power-grid-model is a library for steady-state distribution power system analysis distributed for Python and C. The core of the library is written in C++. Currently, it supports the following calculations:

• Power Flow
• State Estimation
• Short Circuit

See the power-grid-model documentation for more information. For various conversions to the power-grid-model, refer to the power-grid-model-io repository.
