[FEATURE] *Direct Handling of Electrical Parameters in JSON Interface*

[scud-soptim]

Description

This feature introduces the capability to directly handle electrical parameters (r, x, g, b) within the JSON interface of the Power Grid Model (PGM). This enhancement aims to eliminate the need for conversion between transformer parameters and electrical parameters, thereby improving accuracy and simplifying the data handling process.

Detailed Description

1. Current Process:

   • In CGMES data, only electrical parameters (r, x, g, b) are provided.
   • A CGMES-PGM converter has been created to transform these electrical parameters into transformer parameters.
   • The Power Grid Model then converts these transformer parameters back into electrical parameters for calculations.

2. Proposed Change:

   • Enable the JSON interface of the Power Grid Model to accept electrical parameters (r, x, g, b) directly.
   • Modify the internal data handling and processing functions to work with these electrical parameters without requiring intermediate conversion to transformer parameters.

3. Benefits:

   • Increases the accuracy of the data by avoiding multiple conversions.
   • Simplifies the data exchange process between CGMES and PGM.
   • Reduces computational overhead and potential sources of errors.
