Partial Description of the IEEE Common Data Format for the
Exchange of Solved Load Flow Data The complete description can be found in the
paper
"Common Data Format for the Exchange of Solved Load Flow
Data",
Working Group on a Common Format for the Exchange of Solved Load
Flow Data, _IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems_, Vol. PAS-92, No.
6,November/December 1973, pp. 1916- 5
The data file has lines of up to 128 characters.
The lines are grouped into sections with section headers.
Data items are entered in specific columns. No blank items are
allowed, enter zeros instead. Floating point items should have explicit decimal
point. No implicit decimal points are used.
Data type codes:
A - Alphanumeric (no special characters>
I - Integer
F - Floating point * - Mandatory item
Title Data
First card in file.
Columns 2- 9 Date, in format DD/MM/YY with leading zeros. If no
date
