Where to find good researchers and their teams?

This is a list of collaborators and/or people I admire… incomplete, and in no particular order.

The Sys. Id. Crowd

• Prof. Xavier Bombois, École Centrale Lyon, France, works on System Identification and is also CNRS Research Director with Laboratoire Ampere.

The Modelica Crowd

• Prof. Peter Fritzon, Linköping Univ., Sweden leading the OpenModelica effort.
• Dr. Dietmar Winkler, HSN, Norway, expert in all Modelica things, and member of OpenIPSL

The Power Systems Crowd

• Dr. David Laverty, QUB, Belfast, leading the OpenPMU project.
• Prof. Mario Paolone, EPFL, Switzerland, leading the DESL.
• Dr. Barry Rawn, CMU Africa, Rwanda, personal website here. … more to come!

Where to get a PMU? - Build one!

• I have tried helping a bit my friend Dr. David Laverty in his great effort developing and open source software/hardware PMU device and ecosystem which you can find here.
• The FluxPMU is the result of this effort, it revisits OpenPMU version 1 (legacy), and offers a ``Maker’s Guide’’ and documentation on the LabVIEW Software, here

What tools you use in your research that are not made by yourself?

Modelica and the FMI Standard

• Modelica Association: developing the Modelica language standard and FMI standard.
• FMI Website: providing info on the FMI standard.
• OpenModelica: Open Source Modelica Consortium and the OSS OpenModelica environment.
• Dymola, the first and oldest Modelica compliant tool.
• Modelon’s tools and libraries rock!
• Wolfram System Modeler, runs Modelica models in Linux, Mac OS/X and Windows.
• Papyrus: Papyrus-RT provides an implementation of the UML-RT modeling language together with editors, code generator for C++ and a supporting runtime system and model-compare (diff/merge) capabilities.
• LBL’s Simulation Research Group Tools at GitHub and [GitHub Account] (https://github.com/lbl-srg): The Simulation Research Group specializes in the research, development and deployment of software that support the design and operation of buildings, as well as the research of next-generation building energy and control systems.
• Python Migration: list of tips and resources for migrating from Matlab to Python-based systems using NumPy and SciPy.

  Python

• Anaconda Python: environment for Python and R that includes several pre-installed libraries and tools (e.g. Spyder and Jupyter).

  System Identification Tools

• RaPId Toolbox, MATLAB-based (unfortunately), but very special as we made with my students…
• DSI Toolbox MATLAB-based (unfortunately).
• CONTSID Toolbox MATLAB-based (unfortunately).

  What can I use to learn Modelica?…

  Modelica Learning Resources

• modelica.university: Interactive web-based Modelica models and simulation showcases. ** See ** the Tour of Modelica.
• Modelica in Action create, compile and simulate Modelica models using JModelica.org.
