Network Data Integrationwith IEC CIM

Network Data• SSEN network data exists in multiple

systems

• Planning models for 33+ kV are made publicly available as part of the Long Term Development Statement (LTDS)

• Control Systems use network models internally to operate the system

• The Geographical Information Systems stores asset location data

Integration

• The integration of network data is a challenge for all utilities• Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are being connected across the

network• Manual processes for integrating data-sets need to be automated• Data needs to be frequently shared internally and externally • Standards are key to support integration and sharing

Project Benefits

• MERLIN allowed for a detailed analysis, integration, and testing of standardized, integrated data covering a wide scope• The outcomes from this project are now supporting:• Ongoing projects (Transition, Centralised Active Network Management – ANM)• Upcoming projects (Near Real-Time Data Access – NeRDA)• Future Open Data initiatives across the industry, including current proposals from
