DSATools™ Add-On Module | CIM IMPORT Seamless CIM Data Integration

The CIM Import module follows these standards to extract and build powerflow data from CIM:

• IEC 61970 (Energy Management)
• IEC 61968 (Distribution Management)
• IEC 62325 (Service Oriented Architecture)

Custom CIM extensions can also be incorporated.

The CIM Import module considers the following data from the above standards:

• Equipment: all network components defined in the supported CIM versions are included in the powerflow case.
• Topology: the resulting powerflow case is based on the bus/branch format. The node/breaker model is added if data is provided.
• Steady-State Hypothesis (CIM16+): status of all network components, as well as generation and load values, are extracted and included in the powerflow case so that a flat powerflow solution can be performed.
• State Variable: bus voltages, shunt settings, transformer tap ratios, etc. are obtained for powerflow solution and analysis.

• Add-on module for PSAT
• Support CIM 14, CIM 15, CIM 16+
• Create powerflow model in node/breaker or bus/branch format
• Capable of incorporating third-party customization
• Capable of integration with real-time CIM from EMS for on-line dynamic security assessment (DSA)
• Create powerflow model in node/breaker or bus/branch format
• Capable of incorporating third-party customization
• Capable of integration with real-time CIM from EMS for online dynamic security assessment (DSA)
• Support CIM version 14, 15, and 16+

  

The CIM Import module can be used for a variety of applications, including:

Powerflow analysis

Topology analysis: the CIM Import has a tool able to collapse buses connected by breakers/switches so as to reduce the zero impedance lines in the resulting bus/branch model.

All network components have equipment names assigned in the powerflow case. This enables the integration of the DSATools™ functional modules (VSAT, TSAT, and SSAT) for online DSA.

• Runs on MS Windows 7/10/server 2012 R2/server 2016
• Requires PSAT to run
