powerio-dist

powerio-dist parses multiconductor distribution networks into a typed model in wire coordinates. It converts between OpenDSS .dss, PowerModelsDistribution ENGINEERING JSON, and the draft BMOPF schema from the IEEE PES Task Force on Benchmarking Multiconductor OPF (https://github.com/frederikgeth/bmopf-report).

Writing back to the source format reproduces the retained bytes. Cross format conversion reports fields the target cannot represent. The DSS reader expands OpenDSS class defaults into explicit model values and records which values came from defaults. BMOPF output therefore contains explicit values for those fields. The generated conversion matrix records behavior for each fixture in powerio-dist/docs/conversion-matrix.md.

let net = powerio_dist::parse_file("feeder.dss", None)?;
let pmd = net.to_format(powerio_dist::DistTargetFormat::PmdJson);
for w in &pmd.warnings {
    eprintln!("fidelity: {w}");
}

The same surface is available from the powerio CLI (powerio convert feeder.dss --to pmd-json), the Python package (powerio.dist), and the C ABI (pio_dist_*, behind the dist cargo feature of powerio-capi).

Fixtures live in tests/data/dist/ at the workspace root with provenance recorded in its README. The oracle harnesses under tools/ re-solve emitted .dss in OpenDSS and validate emitted PMD JSON against PowerModelsDistribution; CI runs the schema validation and round trip suites. For a local OpenDSS corpus, set POWERIO_DIST_LOCAL_DSS_CORPUS to a directory tree and run cargo test -p powerio-dist --test local_dss_corpus -- --nocapture; the test parses every .dss, writes BMOPF JSON, validates it against the vendored schema, reparses it, writes DSS, reparses that DSS, and checks that the second BMOPF JSON remains schema valid and stable up to JSON numeric rounding.
