CIM

In practice

In practice, CIM compliance is increasingly required when grid companies exchange network topology data with TSOs (StatnettNorway's system operator for the transmission grid - owns and operates the high-voltage network and operates Elhub., EnerginetDenmark's system operator for electricity and gas - operates the transmission network and runs DataHub Denmark for market data exchange., Svenska kraftnätSweden's system operator for the transmission network - equivalent to Statnett's role in Norway.) or contribute to national grid models. For IT systems, CIM means that SCADASupervisory Control and Data Acquisition - system for real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes. and GISGeographic Information System - system for collecting, storing and analyzing location-based data - used in network mapping and planning. systems must be able to export and import grid topology in CIM/XMLExtensible Markup Language - universal markup language for structured data, standard in Elhub's Ediel messages. format. Projects using CIM typically require specialised expertise and careful mapping between the vendor's internal data modelFormal representation of data structure, relationships and constraints - foundation for database design and system messages. and the CIM schema.

RUNATvimenning's component register for electrical installations - providing structure and traceability for the components installations are built from., SPIRATvimenning's metering point and asset register - your single source of truth for master data, with a built-in validation engine and Elhub integration. and SEFTATvimenning’s VEE engine: validates, estimates and edits metering series with versioned time series and a full audit trail, before data goes to Elhub. support CIM across all three core products, available via APIApplication Programming Interface - standardised interface that allows two systems to communicate with each other. for easy data exchange.
