BS EN IEC 61970-600-2:2021

What is BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 about?

BS EN IEC 61970 is a series on Energy management system application program interface (EMS-API).  An energy management system application program interface is a computer-aided tool used by power system operators to monitor, control, and carry out optimal energy management. BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 defines the profiles included in the Common Grid Model Exchange Standard (CGMES). BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 includes the profile definition and related constraints’ definitions. In the case where a CGMES profile makes a restriction on the referenced profile, the restriction is defined in BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2.

The machine-readable documentation that supports model-driven development of the profiles defined in BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 is generated as Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS). BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 includes an equipment boundary profile (EQBD), which is included in CGMES only to create better backwards compatibility with the previous version of the Common Grid Model Exchange Standard.

Who is BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 for?

BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 on energy management system application program interface is useful for:

• Human resources information systems sectors
• Industries with facilities management systems
• Industries consisting of resources management systems
• Sectors having integrated authentication
• Schools with student information system
• Automated control systems manufacturers

Why should you use BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2?

The purpose of an energy management system application program interface is to determine power generation or power demands that minimize a certain objective such as generation cost, power loss, or environmental effect. BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2 provides you with information on Common Grid Model Exchange Specification that defines support the exchange of power system models (e.g., individual grid model or common grid model) between model authorities (TSOs, DSOs, etc.) for the purpose of a coordinated set of services to be performed on the same the model according to legislation or general data exchanges in the frame of system operation, system development or utilities’ projects.

The energy management system application program interface allows the agents (the Modelling Authorities) to generate their Individual Grid Models (IGM) that can be assembled to build broader Common Grid Models (CGM). Using BS EN IEC 61970‑600‑2.
