Power System Toolbox - this
is a suite of MATLABŪ-based power system simulation code originally developed
by me and Dr. Kwok W. Cheung in the early 1990s. It has been substantially
upgraded by Dr. Graham Rogers at Cherry Tree Scientific Software. Note that
this is a free software and not supported. A user can read the manual or see
the textbooks listed above.
