How to add a extra digit on the bus numbers

How easy would it be to create a python script to simply add a sixth number to all bus bars in a given network? For example we have “bus 101” and I would like to have “Bus 100101” but ensuring we have all branches, Transformers, load generators being updated as well. What will the code be, and is there an existing script for it.

You can use BUS_NUMBER. Check section 2.8 in the API-document. I'm pretty sure the following should do the trick:

ierr, iarray = abusint(-1, 2, 'NUMBER')  # Get bus numbers
                                         # -1 is to use a subsystem with all buses
                                         # 2 is to include all buses, not only in-service buses

for x in range(0,len(iarray)):
    ierr = psspy.bus_number(iarray[x],100000+iarray[x])  # Change bus numbers
                                         # iarray[x] is the current bus number
                                         # 100000+iarray[x] is the new bus number

PSS/E should automagically change the bus numbers for all other equipment.

Hope this helped!
