IEEE C37.111-1991 pdf download.IEEE Standard Common Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power Systems.
The rapid evolution and implementation of digital devices for fault and transient data recording and testing in the electric utility industry has generated the need for a standard format for the exchange of such data for use with various devices to enhance and automate the analysis, testing, evaluation, and simulation of the power system and related protection schemes during fault and disturbance conditions.
Purpose
IEEE C37.111-1991 defines a common format for the data files and exchange medium needed for the interchange of various types of fault, test, or simulation data.
Abstract:A common format for the data files and exchange medium needed for the interchange of various types of fault, test, or simulation data is defined. Sources of transient data are described, and the case of diskettes as an exchange medium is recommended. Issues of sampling rates, filters, and sample rate conversions for transient data being exchanged are discussed. Files for data exchange are specified, as is the organization of the data. A sample file is given.
Keywords : Configuration file , data file , header file , transient data.
1.2 Need for a Common Format
The proliferation and implementation of digital devices for the acquisition, analysis, simulation, and testing of powersystem equipment has made available a profusion and variety of data that has not been readily available in the past. Since this data may come from a variety of sources, from different manufacturers using proprietary or other standard formats, a common format standard is necessary to facilitate the exchange of such data between devices with diverse applications but that have the capability of utilizing digital data from other devices.
2. Sources of Transient Data
There are several possible sources of transient data for exchange.
