[FEATURE] PSS/E conversion to PGM

As requested during the 4th PGM meet-up

Hi! I'm interested in this however I need clarity on following:

1. PSS/E is not open-source, neither it's documentation, I'm not sure if ".raw" file formats are public, so can we use docs from limited trial versions (e.g. student version). Just to make sure, there's no legal complication in this regard.
2. PSS/E ".raw" file formats are version dependent, as a start we may create conversion for only 1 version of PSS/E. I'll prefer PSS/E V33.0 as higher versions of PSS/E are also able to generate this, so it'll be compatible for PSS/E V33 and onwards.
3. Can we start with limited features/ basic elements in the start and successively improve for full support of all elements supported by PGM.

and it'll be PSSE to PGM only, as ".raw" does not include results, so "PGM to PSSE" does not make sense.

Hi @furqan463,

Thank you for bumping the topic and raising your concerns. That's useful input.

You mention you are interested in this. Are you interested in the feature in general, or are you interested in contributing the feature?

Regarding the concerns you have regarding license, I guess this is something that would need some serious digging into the possibilities. @petersalemink95 do you have any thoughts?

Any additional input is more than welcome!
