Description / Abstract:
This standard defines a format for files containing event data
such as sequence of events or fault summary reports collected from
power systems or power system models. The format is intended to
provide an easily interpretable form for use in exchanging
data.
Purpose
This standard defines a common format for the data files needed
for the exchange of various types of power network events in order
to facilitate event data integration and analysis from multiple
data sources and from different vendor devices. The flexibility
provided by digital devices in recording network fault event data
in the electric utility industry has generated the need for a
standard format for the exchange of data. These data are being used
with various devices to enhance and automate the analysis, testing,
evaluation, and simulation of power systems and related protection
schemes during fault and disturbance conditions. Since each source
of data may use a different proprietary format, a common data
format is necessary to facilitate the exchange of such data between
applications. This will facilitate the use of proprietary data in
diverse applications and allow users of one proprietary system to
use digital data from other systems.
