  1. CIM Standards: Status, Testing, and CollaborationRandy RhodesCIMug Utility Co-Chair EMS Users Conference September 15, 2009

  2. CIM Standards What is the CIM? Who is UCAIug and IEC? How is the CIM Used? How is the Model Developed? How Can Utilities Get Involved?

  3. What is the CIM? A Unified Modeling Language (UML) based information model representing real-world objects and information entities exchanged within the value chain of the electric power industry Maintained by IEC in the Sparx Enterprise Architect modeling tool Enable integration of applications/systems Provides a common model behind all messages exchanged between systems Basis for defining information exchange models Enable data access in a standard way Common language to navigate and access complex data structures in any database Provides a hierarchical view of data for browsing and access with no knowledge of actual logical schema Inspiration for logical data schemas (e.g., for an operational data store) Not tied to a particular application’s view of the world But permits same model to be used by all applications to facilitate information sharing between applications

  4. Benefits of Using CIM Data model driven solutions leads to interoperability Provides common semantics for information exchange between heterogeneous systems Provides for automatic generation of message payloads in XML Ensures common language for all messages defined Avoids proprietary message formats from vendors Eliminates work of creating XML tags for each message Alternative to EDI or CSV file formats Uses industry standard modeling notation UML, XML Permits software tool usage for: Defining and maintaining data models Single point of maintenance for changes Documenting data models Automatic generation of information payloads Click to Learn More about CIM • CIMug Site (www.cimug.org) • Recent Presentations • Ask for Help • FAQs Open a guest account!

  5. CIM Documentation CIM documentation is split into 5 major categories 61970-1: Guidelines and General Requirements Describes the component based reference model Includes general capabilities for integration infrastructure 61970-2: Glossary 61970-3xx: Common Information Model 301: Paper copy of the model Published yearly by IEC Latest version: CIM13, v19 Electronic copy on CIMug web site 61970-4xx: Component Interface Specifications (CIS) Interfaces that a component should implement to be able to exchange information with other components Information content (messages) that a component exchanges 2 major divisions 401 – 449: Generic service specifications 450 – 499: Specific information exchange requirements 61970-5xx: CIS Technology Mappings RDF Schema, Web Services Profile, OWL Schema, XML format, Graphics Exchange

  6. Who is IEC and UCAIug? • The International Electrotechnical Commission (www.iec.ch) is “the world's leading organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies” • UCA International Users Group (www.ucaiug.org), a non-profit dedicated to promoting standards, has Liaison status with IEC • CIM Users Group (www.cimug.org) is one of several groups within UCAIug • UCAIug and CIMug members can review draft standards • Non-Members can not access draft standards

  7. CIM Usage Survey 2008 Responses (22) AES Eletropaulo Alabama Power Company CenterPoint Energy COES EDF EMS - Elektromreza Srbije ERCOT Essent Exelon Corporation Hydro-Quebec Idaho Power Manitoba Hydro Oncor Electric Delivery PacifiCorp PJM Interconnection Powerlink Queensland Progress Energy Seattle City Light Southern California Edison Statnett SF TVA Western Area Power Administration Contributed by Gartner, Inc. in December 2008 for the CIM Users Group 2006 Responses (21) • AEP • AESO • Alabama Power • CenterPoint • Cleco* • ConEd* • EDF • ERCOT • ETRANS • Exelon • FinGrid • Hydro Quebec • ONS • PacifiCorp • PJM • RTE* • SCE • SDG&E • SRP* • TVA • TXU • Western Area Power Administration * Note: Had Known CIM Projects in 2006 Survey but did not respond to 2008 Survey

  8. How is CIM Used? (2008 Survey Results)

  9. CIM Use by Business Function

  10. Total Number of Applications Affected by CIM = 127

  11. How is the Model Developed? CIM Issues Interoperability Tests UML Model and Profile Changes CIM for Dynamics CIM for Planning UCTE ERCOT CIM for Distribution IEC Approval CIM Release 13

  12. Industry Activity Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2009 2010 2008 (Actual) Finalize UML and Produce CIM 14 Release UCTE Interoperability Test CPSM Interoperability Test Dynamics Interoperability Test Resolve Issues from Interoperability Tests 2009 (Planned)

  13. New Industry Activity CIM for Planning Interop Washington, D.C. - November 12-13, 2008 Participants: Areva (source model only) GE, Siemens-PTI CIMSpy – results validation Scope Import & export planning model files Solving power flows Did not include dynamic models Results: Passed all tests

  14. UCTE Interop UCTE represents operators in 24 European countries Paris - March 23-27, 2009 Ten products from eight vendors Areva T&D CESI-BU Electric Power Systems DigSilent Electricity of France EPS Software RTE/Tractebel Siemens PTI SISCO Scope Three test models (10, 21, and 9200 nodes) 40 participants including witnesses from 10 TSOs Model import/export with CIM XML-RFD files Solving power flows Exchanging solved cases A Significant Success New Industry Activity

  15. CIM Site Activity – Prior Year 14,252 visits came from 1,367 cities in 97 countries across 19 subcontinents

  16. CIM Site Visitors – Top 25 Countries

  17. Site Statistics • UCAIug Site • Size: 305 Mb • Site Accounts: 2,662 (adding 3-4 per day) • Bandwidth: 233 Mb/day (uploads/downloads) • CIMug Site • Size: 2.923 Gb • Active Users: 1150 • Bandwidth: 282 Mb/day • IECTC57 Site: • Size: 1.837 Gb • Active Users: 410 • Bandwidth: 713 Mb/day

  18. How Can Utilities Get Involved? Promote CIM-based integration as your company standard, to reduce project costs Attend a CIM Users Group meeting tutorial Join UCA International Users Group Participate in projects to extend the CIM Participate in interoperability tests Think long-term Don’t settle for less than your company deserves

  19. Sample UCAIug Members Currently 139 companies in 45 countries

  20. CIM-Based Integration for the Smart Grid – Fact or Fantasy? Only one of these “environmentally conscious skyscrapers” is not under construction…http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/695/

  21. We Don’t Allow This For Wires Why would we allow it for information?

  22. Questions? For further discussion, contact: Randy.Rhodes@Gartner.com A new Utility Co-Chair will be appointed at the fall CIMug meeting. To be held at EPRI offices in Charlotte, NC Date: November 10-13, 2009 Official meeting announcement will go out soon…stay tuned to http://cimug.ucaiug.org/Meetings/Charlotte2009
