Description

Summary

Expand documentation in the PhasorDynamics README file and comments in source code in Component, GridElement, and Bus* classes.

Rationale

Doxygen style comments would help create documentation automatically and some description of the model code architecture in the README file would be helpful for component-model developers. Ideally, we want power systems experts to have clear understanding how to add a new component model without diving deep in GridKit code.

Description
  • In GridKit/Model/PhasorDynamics/README.md file add an overview of model classes architecture and some general instructions for component model developers.
  • Add new and expand existing comments following Doxygen markup for following classes"
    • GridElement
    • BusBase
    • BusBaseImpl
    • Component
