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)

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
CIM organizes complex network model data

Phase IDefine the full picture of the scope, strategy, resource needs, strategic and tactical plan for the Network Model Management program– Management Summary (Current State, Vision, Implementation, Tactical)
– Product Strategy (Unite survey, RFI, RFP)
– Program Documentation (Schedule, Budget, Risk, Communication)
Phase IIDefine the details of Tactical and Implementation plan, and select a vendor product to implement and integrate one application defined in the Application Portfolio– Technical Guidance Document (Gap Analysis, Tactical, Implementation)
– Product Strategy (Vendor Evaluation, Vendor Selection, Deployment)
– Program Documentation (Schedule, Change Management, Cost Benefit Analysis)
