Automatic one-line creation tool for use with CIM XML model exchange

Abstract

CIM XML model exchange presents new challenges for RTOs and ISOs due to the quality and sheer volume of model data being transferred. A significant percentage of modeling problems are extremely difficult to detect without tedious investigation. There is a large class of modeling errors that will pass undetected through traditional validation routines but are instantly made 'visible' by a one-line created directly from a CIM XML import. This presentation is an overview and demonstration of a one-line generation tool which was developed to quickly verify substation topology and power-flow results following CIM XML document exchange.
