Semantic interoperability within the power systems domain

Published: 04 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a scenario for increasing the interoperability between electric power systems companies by the use of a common information model for the exchange of power system data. The so called Common information Model (CIM) provides an ontology for the most used objects within the power system domain. We introduce the need for the CIM within the domain with a s general focus and a focus on the German energy market with its liberalization and unbundling. Afterwards, relevant aspects of the CIM are described in depth and applications are introduced with a focus on a project conducted by the authors.
