7.1 RECORD FORMAT
Records comply with the COMTRADE standard IEEE C37.111-1999, IEEE Standard Common Format for
Transient Data Exchange for Power Systems . The ".dat", ".hdr", ".cfg", ".inf" and ".tri" files are zipped
together in a ".zic" ( zi pped c omtrade) file for faster transmission.
The ".zic" files are created following the RFC 1951, DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification.
The ".hdr" files have the information about the Reason for the trigger and the location of the fault, the
md5sum of the ".dat" and ".cfg" files, and the status of the equipment when the record was created.
The ".inf" files have the groups and the power lines parameters. The data are formatted according to the
requirements of Alstom's Analise software.
The ".tri" files have the sequence of digital events. The data was formatted according to the requirements of
Alstom's Analise software.
