“…Related studies like [63,64] can be traced back to 2009, where ontology approaches or object mappings for substation models were implemented and tested. Further development has successfully improved the automatic mapping for signal processing [65] and established the links between the parameters in IEC 61850 and CIM models [66]. The work in [67] also indicates the trend of the harmonization of CIM and IEC 61850, in which the unified modeling is preferred and the usage of a unified model or meta-model has been suggested.…”

Implementation and Test of an IEC 61850-Based Automation Framework for the Automated Data Model Integration of DES (ADMID) into DSO SCADA

As a result of the energy transition, an increasing number of Decentralized Energy Systems (DES) will be installed in the distribution grid in the future. Accordingly, new methods to systematically integrate the growing DES in distribution power systems must be developed utilizing the constantly evolving Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This paper proposes the Automated Data Model Integration of DES (ADMID) approach for the integration of DES into the ICT environment of the Distribution System Operator (DSO). The proposed ADMID utilizes the data model structure defined by the standard-series IEC 61850 and has been implemented as a Python package. The presented two Use Cases focus on the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) on the DSO operational level following a four-stage test procedure, while this approach has enormous potential for advanced DSO applications. The test results obtained during simulation or real-time communication to field devices indicate that the utilization of IEC 61850-compliant data models is eligible for the proposed automation approach, and the implemented framework can be a considerable solution for the system integration in future distribution grids with a high share of DES. As a proof-of-concept study, the proposed ADMID approach requires additional development with a focus on the harmonization with the Common Information Model (CIM), which could significantly improve its functional interoperability and help it reach a higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL).

“…The investment needs in the distribution grid are expected to be higher than in the transmission grid according to [2] (pp. [66][67]. The conventional power system design and operation follows a top-down approach; the construction and operation of distribution grids must ensure the stability and efficiency of the transmission grids.…”

“…These issues can be related to CIM extensions, the harmonization with other standards when connecting multiple systems or applications, and the validation of the model instances [46]. The gap analysis carried out within EU-SysFlex [44] concluded that CIM coverage may need to be improved when dealing with data hubs, data portability, sub-meter data, data aggregation and anonymisation, consent management, for exchanging data logs and authentication information, for the exchange of data between DERs and SOs (e.g., by harmonising CIM and IEC 61850 [47]), and when implementing other flexibility services besides balancing. On the other hand, CIM profiling proved that no CIM extensions are needed for congestion management if the manual frequency restoration reserve (mFRR) type product is used to provide this service.…”

The coordination between system operators is a key element for the decarbonization of the power system. Over the past few years, many EU-funded research projects have addressed the challenges of Transmission System Operators (TSO) and Distribution System Operators (DSO) coordination by implementing different data exchange architectures. This paper presents a review of the ICT architectures implemented for the main coordination schemes demonstrated in such projects. The main used technologies are analyzed, considering the type of data exchanged and the communication link.Finally, the paper presents the different gaps and challenges on TSO-DSO coordination related to ICT architectures that must still be faced, paying especial attention to the expected contribution of the EU-funded OneNet project on this topic.

A Comprehensive Review of Practical Issues for Interoperability Using the Common Information Model in Smart Grids

et al. 2020

Smart grids with interoperability improve grid reliability by collecting system information and transferring it to an energy management system and associated applications through a seamless end-to-end connection. To achieve interoperability, it is required to exchange the semantic information within the different domains. The international electrotechnical commission has established the Common Information Model (CIM) tool, which is a standard application programming interface for the exchange of semantic information in power systems. CIM provides a robust framework for accurate data sharing, merging, and transformation into reusable information. However, as CIM provides a basic framework for information exchange, various practical issues arise in establishing an energy management system capable of exchanging information using CIM. This paper aims to offer a comprehensive understanding by summarizing and categorizing the research on the practical use of CIM for interoperability in smart grids. Many papers are analyzed and the issues are classified into CIM extension, harmonization, and validation to address the issues that arise when establishing an integrated information exchange system.
