Event Data Ingestion

Dashboard capabilities

• We read your recordings automatically in the formats your equipment produces: supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) workbooks, Common Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) records (.cfg/.dat and .cff), and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) event reports (.cev) and compressed event reports (.evzip), including mixed SEL fleets such as the SEL-387A, archives that hold several reports, and dual-breaker records. A file we cannot read is listed with the reason, and a file in a format we do not support is kept and listed as unsupported.
• The recordings of one incident are grouped into one event: a relay's event report beside its own COMTRADE record, two relays recording one fault, and a reclose sequence of up to 60 seconds. Each recording's role (tripped, picked up, recorded, or duplicate) is read from its own digital data, and a primary record is chosen by rule (the tripped record, else the highest voltage level, else the earliest). You can merge or separate recordings and change the primary record by hand; your edits are kept and logged.
• Each event opens with a summary of what the record shows: the relay and its location, the trigger time in your plant's time zone, the elements that asserted and the first trip, the fault type from the phases that excursed, the clearing time, and whether the record sits at the point of interconnection or on a collector feeder. The summary is built from fixed rules, with no generated free text, and prefills the summary of event in any workflow you open from the event.
• Each event lists what to do next from the screening results of the event-analysis modules you hold: open a standard's workflow when a check fails, request the point-of-interconnection record when only a feeder record is in hand, request turbine or inverter and plant controller data where items cannot be assessed, and restore time synchronization when a relay clock is implausible. Episodes found in your SCADA day exports are linked to the relay events that fall inside them.
• Your relay gateway can push files over SFTP to your plant's intake account, and your recorders, historians, or integration platforms can post files to the REST endpoint under company-scoped credentials that we issue and revoke. Files become event records on your plant within a minute, a file sent twice yields one record, and a credential for one company can never place a file on another company's plant.
• You receive documentation of the endpoint with an example request for each supported format (COMTRADE .cfg/.dat and .cff, SEL .evzip and .cev, and SCADA workbooks).
