Parsing MATPOWER Files

Originally Contributed by: Clayton Barrows

Introduction

An example of how to parse MATPOWER files and create a System using PowerSystems.jl

Dependencies

using PowerSystems
using TimeSeries

Fetch Data

PowerSystems.jl links to some test data that is suitable for this example. Let's download the test data

base_dir = PowerSystems.download(PowerSystems.TestData; branch = "master");

Create a System

sys = System(joinpath(base_dir, "matpower", "case5_re.m"))
sys
