Power Balance Models#

Power Balance Models (PBM) is a framework developed by UKAEA for assessment of net power production by different Tokamak fusion reactor designs. The simulations are built around models constructed using Modelica for power generation and consumption systems. The included API allows users to configure and launch simulation runs quickly and easily either via a command line interface (CLI) or through scripts.

This site provides information on the models contained within PBM and how to use the framework in your own analysis, as well as guidelines towards contributing to the project.

You can download the latest release on the project repository.
