Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std C37.232-2011, IEEE Standard for Common Format for Naming Time Sequence Data Files (COMNAME). Microprocessor-based measurement an
3、d protection devices (digital devices) used in electric power substations produce large quantities of time sequence data (TSD) files that contain vast volumes of data about the power system. Additional TSD files are also produced while processing the original data and while performing maintenance an
4、d testing operations on the original devices. Many problems are associated with handling such large quantities of TSD files. The term handling means reporting, saving, archiving, exchanging, and so on. The problems are mainly due to the fact that currently there are too many different types of propr
5、ietary naming conventions in circulation. Work on this project began with the IEEE-PES-PSRC Communications Subcommittee task force HTF8 in 1999. Working group H8 then followed, and their report was posted in 2001. Their reported naming convention solved many problems that are associated with handlin
6、g the large quantities of TSD files. Their main objective was to define a common naming convention. In 2002 a new task force was formed to study the potential of developing the common naming convention into an IEEE standard. In 2003 this working group, also designated H8, was formed with the objecti
7、ve of writing this recommended practice. The recommended TSD filename is human readable and includes, among other features, key portions of the information contained in the file, including, but not limited to, the name of the circuit, substation, and recording device, and the date and time of initia
8、l occurrence. This was not easy to do under older operating systems, which limited file names to 11 characters, but now filenames of up to 253 characters are generally permitted.

Overview 1.1 Scope This standard defines a procedure for naming time sequence data (TSD) files that originate from digital protection and measurement devices, such as transient d
32、ata records, event sequences, and periodic data logs. The filename includes, among other features, key portions of the information contained in the file, including, but not limited to, the names of the circuit, substation, and recording device, and the date and time of event occurrence. 1.2 Purpose
33、The purpose of this standard is to define a procedure for naming TSD files, a procedure that is needed to resolve many problems that are associated with reporting, saving, exchanging, archiving, and retrieving large numbers of files. There is no other defined standard for naming such files at this t
34、ime. 1.3 General Filenames are essential for both operating systems and users. The filename is the systems key for unlocking the contents, and without friendly names (where key information about the file is in the 1 Copyright 2011 IEEE. All rights reserved.

35、mmon Format for Naming Time Sequence Data Files (COMNAME) 2 Copyright 2011 IEEE. All rights reserved. filename), the user will have trouble handling large numbers of files. Also, programs for analysis and trending applications have to automatically sift through and process large numbers of files. Re
36、ading file contents requires considerable disk access time especially for large files. But reading filenames is much faster because the filenames are stored separately from their contents in system files called allocation tables, and these tables can be quickly loaded with minimal disk access time.
37、Meaningful filenames provide software developers with the ability to write programs that can quickly manage and process large numbers of files. The hardware benefits as well from the reduced number of disk access operations. The alternative to meaningful filenames is to build and maintain a speciali
38、zed database. However, specialized databases are very costly to create and maintain, and they use extremely large memory structures. Accordingly, the recommended filename information is specified in comma-delimited format where commas are used to separate the information into multiple fields. Thus,
39、spreadsheet-like tables can be made from directory listings of filenames. Such tables provide users with an easy way to perform sort and query operations based on any one of the fields in the filename, in effect providing the same look and feel as any other specialized database application. 1.4 Need
40、 for this standard The standard naming convention has been gaining popularity and has so far been used by a nontrivial number of utilities, independent system operators, manufacturers, electric reliability commissions, and third-party developers. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC
41、) and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) have recommended the use of a common file naming convention. 2. Definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. The IEEE Standards Dictionary: Glossary of Terms $ % (i.e., question mark, quotation mark, f
42、orward slash, backward slash, less than, greater than, asterisk, pipe, colon, semi-colon, brackets, dollar sign, percent, and braces). Additionally, spaces in filenames may cause problems on most operating systems. filename character set: The set is composed of all UTF-8 or 7-bit ASCII (American Sta
43、ndard Code for Information Interchange) characters that are allowed in filenames on a particular operating system. NOTEFor UTF-8, see The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0 B11.3time sequence data (TSD) file: A TSD file is any type of electronic data file where each data item in the file corresponds to a
44、n instant of time that is identified by an explicit or implicit time tag, such as transient data records, event sequences, and periodic data logs. 1The IEEE Standards Dictionary: Glossary of Terms current CDs do not work with filenames that are more than 64 characters long; users who deal with thous
45、ands of long filenames per folder have also reported problems with their compression applications. However, given the rate of advancement in technology, it is highly possible that these limitations will soon vanish or become obsolete. The naming convention has been successfully tested under a variet
46、y of operating systems. 4.3 Required fields Start Date: The field is defined in a fixed numeric format that allows for sorting (yymmdd). The field width is six digits. The first two digits are for the year (0099), the second two digits are for the month (0112), and the last two digits are for the da
47、y (0131). For example, the code 010203 means the date is February 3, 2001 (leading zeros are required for values that are less than two digits wide). The Start Date is the date at which the first sample was recorded (the first sample in the file, physically). However, depending on the last character
48、 in the Time Code field, the Start Date could be the date at which the first trigger occurred (date at which the originating instrument initially triggered). This distinction is made because digital relays and digital fault recorders provide a pre-fault record before the fault record. It is up to th
49、e user to decide whether the Start Date is the date at which the first sample was recorded or is the date at which the first trigger occurred. By default, the Start Date is the date at which the first sample was recorded. If the last character of the Time Code is set to “t,” then the Start Date is the date at which the first trigger occurred. The Working Group has chosen to limit the year expression to two digits to limit the number of characters in the filename. The Working Group has carefully considered a four-digit year expression and has decided against
