Import a power system consisting of 3-phase BUS3 and LINE3 components discribed in a text file.

The elements could be separated with tab, comma, semi-colon, space, or user defined character.

File format:

Header {Any number of line describing the case. When importing the user is asked which line to start importing at}

Name

Is there is a space in the name it must be enclosed by ' or "; "BUS 1"

CoorCode

0: Coordinates unknown; calculate by optimization. Not supported in v. 6.1

1: GPS coordinates (-90..90 deg).

2: Cartesian coordinates in arbitrary units.

The coordinates are recalculated to make the shortest line having a length of 100 pixels. Any (sensitive) GPS position data is not stored.

Type

0: Overhead line

1: Underground cable

2: Transformer 2-winding. Not supported in v. 6.1.

3: Transformer 3-winding. Not supported in v. 6.1.
