Introduction to IEC 61968-9: How a New International Standard Can Enable US Smart-Grid Initiatives by David Haynes

 

This presentation discusses a few of the Smart Grid goals which have been elevated by a number of parties, and cites the need for standards to integrate numerous utility back-office applications. The Common Information Model (CIM) has been in wide use for SCADA and Energy Management applications for more than a decade. A recently released standard IEC 61968-9 now extends the CIM to define messages for the exchange of information between energy distribution applications such as AMI, MDM, OMS, CIS, and Asset Management. In addition to citing a number of the smart grid goals, this presentation offers an in-depth look at the use of 61968-9 to achieve some of these specific goals.
