PowsyblToPowerModels.jl

This package extends PowerModels.jl supported input formats to also support powsybl's supported formats (CGMES, UCTE, XIIDM).

These file formats are widely used by European TSO's.

Usage

import PowsyblToPowerModels
pm_data = PowsyblToPowerModels.parse_powsybl("path/to/case")

Create XIIDM and .mat files from Matpower (.m)

Setup

Tutorial from PowSyBl

1. Install Octave: https://octave.org/download
2. Install Matpower: https://matpower.org/about/get-started/
   • During the installation, generate the startup.m file with Matpower's paths. It should look something like this

   cat startup.m
   %STARTUP
   
   %% add MATPOWER paths
   addpath( ...

   • Put the startup.m file inside the src directory

Conversion

Launch julia

julia

Enter the package manager (pkg) and activate the current package

]
activate .

If it is the first time you are running the package, you must also download the dependencies.
Inside the package manager (pkg), run the following command

instantiate

This will create a Manifest.toml file in the source of the repo.

Finally, for the conversion, leave the package manager (backspace) and run

import PowsyblToPowerModels
PowsyblToPowerModels.convert_m_to_xiidm("path/to/case")

This command will run octave and create a .mat file for the case.

Then, it will read the .mat file with Powsybl.jl and save it as an .xiidm file.

Aditionally, it will also create a .json with some extra information not contained in the .xiidm.
