Gridlab-D is a new power system simulation tool that provides valuable information to users who design and operate electric power transmission and distribution systems, and to utilities that wish to take advantage of the latest smart grid technology. Simulate power distribution system with this tool.

At its simplest, GridLAB-D examines in detail the interplay of every part of a distribution system with every other. GridLAB-D does not require the use of reduced-order models for the aggregate behavior of consumer or electrical systems, which averts the danger of erroneous or misapplied assumptions. It becomes an essential tool that enables industry and government planners to design more effective and efficient programs to manage load growth and improve system reliability.

GridLAB-D incorporates an extensive suite of tools to build and manage studies and analyze results, including:
1. agent-based and information-based modeling tools that allow users to create detailed models of how new end-use technologies, distributed energy resources (DER), distribution automation, and retail markets interact and evolve over time
2. tools to create and validate rate structures, examine consumer reaction, and verify the interaction and dependence of programs with other technologies and wholesale markets
3. interfaces to industry-standard power systems tools and analysis systems
4. extensive data collection tools to permit a wide variety of analyses.
