Import Example Documentation

This guide demonstrates the basic usage of the function cim_import. The script can be found here.

First import the CIMpy module and set up the logger. If there is not a file set for the logger the output is printed to the console.

import logging
import cimpy
from pathlib import Path

logging.basicConfig(filename='importCIGREMV.log', level=logging.INFO, filemode='w')

Next we need the absolute path of the XML/RDF files.

example = Path('.').resolve()
sample_folder = example / 'examples' / 'sampledata' / 'CIGRE_MV'

sample_files = sample_folder.glob('*.xml')

xml_files = []
for file in sample_folder.glob('*.xml'):
    xml_files.append(str(file.absolute()))

In the next step the files given in xml_files_abs are imported:

import_result = cimpy.cim_import(xml_files, "cgmes_v2_4_15")

For more information about the function cim_import see Functions.

Finally we can print the created objects. In this example only objects of the classes ACLineSegment, PowerTransformer and EnergyConsumer are printed.

results = ["ACLineSegment", "PowerTransformer", "EnergyConsumer"]
for key, value in import_result['topology'].items():
    if value.__class__.__name__ in results:
        print(value.__str__())
