    Does anyone have experience using GIC harm? I am trying to convert a PSS/E .raw file into a .dss file with the converter tool in GIC harm, but it crashes with an error. What could be the issue?

    Hy,

    You're working with a pre-release version of GICharm. That version will be updated soon. The new version has an improved converter that I think will solve the issue you’re experiencing now.

    I’ll reply again once the new release becomes available for download.

    The issue you're experiencing is related to the PSS/E RAW file version you're using (Is it version 34?). Does your RAW fiel include headers for each gropup of elements? (Some lines starting with "!@" )

    Thanks,

    Andres

      Hi Andres,

      Yes, it is version 34 (and some lines start with "!@"). I tried using a raw file from PSSE version 33, but it crashes immediately when loading the raw file into the converter tool. Using the PSSE 34 version, GIC harm is able to recognize all of the circuit elements when I load in the raw file, but it's unable to convert them into .dss file.

      When should I expect for the new version of GICharm to be released?

      Thank you,
      Hy Luu

    Hi Hy,

    I do not have a exact date to give you but I know it will be sometime within the next 30 days. I will reply to your message again to let you know once it's avaiable. Out of curiosity, what element groups (generators, buses, branches, transformers.. ) does your raw file have? Are you using a PSS/E gic file as well?

    Best regards,

    Andres

    "# -------------- These are the types of elements found in the raw file ------------------ #

    dict_keys(['SYSTEM-WIDE', 'BUS', 'LOAD', 'FIXED SHUNT', 'GENERATOR', 'BRANCH', 'TRANSFORMER', 'AREA', 'TWO-TERMINAL DC', 'VSC DC LINE', 'MULTI-SECTION LINE', 'ZONE', 'OWNER', 'FACTS DEVICE', 'SWITCHED SHUNT'])"

    I'm not using GIC files right now.

    Thank you,
    Hy Luu

    Thanks Hy,

    The upcomming pre-release version should work properly with the listed elements. Again, I'll let you know once it's avaialble. In the meantime, if you want I can take a look at your RAW file and test it with the current version of the converter.

    Please let me know what works best for you,

    Best regards,

    Andres

    The .raw file we're using that makes the tool crash cannot be shared. Instead I have attached another .raw file we're testing. When I use the tool on this .raw file, it doesn't crash, but it seems like there are some warnings. Will you take a look?

    Thank you,
    Hy Luu

    Hi Hy,

    Just checked your raw file with the most recent version of the converter. The converted files are atached. Here is a screenshot of the converter GUI with your file. This set of files can be used with OpenDSS. Just a reminder, for the converted files to be usable in GICharm you need to load the gic file.

    Please let me know if you have questions.

    Thanks,

    Andres

    Hi Hy,

    The new version of GICharm has been relesed. You'll be able to get it from the same link you used to get the previous version or by looking for it throught EPRI's website (https://www.epri.com/#/pages/product/000000003002014854/?lang=en-US)

    Thanks,

    Andres
