WindMil File Layouts

This guide defines the data structure used for the different types of files enabling the import or export of different types of databases.

Section File Layout (.STD)

Usage: This is a Standard ASCII file for importing or exporting a WindMil model.

Revision Date – 09/15/99

All records in the Standard WM ASCII Section File are delimited, not fixed.

You must place a comma (,) between each field.

If a field does not require a value, use two commas (,,) in place of the field value. The default value for that field will be used.

The delimiter should not end the last field of any given record.

You must enter the first four mandatory fields of each section on any line.

If the remaining values are to be defaulted, there is no need to add the two commas (,,) placeholders for every field.

You must place a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) at the end of each record.

Any data missing after a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) will be set to its default value.

The colon (:) comment field will be added at a later date.

You can place an optional header in the first record of the file to identify the file format and version. The header must resemble the following:

MILSOFT STD WM ASCII,001

A file with no header is assumed to be the latest version.

Each of the remaining records will describe the segment/section data for a single segment/section.

Only one record per section exists.

There is no specified record length, however, each record must end with a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) combination.

The following abbreviations are used to represent the data type used:

A Alphanumeric String any combination of characters & digits

SI Short Integer (2 bytes) (-32,768 to 32,767)

L Long Integer (4 bytes) -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

F Floating Point Real 3.4x10** - 38 to 3.4x10**38

Note A floating point value does not have to be stored with a decimal point, if not necessary. (Example: 1000.0 can be stored as 1000)

Section File Layout Notes

Modified - 10/21/98

Note Description

M Mandatory Field This field is required. A comma (,) cannot be used in place of the required value, as it will cause a fatal error.

3P For all 3-phase fields marked with this comment:If all values on all existing phases are identical, you only need to put the value in one of the fields. The two commas (,,) must still be placed in the file as a placeholder for these fields.

For 3-phase equipment, (regulators, conductors, and line sections):Use the value NONE if the field does not actually have a value and at least one of the 3-phase fields has a value.

Example

For an overcurrent device:

The following creates a 3-phase section with all devices set to 5-H OCR

OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR,,

OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR



The following creates a 3-phase section with device on Phases A and B set to5-H OCR and Phase C having no device, (very unlikely case).

OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR,,NONE

The following creates a 3-phase section with phases having no devices. (Not recommended, as it can later cause problems.)

OCR-1,10,7,ROOT

Note Description

10 Overcurrent Device11 Motor12 Generator

3 Section Phase Configuration This code describes the configuration or phasing of the segment.

Valid codes are:

1 A2 B3 C4 AB5 AC6 BC7 ABC

4 Parent Section Identifier The parent section is the upstream section from which this section receives its power. If “0” or “ROOT”, no parent exists. Valid entries are up to 15 characters in length. If the parent section identifier does not match any other sections in the database, the parent identifier will be set to “ROOT” and a warning will be generated.

12


Note Description

5 Map Number This alphanumeric string specifies the map location of the load end of the section. This field can be up to 20 characters in length.

6 X and Y Coordinates The geographical coordinate of the section. For a section with length, it is the coordinate of the load end of the section. The coordinates of the source side are the same as the load side coordinates of the prior section. If no prior segment/section exists, the section will appear of length zero on the screen and will have to be resolved later. For segments/sections with no length, the coordinates should be the same as the prior section's coordinates.

7 Preferred Section Name Used only by mapping systems for model reduction. Applicable to all segment types except Overhead and Underground Lines. If non-null, this identifier supersedes the section number. The default is NULL and the alphanumeric string may be up to 15 characters in length.

8 Conductor Description An up to 20-character string that will be compared to the conductor labels stored in the MILSOFT Equipment Database: Eqdb. If the field is non-null, an exact match is searched for in the Equipment Tables. If no match is found, a Conductor is added to the equipment database with default values and a warning is generated. The default is NULL. See Note 3P on page 11.

9 Construction Description An up to 20-character string that will be compared to the Construction Type labels stored in the MILSOFT Equipment Database: Eqdb. If the field is non-null, an exact match is searched for in the Equipment Tables.

10 Load Mix Description An up to 20-character string that will be compared to the Load Mix labels stored in the MILSOFT Equipment Database: Eqdb. If the field is non-null, an exact match is searched for in the Equipment Tables. If no match is found, a Load Mix is added to the equipment database with default values and a warning is generated. The default is NULL. When NULL, nothing is added to the equipment database.

11 Load Zone Description An up to 20-character string that will be compared to the Load Zone labels stored in the MILSOFT Equipment Database: Eqdb. If the field is non-null, an exact match is searched for in the Equipment Tables. If no match is found, a Load Mix is added to the equipment database with default values and a warning is generated. The default is NULL. When NULL, nothing is added to the equipment database.

21 Capacitor Switch On/Off Settings For switched capacitors, the value at which the switch will turn on or off is based upon the controlled state of the switch. Units are based upon the value of the Capacitor Switch Type. When the Capacitor Switch Type is Voltage, Per Unit, Current or Reactive amps, the On/Off Settings are in per unit. Otherwise if the type is Time, on/off value in minutes from midnight, or if Temperature, in degrees Centigrade. The default setting is 0.
