GridFlow is a power grid builder and simulator focused on energy flow. This is a Cal Poly Capstone project in partnership with Vandenberg Air Force Base. For a detailed behavior and usage description, please visit the Wiki.

Installation

1. Navigate to the latest release.
2. Download and extract GridFlowInstaller.zip.
3. Run the installer.
4. Run the application from the Desktop or Start menu shortcut.
5. If the application fails to run, re-run it as an administrator. This is likely because it could not create the Credentials.json file in Program Data/GridFlow. You will only have to do this on first launch.
