Hi -

I'm a newbie, thus apologise if my question is trivial.

I would like to examine some features of power-grid structures (for example, to compute shortest-path between two nodes). For this purpose, I would like to parse the grid structure from pss/e v30 format input files (raw + csv).

I only have access to pss/e raw input files and don't have access to any pss/e software.

Could anyone please share a link to a good description of the pss/e v30 raw format? Or a good open-source package that allow me to achieve that?

Thanks, Ron
