Energy management system application program interface (EMS-API) - Part 552: CIMXML Model exchange format

IEC 61970-552:2013 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. 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 these documents is called CIMXML format. This standard supports a mechanism for software from independent suppliers to produce and consume CIM described modelling information based on a common format.

Interface de programmation d'application pour système de gestion d'énergie (EMS-API) - Partie 552: Format d'échange de modèle CIMXML

La CEI 61970-552:2013 spécifie une Spécification d'Interface de Composants (Component Interface Specification (CIS)) pour les Interfaces de Programmation d'Application des Systèmes de Gestion d'Énergie. Cette partie spécifie le format et les règles pour échanger les informations de modélisation basées sur le CIM. Elle utilise le Schéma RDF du CIM présenté dans la CEI 61970-501 comme le cadre de métamodèle pour générer les documents XML contenant les informations relatives à la modélisation des réseaux électriques. Le style de ces documents est appelé format CIMXML. La présente norme prend en charge un mécanisme pour les logiciels provenant de fournisseurs indépendants afin de produire et d'utiliser les informations de modélisation décrites dans le CIM dans un format commun.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
This International standard is part of the IEC 61970 series that define an Application Program
Interface (API) for an Energy Management System (EMS).
IEC 61970-301 specifies a Common Information Model (CIM): a logical view of the physical
aspects of an electric utility operations. The CIM is described using the Uni
