Letter of Recommendation

We have been using the PSAT analytical software tool in Electric Power SystemManagement (EPSM) area of specialization in energy filed of study at Asian Institute of

Technology (AIT) since 2003. AIT as you may know, an international post graduate

institution with over a couple of thousand students from fifty countries enrolled as oftoday.

PSAT has been developed by Dr. Milano. He made it available free for researchcommunity in the electric power system engineering filed. As a faculty and researcher

working little over a decade in the area of power system, I find PSAT is a very useful

tool. The interesting feature of the tool is that it has different modules that could be used

for various types of analytical studies. Moreover, all FACTS controllers that are currentlyavailable are incorporated in PSAT with their appropriate models.

I hope Dr. Milano would be getting the necessary support to continue his support toresearch community in power system engineering by providing updates and guides to the

PSAT.

Yours truly,

(N. Mithulananthan)

A quien corresponda.

Por la presente certifico que el programa PSAT, esta siendo utilizado como una herramienta

de investigacin en las reas de sistemas elctricos de potencia, por parte de los

investigadores del Centro de Investigaciones Elctricas - Electrnicas del Per CIEEP.

PSAT, es un Software de Ingeniera Elctrica ideal para investigacin e instruccin, es

dotado de herramientas muy tiles que cubren distintas reas de la ingeniera de potencia,

que permite optar por esta herramienta en ves de programas comerciales que hace

prcticamente lo mismo.

Aprovecho adems para agradecer y felicitarle sinceramente al Doctor Milano por la

eficiente contribucin a la ingeniera elctrica, que da a da beneficia a gran cantidad de

usuarios en el mundo y adicionalmente asistidos por el mismo Doctor y sus colaboradoresmediante el PSAT Forum en grupos de yahoo.

Mis ms sinceros reconocimientos y que sigan los xitos.

Muy atte.

December 26, 2005Dear Professor Milano,

I am pleased to inform you that the software package Power System Analysis Toolbox(PSAT) for Matlab developed by you is very good tool and widely used for the research andteaching purposes. This toolbox is easily used by the students since they are very familiarwith the Matlab environment. We thank you for giving us a chance to enhance our teachingand research capabilities. We have been very fortunate to learn of this package, which has hada major impact on our work.Our research in power systems includes FACTS devices and wind power. The incorporationof these in PSAT has given us a great ease in simulating the performance of our designedcontrollers. Finally your documentation is excellent. I personally learnt a few things aboutpower systemmodeling which I couldn't understand from research papers and books.I am very grateful to Prof. Milano for his initiative in developing this important and user-friendly tool for the power system research community, and for making it widely available.Any assistance that can be provided to Prof. Milano in supporting the continuation of hisresearch and development in this field would be greatly appreciated.I hope you continue the development and maintenance of this software.

w~~r~N. Sing

Dear Dr Milano,

The development of flexible free software is important in the context of the changes inpower system structures, and the advent of technologies like FACTS and PMU. In this

context, I happened to access your PSAT software a few months back.

I think that a software like PSAT is a stupendous effort.

PSAT contains all tools for LF, OPF, CPF, time-domain simulation-large signal stabilityand small signal stability, FACTS and HVDC systems and PMU placement. It is an effort

to be further consolidated and carried forward.

Congratulations to you for putting together a fine tool.

Best Regards

Under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts and grants with the US

Department of Homeland Security and the US Department of Energy, Open Secure EnergyControl Systems, LLC (OSECS) has been developing a toolkit for implementing IEC 61850

and its wind power extension, IEC 61400-25. The toolkit is being developed as open sourcesoftware with a parallel commercial license for those users who wish to avoid the

implications of the GNU General Public License (GPL) on their "secret sauce" technology.

We have planned and initially tested a GPL-compatible interface to PSAT to enable toolkit

applications to access advanced functionality such as power flow. In view of our recent focuson wind power, the inclusion of wind power models in Version 2 of PSAT, and our use of

Octave as the base technology for running PSAT, we especially applaud the inclusion inPSAT of software that enables Version 2 of PSAT to be run using Octave.

We view PSAT as the foremost collection of power system software available in the opensource community. It has a wide variety of potential applications and incorporates models

addressing the most recent, critical issues facing the electric power community.

We commend Dr. Federico Milano for his excellent work and his commitment to open source

software.

Sincerely,

/s/

To whom it may concern

It has been about seven years since I was introduced to the software package developed byFederico Milano, PSAT (Power System Analysis Toolbox). In a sense, I have grown up withthis software, as it has accompanied through my formal academic training.

As an undergraduate student in Guatemala, I used it to analyze a fair number of class examples

and exercises, but more importantly, it gave me the opportunity to introduce this advancedcomputing tool to students in a developing nation.

As a graduate student while at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, I had theopportunity not only to use it for course projects in graduate courses, but also, I was given theopportunity of teaching undergraduate students of the Power Engineering Fundamentals. I sawthat PSAT was useful and exciting for the students.

In addition, during my research visit at The University of Glasgow, Scotland, PSAT was usedeffectively to verify the results obtained from software being developed at this university.

With my recent appointment at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) have come researchprojects, which I am in charge of supervising. It gives me extreme pleasure to be able to sharewith my own students a Free/Libreand Open Source Software package that will allow them tocarry out their thesis work, but also teach them on power system computations due to its opennature. I hope that I will be also able to use it for MSc courses at KTH.

I hope this testimony motivates the continued support and assistance of Federicos effort todevelop PSAT and any other projects he carries out. After seven years since I was introducedto PSAT I have not only benefited from having a Free/Libreand Open Source Software forpower system computations, but also have found in Federico a true gentleman and scholar.

With best regards,

Dr. Luigi VanfrettiAssistant ProfessorRoyal Institute of Technology (KTH)Electric Power Systems DivisionStockholm, Sweden
