Getting Started

Cim2BusBranch is ment to be a connection between PyCIM and PYPOWER.

It transform a dict of CIM objects into the bus/branch model which can be used for load flow analyses with e.g. PYPOWER (or virtually any other tool that is based on a bus/branch topology).

Installation

pip install cim2busbranch

Basic Usage

A first example:

>>> import cim2busbranch, PyCIM, pypower.api as pypower
>>> cim_topo = PyCIM.cimread('example.rdf')
>>> bb_topo = cim2busbranch.transform(cim_topo)
>>> pypower.runpf(bb_topo.to_pypower())

The examples above can be written even shorter:

>>> import cim2busbranch as c2bb, pypower.api as pypower
>>> pypower.runpf(c2bb.transform_to_pypower('example.xml'))

Of course, you can also do some more complex things with Cim2BusBranch. The next chapters cover some of the more advanced use cases.
