Over five months, Marques Ja worked on the powsybl-core repository, delivering features and fixes that improved power system data modeling and exchange. He enhanced CGMES import and export pipelines, separating EQ and SSH data for all equipment types to increase model fidelity and robustness. Using Java, XML, and SPARQL, Marques refactored backend logic to support complex scenarios like substations spanning multiple control areas and multi-island network exports. His work included configuration-driven error handling, expanded unit testing, and documentation updates, resulting in more reliable integration with external tools and better support for grid operators’ planning and operational decision-making needs.
March 2026 focused on reliability and accuracy in powsybl-core data exchange and voltage control for CGMES. Delivered targeted improvements to export pipelines (PSSE and CGMES) and enhanced voltage-regulating control for busbar sections, significantly improving data integrity across multi-island configurations and complex network cases. The work strengthens grid modeling capabilities and accelerates integration with external tools used in planning and operations.

Monthly performance summary for 2025-09: Delivered a major enhancement to CGMES import by separating Equipment (EQ) and SSH data across all equipment types, significantly improving data accuracy, robustness, and extensibility of the full power-system model. This refactor covers loads, transformers, generators, SVCs, shunt components, HVDC lines, Lines, Switches, TieLines, VoltageLevels, Grounds, SvInjections, ControlAreas, BusbarSections, and more. The change reduces update inconsistencies and enables reliable representations of complex CGMES scenarios. The work emphasized long-term maintainability, better error handling, and configuration-driven fallback when data is missing.

August 2025: Delivered Substation Bus Mapping Across Control Areas in powsybl-core. Modified ContainersMapping to include control_area in voltage level identification, enabling correct mapping for substations with buses at the same nominal voltage across different control areas. Added a dedicated test to validate the cross-area scenario. This work improves PSSE interoperability, data integrity, and end-to-end grid modeling accuracy.
