#Reading cdf files r movie

LF ENERGY follows similar flagship exercises by the Linux Foundation in the automotive and movie production areas. You could email Shuli Goodman, Executive Director, LF Energy Foundation for an update. ENTSO-E hosted an introductory event in August 2018.Ī promotional video on the LF ENERGY site talks about a “ common grid model”. To formalize this, the Linux Foundation launched LF ENERGY in July 2018 with French transmission system provider RTE. I spoke to Mike Dolan, Linux Foundation some months back and data is not part of their current discussions. Whether the accompanying data will also be open is another matter. This will be a multi‑year project though. As that initiative proceeds, it will almost certainly be supplemented by the development of open standards for data interchange.

#Reading cdf files r software

Hi The Linux Foundation have been talking to ENTSO‑E about the use and development of open source software for grid operations. That way each modelling software could develop a simply conversion utility between the CDF and their internal structure, required for their needs (ex.: python object for each element). Ideally the standard should cover both the data structure (ex.: buses, branches, transformers, generators) and the file format (ex.: JSON, SQLite3). It would allow me to very easily add other open modelling softwares to the mix, without having to spend hours converting from one data format to the other. A truly standard open CDF would greatly simplify development and hopefully enforce sane practices (ex.: no storing of calculated data in the CDF). Is there already an open standard being discussed? Is there already an open CDF modders should aim to integrate to their applications to facilitate data exchange between modelling softwares? If so please let it not be XML…įor example I’m currently developping a software that extracts a network’s information from an excel file, builds a SQLite3 database (my custom format, tailored for my specific needs), and converts it to PyPSA, GridCal and PSS/E to either run simulations using these tools or simply exchange in what appears to be the current CDF in use (PSS/E). I’ve found a lot of information on CDF’s for energy models (i.e.: Do-a-thon: Draft for 'energy' datapackage standard (?)), some for transient data (IEEE C37.111), but not much for the power system detailed description. I’m wondering how close (or far) we are to a truly standard, common data format (CDF) for describing power systems? The IEEE CDF is outdated and it looks like the raw PSS/E format is unofficially recognized as the “standard” data exchange format between commercial softwares.
