GridLAB-D

Funding for the research and development of GridLAB-D has come from multiple sources, including the United States Department of Energy (US DOE) and the California Energy Commission (CEC).

GridLAB-D was developed with funding from the US DOE Office of Electricity (OE) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in collaboration with industry and academia. It is available for Microsoft Windows, macOS and several Linux implementations and released through GitHub.{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d|title=GridLAB-D Project|website=GitHub|language=en|access-date=2018-10-21}}

Original work on GridLAB-D was started at PNNL in 2003 under a Laboratory Directed Research and Development project called PDSS.{{Cite arXiv|title=Parallel computing environments and methods for power distribution system simulation - IEEE Conference Publication|author1=Ning Lu|author1-link=Ning Lu |author2=Z.T. Taylor |author3=D.P. Chassin |author4=R. Guttromson |author5=S. Studham |date=June 16, 2005|language=en-US|eprint=cs/0409035}} Starting in 2008 GridLAB-D was made available to the public under a BSD-style open-source license with a US Government right-to-use clause.{{Cite web|url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d/master/LICENSE|title=GridLAB-D License|date=January 2008}} US DOE has supported GridLAB-D through both direct funding and funding of projects that support enhancements to the simulation's capabilities.

In 2017 the CEC awarded several grants{{Cite web|url=https://www.energy.ca.gov/contracts/epic.html#GFO-17-305|title=Funding Solicitations for the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Program|last=California Energy Commission|website=www.energy.ca.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-10-21}} to enhance GridLAB-D with the aim to support use in California regions operated by the investor-owned utility ratepayers. The enhancements focus on the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) proceedings related to distributed and renewable energy resource integration, with particular attention to usability, scalability and interoperability. Hitachi America Laboratory (HAL) leads the GridLAB-D Open Workspace (GLOW)California Energy Commission staff, "GLOW: A User-friendly Interface for GridLAB-D", Grant Request submitted to the Commission, 5/11/2018. URL: https://www.energy.ca.gov/business_meetings/2018_packets/2018-04-11/Item_13d_EPC-17-043.pdf project to develop a user-interface for GridLAB-D. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) leads the High-Performance Agent-based Simulation (HiPAS)California Energy Commission Staff, "HiPAS GridLAB-D: High-performance Agent-based Simulation using GridLAB-D", Grant Request submitted to the Commission, 5/11/2018. URL: https://www.energy.ca.gov/business_meetings/2018_packets/2018-05-09/Item_24c_EPC-17-046.pdf project to enhance the performance of GridLAB-D. HiPAS GridLAB-D is released through GitHub.{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/slacgismo/gridlabd|title=HiPAS GridLAB-D Project|website=GitHub|language=en|access-date=2020-05-11}} SLAC also leads the Open Framework for Integrated Data Operations (OpenFIDO)California Energy Commission Staff, "OpenFIDO: Open-source Framework for Integrated Data Operations", Grant Request submitted to the Commission, 5/11/2018. https://www.energy.ca.gov/business_meetings/2018_packets/2018-05-09/Item_24b_EPC-17-047.pdf to support data exchange between GridLAB-D and other widely used power system data collection, modeling, and analytics tools.

In 2022 LF Energy adopted HiPAS GridLAB-D as an open-source project under the name Arras Energy.{{Cite web|title=Arras Energy Project|url=https://arras.energy/|website=GitHub|language=en|access-date=2023-05-07}}
