Linux Foundation Energy has announced the 1.6 release series of Power Grid Model (PGM), including the PGM serialization feature. PGM is a high-performance Python/C++ library for steady-state distribution power system analysis.
New Feature: PGM Serialization
In this release we introduced PGM serialization. Now you can load and dump PGM datasets from/to json or msgpack buffers/files. Please have a look at the documentation and examples.
Deprecation of Old JSON import/export functions
The old import_json_data and export_json_data functions are deprecated. The functions will be removed in the future. The users are strongly suggested to use the new serialization format and functions.
Breaking Changes in C-API
To further improve the interoperability of the C-API, we introduced the dataset concept in the C-API. This is a breaking change for all model related functions: creation, update, calculate. Please refer to the new examples to see how you should call the new C-API.
There are no breaking changes in the Python API!
