PSAT Tutorial

This document provides an overview of using the Power System Analyzer Toolbox (PSAT) to simulate electricity markets. PSAT is an open source MATLAB toolbox for solving power flow and optimal power flow problems. The document demonstrates how to install PSAT, load test case files, run optimal power flows to obtain outputs like generator schedules and nodal prices, and edit the input data files.
