This is version 1.0 of GridKit 'for Scientists'. GridKit is a power extraction toolkit for OpenStreetMap.
Its purpose is to convert the geographical features of power structures in OpenStreetMap to a topological network that can be used for power system analysis. In other words, to connect the individual lines and stations into a network.
GridKit has been developed in the context of the SciGRID project with the same aims.
Attached to this release is a current export of the European high-voltage network.
