UCTE Viewpoint towards CIM – project report Chavdar Ivanov, Ph.D. UCTE Secretariat, Convenor of AhG UCTE format CIM User Group meeting, 12-15th May 2009, Genval, Belgium
Why discussions about a new common format? - A lot of software tools are being used among the UCTE TSOs - The idea about a mutual acceptance of another existing commercial format as a standard for data exchanges is not supported
Seite Aufzählung From ASCII to CIM..... (Important decisions) • November 2007: UCTE agreed to launch an initiative for development of new UCTE XML based data exchange format that will considered as a standard for exchange of load flow and dynamic data and allows performing of all kind of analyses as follows: steady state, unbalanced short circuit and dynamic analyses. • AhG UCTE format was established. • May 2008: UCTE SC approved • the cooperation of AhG “UCTE format” with international organizations aiming at inclusion of UCTE needs into international standard • the UCTE participation in EPRI project (CIM for Dynamics) • Summer 2008: UCTE joins the EPRI Project and creates a liaison with IEC TC57. UCTE CIM TF is established during CIMug meeting in Vasteras (June 2008)
Project timeline (1) Before 06/2008 25/Sep/2008 20/Nov/2008 11/Dec/2008 23/Dec/2008 Decisions on the CIM/XML - based format direction First teleconference for UCTE IOP First version of the profile AhG UCTE format submitted a proposal for CIM extensions to IEC Common meeting AhG – UCTE CIM TF When we have the final profile? IOP will be in March 2009. Is it feasible? Transformers are so complex… Do we need them?
Project timeline (2) 22/Jan/2009 Jan-Mar/2009 23-27/03/2009 20/01/2009 UCTE Migration policy approved IOP Training. Decisions on UCTE Profile UCTE IOP IOP preparation We will exchange 3 files instead of one and test the new IEC approach. Sounds good! Work, work, work. The profile is improving. I cannot hear any complains Congratulations! We did a good job. We have some issues to solve. UCTE wants fast implementation…
Implementation stage – Migration policy Project timeline (3) 11/May/2009 May-Sep/2009 15/July/2009 Sep/2009 Dec/2010 UCTE Profile submitted to IEC Start exchanges using CIM. Priority for Planning, System studies End of maintenance of UCTE DEF/CIM converter usage Internal UCTE tests using CIM. UCTE DEF/CIM converter UCTE Visualization and editing tool CIM for Dynamics => 2008/2009 13-16/July/2009 2010 Involvement in CIM for Dynamics project IEC Standards IOP CIM for Dynamics
- Developed by PowerInfo LLC - to provide users with possibilities for direct editing of CIM data exchange format and graphical visualization - it is not related to the migration. It will be used and maintained as long as CIM /XML format is used Tools Visualization and editing tool • Contacts with vendors to obtain CIM upgrade; • Development of CIM based modules, if necessary • etc. UCTE provides Migration stage only Permanent use Interoperability Interoperability Permanent use TSOs UCTE provides TSOs business Interoperability TSO’s tools Migration converter UCTE DEF/CIM • Developed by EDF R&D • to convert from UCTE CIM to UCTE DEF (current version: version 02) and vice versa • - to be used during the migration stage
Seite Aufzählung UCTE view on CIM development and maintenance • It is necessary to maintain a stable CIM version and clear roadmap for CIM development. • Establishment of clearly defined external consultation process before approval of next release by IEC. • A reference file for every version or implementation of version control system from CIM sharepoint or EA. • Regular reports/announcements on ongoing projects (issued by CIMug or IEC)
Seite Aufzählung Thank you • All UCTE TSOs that contributed to UCTE Profile development • UCTE IOP participants (test directors, vendors and witnesses) • IEC, EPRI, CIMug
