IEC TS 61970-600-2:2017

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

IEC 61970-600-2:2017(E) details the requirements of the exchange profiles belonging to the CGMES. The CGMES is defined using information on the Common Information Model (CIM) available in the public domain. The CGMES reflects TSO requirements for accurate modelling of the ENTSO-E area for power flow, short circuit and dynamics applications whilst also allowing for the exchange of any diagram layouts including GIS data of a grid model. Future editions of this technical specification will be released to describe following CGMES versions which reflect the additional requirements due to European network codes or guidelines.
