COMTRADE / PQDIF Conversion

The IEEE has two standards that are capable of representing waveform data gathered by fault recorders, protective relays, power quality meters and similar devices for the purpose of electronic information exchange. Although there is some overlap between the two in their application space, both standards have been optimized for different purposes. Even so, there often is a need to convert data from one format to the other for the data types that both are capable of representing. This paper discusses the issues associated with those conversions
