CIM-Compliant power system dynamic model-to-model transformation and modelica simulation

Abstract

European regulations on information exchange have put new requirements on analysis tools, the main one being the adoption of the International Electrotechnical Commission common information model (CIM) that may help interoperability across applications. This paper proposes the use of model-driven software engineering methods to meet these new requirements. Specifically, this paper shows how to apply model-to-model (M2M) transformations. The M2M method presented herein allows us to work directly with the information and mathematical description and computer implementation of dynamic models, independent from specific analysis tools. The M2M method proposed requires the development of a mapping between CIM/unified modeling language and the Modelica language, which allows us to derive Modelica models of physical power systems for dynamic simulations.
