PhasorToolBox

The goal of PhasorToolBox is to provide a Synchrophasor Protocol (IEEE C37.118.2-2011 Standard) parser as well as tools that are easy to use and efficient for real-time parsing.

Tested on RedHat 7.2 with Python 3.6

Performance:

The average time to parse a single packet, where the data messages have four substations and 594 data fields, is 1 ms on a 2012 mac laptop. According to IEEE C37.118.2-2011 Standard, the typical range of delay caused by PDC processing & alignment is 2 ms to 2+ s. The methods provided by the client module are coroutines. That makes it possible to connects to hundreds of PMUs/PDCs at the same time with minimal overhead.

To install and test the performance of the package on your device:

git clone https://github.com/sonusz/PhasorToolBox.git
cd PhasorToolBox/
python3 setup.py install --user  --prefix=
python3 parse_stream.py stream.bin

Update May 11, 2018, Version 0.3

Supports all four connection methods (TCP only, UDP only, TCP/UDP mixed, and UDP Spontaneous).

Add PhasorMessage.show() method.

Reconstructed Client and PDC modules.

Removed uvloop.

Bug fix.

Update Mar 16, 2018

Add examples and tutorials in the example folder.

Update Jan 13, 2018, Version 0.2

Add PcapParser().

Now you can parse synchrophasor messages from a pcap file.

Usage:

from phasortoolbox import PcapParser
my_pcap_parser = PcapParser()
msgs = my_pcap_parser.from_pcap('path/to/pcap/file.pcap')

To do:

Configuration 3 message scale factor calculations.
