Utilities for interacting with OpenDSS

OpenDSS is a distribution system simulation platform. This repository provides a few methods to interact with OpenDSS using Python through the COM interface. It is fully based on the YouTube lectures by Paulo Radatz on OpenDSS - COM interface with Python..

Usage

You can clone the repository from GitHub with following commands:

git clone https://github.com/sibyjackgrove/OpenDSS-utilities.git

Place the OpenDSS_basics.py within the desired folder and import the DSS class as shown :

from OpenDSS_utilities import DSS

Dependencies: OpenDSS, pywin32

---

Note: I could not get pywin32 to work on Python 3.5 or higher. So I could only test the code on Python 2.7 (32 bit).

---

Examples

Usage of the class is descirbed in this Jupyter notebook.
