Measuring relays and protection equipment - Part 24: Common format for transient data exchange (COMTRADE) for power systems

IEC 60255-24:2013 defines a format for files containing transient waveform and event data collected from power systems or power system models. The format is intended to provide an easily interpretable form for use in exchanging data. The standard is for files stored on currently used physical media such as portable external hard drives, USB drives, flash drives, CD, and DVD. This standard defines a common format for the data files and exchange medium needed for the interchange of various types of fault, test, and simulation data. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
- this new edition allows single file format (with extension .CFF) in lieu of four separate files;
- the single file with .CFF extension contains four sections of information corresponding to .CFG, .INF, .HDR, and .DAT. The DAT section is either in ASCII or Binary;
- the following additional data file types are also supported: binary32 and float32.

Relais de mesure et dispositifs de protection - Partie 24: Format commun pour l'échange de données transitoires (COMTRADE) dans les réseaux électriques

La CEI 60255-24:2013 établit un format pour les fichiers contenant des données sur les événements et les formes d'ondes des transitoires obtenus à partir des réseaux électriques ou de leur modélisation. Le format est destiné à fournir une forme facilement interprétable pour une utilisation dans l'échange de données. La norme est destinée aux fichiers stockés sur des supports physiques actuellement utilisés tels que des disques durs externes portables, des clés USB, des disques à mémoire flash, des CD et des DVD. La présente norme établit un format commun pour les fichiers de données et le support d'échange nécessaire pour échanger des données de différents types sur les défauts, les essais et la simulation. Les principales différences par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes:
- cette nouvelle édition autorise un seul format de fichier (avec extension .CFF) à la place de quatre fichiers séparés;
- l'unique fichier avec extension .CFF contient quatre sections d'information correspondant à .CFG, .INF, .HDR, et .DAT. La section DAT est en codage ASCII ou Binaire;
- les types de fichiers de données complémentaires suivants sont également pris en charge: binary32 et float32.
