HVLBuzz is a simulation tool to calculate the surface gradient of overhead power lines and predict the audible noise and electromagnetic field at ground.
| Operating System | Download |
|---|---|
| 🪟 Windows (64 bit) |  |
| 🐧 Linux | pip install hvlbuzz |
| 🍏 Mac | pip install hvlbuzz |
It is recommended that you use a Python virtual envioronement to run
HVLBuzz. Run the following command to create folder called kivy_venv
inside which your environement will live. The latest version of
Python this code has been tested with was 3.10
python -m venv kivy_venv
Activate your virtual environement by running
kivy_venv\Scripts\activate.bat # 🪟
. kivy_venv/bin/activate # 🐧 / 🍏
Then install hvlbuzz into your environement as follows
pip install .
pip install garden.matplotlib/
This will also install an executable python script in your environments bin folder.
To run the binary obtained in the install part, run
hvlbuzz
Alternatively, the module is can also be started from python:
python -m hvlbuzz
or
python hvlbuzz
The source code can also be compiled by yourself using PyInstaller using the provided hvlbuzz/buzz.spec file.
pyinstaller hvlbuzz/buzz.spec
A buzz.exe binary will be available in a (newly created if
non-existing) dist\buzz folder.
HVLBuzz was designed as a Student Thesis of Aldo Tobler, supervised by Sören Hedtke and Christian Franck from the High Voltage Lab (HVL), D-ITET, ETH.
This tool is completely free to use as is and only requires freely available Python libraries to run. The GUI is based on the Kivy framework, while the mathematical computations and plot generation rely the widely used NumPy and Matplotlib.
