comtrade-rs

Warning: this library is a WIP and not yet ready for production usage.

This library provides a native Rust library for parsing COMTRADE (Common format for Transient Data Exchange for power systems) files, containing oscillography and status data for power system disturbances.

Implementation status

| Task | Status | | ---- | ------ | | Implement parsing .cfg files (encoded in ASCII) | Working (1991, 1999, 2013) | | Implement parsing .cfg files (encoded in UTF-8) | Todo | | Implement parsing .cfg files (encoded in other encodings such as latin1) | Todo | | Implement parsing ACSII data files | Todo | | Implement parsing binary16 data files | Todo | | Implement parsing binary32 data files | Todo | | Implement parsing float32 data files | Todo | | Implement loading separate files from combined 2013 .cff format. | Working (1991, 1999, 2013) | | Implement retrieval of actual analog data values using primary vs. secondary factors, offsets, etc. | Todo | | Implement calculation of real time based on skews, time multipliers, etc. | Todo |

Getting started

Todo: once ready, deploy to crates.io.

Usage

Todo: document usage.

Todo

• Current test files all have only one sample rate - can I find a COMTRADE file with > 1 sample rate for purpose of testing comprehensiveness?
• Clean up error messages - maybe have consistent format including filename and line number?
• No test files with continuously variable sample rate.
