CSV2B3D

CSV to B3D V4 converter written in Go. B3D is a binary format for Powerworld (TM) Simulator used to store time- and spatially-varying geoelectric field data. This assumes that latitude and longitude points are set on a uniform grid ranging between -180 and + 180 degrees. Non-uniform grids are currently not supported.

For more information on the B3D file format, refer to the PowerWorld (TM) documentation:

https://www.powerworld.com/knowledge-base/b3d-file-format

Running

To Build: go build csv2b3d.go

To Run: csv2b3d <csvfile> <b3dfile>

Batch Conversion: For an example of a PowerShell 7.x script to process a folder of input CSV files in parallel, see Csv2B3d.ps1

Expected CSV Format

The input CSV file is expected to have a header line and data lines in the following order:

  1. Latitude (-180 to +180 degrees)
  2. Longitude (-180 to +180 degrees)
  3. West-East component of electric field
  4. South-North component of electric field
