What is BS EN 61970-552 – CIM XML Model exchange format about?
BS EN 61970 discusses the energy management system application program interface (EMS-API). BS EN 61970-552 provides the best industry guidance on the CIM XML Model exchange format to ensure data security.
BS EN 61970-552 outlines the format and rules for exchanging modelling information based upon the CIM. BS EN 61970-552 uses the CIM RDF Schema presented in IEC 61970-501 as the metamodel framework for constructing XML documents of power system modelling information. The style of these documents is called CIM XML format.
BS EN 61970-552 supports a mechanism for software from independent suppliers to produce and consume CIM described modelling information based on a common format. The proposed solution:
Is both machines readable and human-readable, although primarily intended for programmatic access
Can be accessed using any tool that supports the Document Object Model (DOM) and other standard XML application program interfaces
Is self-describing
Takes advantage of current World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendations
