Network Model ManagementWhy Network Models Matter

1. Network model data is crucial enabler of the future grid vision

Augmented with geo-location and asset data

Huge potential for enterprise-wide data insight

– Storm preparation / damage assessment / restoration

– Operating condition visualization

– Asset health insight and proactive asset management

– Integration of distributed energy resources

Network Model ManagementNetwork Model Data Characteristics

It’s big

It is used all at once– Simulations require a complete network model

It is composed of different types of data (with different change

characteristics)

– Physical network model

– Study case data (assumptions, topology, solution)

It comes from multiple sources– Inside a utility

– Outside a utility

Past and future matter (projects and history)

3. Network model data is complex

Network Model ManagementCIM Is An Electric Utility Semantic Model

Industry has 2 semantic models:

– IEC Common Information Model (CIM)

– NRECA MultiSpeak

CIM is strong in modeling network analysis data

– Began as operational model in early 1990s (support EMS components

from different vendors)

– Became IEC Standard in mid-1990s

– Network model interoperability tests start in 2000 – 15+ to-date

– Planning (bus/branch) model added in 2008

– Dynamics (transient behavior) model added in 2013

– Projects, outage and contingency modeling are current topics

Network Model ManagementCIM Supports Network Model Data Characteristics

It’s big -> yup, 1500+ classes

It is used all at once -> support for assembled cases– Simulations require a complete network model

It is composed of different types of data -> model part types– Physical network model

– Study case data (assumptions, topology, solution)

It comes from multiple sources -> model parts– Inside a utility

– Outside a utility

Past and future matter -> projects & versions
