Thanks, Richard. I was able to get it to export an example case. Just had to add "--platform=linux/amd64” to the build target to get it to build correctly in a docker container hosted on my Mac (Apple Silicon processor).

The default make target should build a command line version of OpenDSS inside a Docker container. I use the make cp target to copy the binary onto my host Linux system. You can also mount the .dss files you want to convert to a Docker volume at /workspace in the container. It's not very well tested. Let me know if you run into any difficulties.

It seems to be the kind of simple format I’m looking for. Is there more documentation somewhere? And do you have a tool that can read an OpenDSS case and export it to these CSV files?

I developed a file format based on the circuit model for a Rust rewrite of OpenDSS that I have been working on: https://github.com/cktcsv Notable features include: * Reusable definitions of wire data (conductor types), line geometries, load shapes, spectrums etc. * Impedances specified in triangular matrix form. * Transformers with N windings (not just 2, or 3). * The syntax for specifying terminal connections (e.g. "sourcebus.1.2.3") is very powerful when it comes to connecting different phases. * No bus type (they are just strings) "Distribution System Modeling and Analysis" by Kersting seems to have been an important text in the development of the model and is highly regarded. Time-series simulation was one of the first features that I implemented in Rust as it seems to be widely used. Taking load shapes for a day/week/year and checking for overloads (using Monitors to record values to file) is quite a common task. While not a core feature of OpenDSS, state estimation at the distribution level seems to be increasingly important. There are linearized algorithms that are very quick and often suffice. This sometimes seems to be combined with optimal PMU placement using linear programming. Looking forward to the call later.

If this is a feature you would find useful and would be interested in a discussion to help guide the design of MATPOWER’s three-phase modeling, I would love to hear from you. I would particularly value input from those who have experience with other tools for distribution power flow and OPF with ideas of what they would like to see in MATPOWER. So, if interested, please reply to me off-list at i...@matpower.org<mailto:i...@matpower.org?subject=three-phase%20modeling%20in%20MATPOWER> and I will plan to set up a call with a group of interested parties soon.
