An approach of data sharing applied to production simulation software

With the development of computer technology in power grid, many scientific research institutions devote to software development for power system production simulation. However, a large amount of raw data required by the software is saved as PSD-BPA data files which are commonly used in China's power system. Aiming at reducing the time for data handling which usually involves with heavy workload and much time consuming, a data sharing approach is proposed to realize the data conversion from PSD-BPA to other production simulation software. On basis of the approach, data is firstly extracted from PSD-BPA files and converted into objective data according to the data model of production simulation. In this paper, data is stored in database tables and the data connection is established by table mapping. The feasibility of the approach is validated by a case test of certain China's provincial grid. The approach has remarkably improved working efficiency.
