Hi!

I want to extract data from .out files, I do not need to run any power flow, dynamic simulation... so, my question is if I can use these libraries, psspy and dyntools without having the PSSE installed in the same PC.

Greetings!

You do not need PSSE running or a licence to extract data from out files. I do this constantly without opening PSSE and without a dongle. We have limited dongles in our office so this is a very handy trick.

As long as you do not run psspy or do a psspy init, you can run dyntools completely by itself which is all you need to extract the data. If you need psspy specific functions, then you will need your licence.

I run dyntools for extraction and plot in matplotlib

This is very good to know! Thank you @IanMelbourne93! I tag this answer as a solution (even though both answers do help, but this is a preferred one!)

@IanMelbourne93, could you share the code to run dyntools for extraction of data and then plot in matplotlib? Thanks in advance

Please see this answer here, there is some code that should do that. https://psspy.org/psse-help-forum/question/2617/plot-legend-for-dyntools/

Heyas, I'm fairly certain you need PSS/E since you still need to use the PSS/E libraries, and when I tried to run my scripts on a remote machine, I got license warnings even though I didn't launch the PSS/E GUI itself.

I was afraid of that. Well, since I am in developing mode it is ok. I will have to figure out a solution for that once I move to exploitation mode :) Thank you @SqFKYo
