_like\_a\_video\_game\_about/) and now the project has just released to V1.0!

Today after a little over 4 years of solo development, Power Network Tycoon has reached V1.0.

I’m a power engineer and originally started making it as a hobby project around the kinds of power system problems I find interesting. It’s a physics-based power grid simulation covering generation, renewables, grid stability, thermal management, extreme weather and more.

It runs on PC, Mac and Linux including Steam Deck.
