Abstract :
A new IEEE standard developed by the IEEE PES Power System Relaying Committee is described. It is intended for use by digital-computer-based devices which generate or collect transient data from electric power systems. The standard should facilitate exchange of the transient data for the purpose of simulation, testing, validation, or archival storage. An overview of the IEEE Standard (C37.111), which should be referred to for a full description of the types and structures of the data files, is provided. The COMTRADE standard specifies a common format for transient data exchange. This format will be used by people needing to send power system transient data originating in one format to someone else who uses a different format
