DIN EN 61970-552:2014-09

This International Standard specifies a Component Interface Specification (CIS) for Energy Management Systems Application Program Interfaces. This part specifies the format and rules for exchanging modelling information based upon the CIM (Common Information Model). It uses the CIM RDF Schema presented in IEC 61970-501 as the meta-model framework for constructing XML documents of power system modelling information. The style of this document is called CIM-XML format. Model exchange by file transfer serves many useful purposes. Profile documents such as IEC 61970-452 and other profiles in the 61970-45x series of standards explain the requirements and use cases that set the context for this work. Though the format can be used for general CIM-based information exchange, specific profiles (or so-called subsets) of the CIM are identified in order to address particular exchange requirements. The initial requirement driving the solidification of this specification is the exchange of transmission network modelling information for power system security coordination. The responsible committee is DKE/K 952 "Netzleittechnik" ("Power system control") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
