IEC 61970-600-2:2021

Energy management system application program interface (EMS-API) - Part 600-2: Common Grid Model Exchange Standard (CGMES) - Exchange profiles specification

IEC 61970-600-2:2021 defines the profiles included in the Common Grid Model Exchange Standard (CGMES) that are based on IEC 61970-450-series and IEC 61968-13 profiles. This document refers to the IEC 61970-450-series and IEC 61968-13 profiles only in cases where they are identical. If the referenced profile is not yet published, this document includes the profile definition and related constraints’ definitions. In the case where a CGMES profile makes restriction on the referenced profile, the restriction is defined in this document.
The equipment boundary profile (EQBD) is the only profile that is not part of IEC 61970-450-series and IEC 61968-13 profiles. This profile is deprecated as modifications have been made to align between EQBP and the equipment profile (EQ). Although the updated EQBD is addressing the requirement that boundary also can be located inside a substation, which will be the case for many Distribution System Operators (DSOs), additional information would need to be exchanged. For instance, system integrity protection schemes, that can be shared by multiple utility would require another way of boundary handling. In this document EQBD is included in CGMES only to create better backwards compatibility with previous version of the CGMES.
The machine-readable documentation that supports model driven development of the profiles defined in this part are generated as Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) according to IEC 61970-501:2006 (with some extension) and IEC 61970-501:ED2 when published.

Interface de programmation d'application pour système de gestion d'énergie (EMS-API) - Partie 600-2: Norme pour l'échange de modèle de réseau commun (CGMES) - Spécification des profils d'échange

IEC 61970-600-2:2021 définit les profils inclus dans la Norme pour l'échange de modèle de réseau commun (CGMES) et qui reposent sur les profils de la série IEC 61970- 450 et de l'IEC 61968-13. Le présent document fait référence aux profils de la série IEC 61970-450 et de l'IEC 61968-13 uniquement lorsqu'ils sont identiques. Si le profil référencé n'est pas encore publié, le présent document inclut sa définition et les définitions des contraintes associées. Lorsqu'un profil de la CGMES impose une restriction sur le profil référencé, cette restriction est définie dans le présent document.
Le profil d'équipement frontière (EQBD) est le seul profil qui ne fait pas partie des profils de la série IEC 61970-450 et de l'IEC 61968-13. Ce profil est déconseillé, des modifications ayant été apportées pour aligner l'EQBP sur le profil d'équipement (EQ). Bien que l'EQBD mis à jour réponde à l'exigence selon laquelle la frontière peut également se trouver à l'intérieur d'un poste, ce qui est le cas pour de nombreux opérateurs de réseaux de distribution (DSO), il est nécessaire d'échanger des informations supplémentaires. Par exemple, les plans de protection de l'intégrité système, qui peuvent être partagés par plusieurs entreprises de services publics, exigent une autre manière de gérer les frontières. Dans le présent document, l'EQBD n'est inclus dans la CGMES que pour améliorer la rétrocompatibilité avec la version antérieure de la CGMES.
La documentation lisible par une machine qui vient à l'appui du développement piloté par modèle des profils définis dans la présente partie est produite sous forme de schéma RDF (RDFS) selon l'IEC 61970-501:2006 (avec des extensions) et l'IEC 61970-501:ED2 après publication.
Cette première édition annule et remplace l'IEC TS 61970-600-2 parue en 2017. Cette édition constitue une révision technique
