Parsing PSS/e dynamic data

A PowerSystems.jl system can be created using a .RAW and a .DYR file. In this example we will create a three bus system from these example files:

julia> using PowerSystems
julia> file_dir = joinpath(pkgdir(PowerSystems), "docs", "src", "tutorials", "tutorials_data")"/home/runner/work/PowerSystems.jl/PowerSystems.jl/docs/src/tutorials/tutorials_data"
julia> RAW_dir = joinpath(file_dir, "ThreeBusNetwork.raw")"/home/runner/work/PowerSystems.jl/PowerSystems.jl/docs/src/tutorials/tutorials_data/ThreeBusNetwork.raw"
julia> DYR_dir = joinpath(file_dir, "TestGENCLS.dyr")"/home/runner/work/PowerSystems.jl/PowerSystems.jl/docs/src/tutorials/tutorials_data/TestGENCLS.dyr"

The data in the RAW file defines a three bus system with three generators, three loads and three branches:

Q

The dynamic data for the generators is provided in the DYR file:

  101 'GENROE' 1   8.000000  0.030000  0.400000  0.050000  6.500000  0.000000  1.800000
  1.700000  0.300000  0.550000  0.250000  0.200000  0.039200  0.267200  /
  101 'ESST1A' 1   1  1  0.01  99  -99  1  10  1  1  200  0  4  -4  4  -4  0  0  1  0  3  /
  102 'GENCLS' 1   0.0   0.0 /
  103 'GENCLS' 1   3.1   2.0 /

That assigns a GENROU generator and a ESST1A voltage regulator at the generator located at bus 101, while classic machine models for the generators located at bus 102 and 103.

To create the System in PowerSystems.jl, we pass both files directories:

Supported PSS/e Models

PSS/e's dynamic model library is extensive, we currently support parsing a limited amount of models out of the box.

Machine models	AVR Models	Prime Movers	PSS models
GENSAE	IEEET1	HYGOV	IEEEST
GENSAL	ESDC1A	IEEEG1
GENROE	ESAC1A	GGOV1
GENCLS	ESST4B
GENROU	EXAC2
	EXPIC1
	ESAC6A
	EXAC1
	SCRX
	ESDC2A

Common Issue: Unique Bus Names

Please note that while PSS/e does not enforce unique bus names, PowerSystems.jl does. To reparse bus names to comply with this requirement the bus_name_formatter *kwarg can be used in System() as shown in the example below:

julia> dyn_system = System(
           RAW_dir,
           DYR_dir;
           bus_name_formatter = x -> strip(string(x["name"])) * "-" * string(x["index"]),

In this example the anonymous function x -> strip(string(x["name"])) * "-" * string(x["index"]) takes the bus name and index from PSSe and concatenates them to produce the name.
