Development and Implementation of CIM in ENTSO-E

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 Steering Committee approved

Cooperation of AhG “UCTE format” with international organizations aiming at inclusion of UCTE needs into international standard

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 CIM user Group meeting in Vasteras (June 2008)

Development and Implementation of CIM in ENTSO-E

January 2009: UCTE Steering Committee approved Migration Policy. Priority of migration of “planning” models is given.

March 2009: UCTE IOP. Successful interoperability among IOP participants

May 2009: UCTE Profile finalized and submitted to IEC

July 2009: ENTSO-E is fully operational: new work organization related to CIM is implemented

All contracts and agreements have been transferred from UCTE to ENTSO-E. ENTSO-E has liaisons with IEC TC57 (WG13 and WG16) and it is a member of EPRI project “CIM for Dynamics”, etc.

July 2009: CIMdesk and Migration Converter provided to ENTSO-E members

Nov 2009: First IOP CIM for Dynamics. The concept is proved

Important ENTSO-E decisions

1 Oct 2009: System Development Committee (SDC) agreed that CIM/XML will be used in ENTSO-E data exchanges related to SDC activities (system studies, planning data exchanges)

2 Sep 2009: System Operations Committee (SOC) recommends:

Regional Group Continental Europe: The change from the UCTE format to CIM was decided by the UCTE Steering Committee. The goal is to switch to the new format before the end of 2010 at the latest (DACF exchanges)

Other Regional Groups to consider implementation of the standard with an aim of the pan-European harmonization

2 Dec 2009: SDC and SOC: Approved the roadmap for future development and implementation of updates of the CIM/XML format

11 Dec 2009: SDC, SOC and Market Committee: Approved ENTSO-E CIM Interoperability tests

ENTSO-E Secretariat serves as a central function of coordination, maintenance and support of Common Information Model (CIM) related issues and therefore, it

is the interface to international organizations

Current ENTSO-E CIM/XML Profile

Current ENTSO-E Profile is the “UCTE CIM Profile” tested in UCTE IOP in March 2009 in Paris. THIS IS THE PROFILE THAT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED BY ENTSO-E MEMBERS.

Updates of this profile should follow the approved Roadmap Proposals for changes are welcome and will be discussed within ENTSO-E,

IEC and will be tested in the ENTSO-E IOP once agreed among IOP participants.

Current ENTSO-E CIM/XML profile is published on ENTSO-E web site (CIM part: http://www.entsoe.eu/index.php?id=237)

A draft version of the second edition of the ENTSO-E CIM/XML profile was developed for the ENTSO-E interoperability test in July 2010. It is also available on the ENTSO-E web site (https://www.entsoe.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/_library/resources/CIM/Interoperability_Tests/ENTSO-

E_CIM_Model_Exchange_Profile_v2_draft_7_IOPversion_12July2010.zip)

Roadmap for future implementation of CIM

The aim: to structure the implementation effort. No yearly implementation. An exception could be only if a change is introduced which is critical for ENTSO-E processes

The implementation process is foreseen to last one year.

On regular basis the implementation effort is foreseen every three years, if necessary.

Next versions of the ENTSO-E Profile have to be approved by System Development Committee (SDC). In case of changes that affect operational data, System Operations Committee (SOC) decision is also required.

SDC or SDC&SOC decision ensures one year implementation period. Coming into force date is fixed and mandatory for TSOs

ENTSO-E CIM Interoperability Tests

1st ENTSO-E Test “CIM for System Development and Operations” was announced on 29 Jan 2010.

The test was held in Brussels in the week of 12 July ENTSO-E IOP plans for 2011 will be synchronized with

WG13 and WG16 plans in order to improve IOP efficiency. Announcements will follow.

Test name / Schedule 2010 2011 on

1. ENTSO-E IOP “CIM for System Development and Operations” May-June March-April

2. ENTSO-E IOP “CIM for Energy Market” October-November

May-June

ENTSO-E IOP Report

Finalized and published in mid August

Available on the ENTSO-E web site: https://www.entsoe.eu/index.php?id=240

Identified CIM issues were listed in the final report and submitted to IEC WG13 for further discussion. The expectation is that CIM15 will resolve most of the issues

ENTSO-E and CIM Tools

CIMdesk Visualization and editing tool developed by PowerInfo LLC, US

Provides users with possibilities for direct editing of CIM data exchange format and graphical visualizationIt is not related to the migration. It will be used and maintained as long as CIM /XML format is usedMaintenance contact ends in July 2010. A new maintenance contract which includes re-licensing conditions is now negotiated

Migration converter Developed by EDF R&D, FR

Converts from UCTE CIM to UCTE DEF (current version: version 02) and vice versaTo be used during the migration stage; useful for RG Continental EuropeMaintenance contract ends in the end of 2010

ENTSO-E exchanges in CIM

System development – planning exchanges • Still in migration period. Implementation efforts are necessary from both sides users

and vendors. • Some TSOs already provide models in CIM exported from their systems

•Lessons learned: Testing with real data is necessary. IOP test cases cannot fully represent all modelling

approaches More complex test models are needed. The role of CIMug and IEC in test models

preparation is to be discussed Some vendors introduced post IOP changes which made real interoperability not

possible. Off-line IOPs may need to be performed. More strict rules on interoperability are needed to ensure that commercial products

are really fully compliant with the Profile

DACF process (Day-Ahead Congestion Forecast)• The goal is to complete migration stage by the end of 2010

•Test exchanges started on 8 June 2010 and finished in the end of August 2010•Now the second stage of tests for DACF is running. TSOs are exchanging 6 files per day in CIM (one day in a week) . The goal is to verify the procedures and test Communication channels.

Summary

ENTSO-E TSOs are implementing CIM in order to improve and harmonize data exchange processes improve the quality of network analyses

Therefore, to ensure fulfillment of ENTSO-E tasks defined by the 3rd Energy Package the EU

ENTSO-E set up an internal process in order to deals with CIM issues ENTSO-E would like to base its profiles on the IEC CIM Standards. This

will be possible only if CIM is developed following clear roadmap that avoids major changes of already implemented classes.

ENTSO-E will not be able to follow yearly updates on regular basis. Therefore changes in ENTSO-E Profile and IEC Standards will be carefully analyzed and applied in accordance with ENTSO-E needs.

ENTSO-E will actively participate in the CIM development process by providing technical expertise and a platform to demonstrate interoperability (IOPs covering WG13 and WG16 topics)
