ieeecomtrade

This is a package to help you work with IEEE COMTRADE files. Currently, this package is restricted to:

• COMTRADE 1999 format
• considers only configuration and data files
• data files must be ASCII

In time, it is hoped to lift these restrictions, particularly as the need may present itself.

Installation

This package is not yet on CRAN. However, you can install it from GitHub:

# install.packages("devtools")
install_github("ijlyttle/ieeecomtrade")

Usage

The central object in this package is a comtrade object. You can build a comtrade object by reading in the configuration and data files, or you can read a zip file that contains exactly one configuration file and exactly one data file.

Let's look at reading in some sample files provided with this package. As a first example, let's build a comtrade object by reading the configuration file and data file individually.

library("ieeecomtrade")

config <- 
  ct_example("keating_1999.CFG") %>%  # returns a file path
  ct_read_config()                    # returns a configuration object

data <- 
  ct_example("keating_1999.DAT") %>%
  ct_read_data_config(config)

keating <- comtrade(config = config, data = data)  

Similarly, you can read from a zip file

keating <- 
  ct_example("keating_1999.zip") %>%
  ct_read_zip()

If you want a data frame with scaled values and a timestamp:

ct_instant(keating)
