Outline

• Background on MultiSpeak and CIM
• How MultiSpeak supports interoperation of power
  system applications
• Why MultiSpeak and CIM should be harmonized
• How harmonization can occur

Standards for Integration of Distribution
Applications

• MultiSpeak
• Developed by NRECA in collaboration with key
  industry vendors
• Covers applications of interest to distribution
  utilities
• Currently doesnt include power scheduling or
  generation
• Standard is mature, but scope is continuing to
  grow
• In use at hundreds of utilities
• Mature interoperability testing program, applies
  to all interfaces
• Implemented using XML web services and batch
  transport profiles defined
• More information and specification available at
  www.MultiSpeak.org

Standards for Integration of Distribution
Applications

• CIM with Distribution Extensions
• Grew out of EPRI UCA research currently
  maintained by IEC Technical Committee 57
• Scope is larger than MultiSpeak, but is less
  mature
• Implementations based on CIM data model in place
  at dozens of utilities
• Implementation is messaging-based and transport
  agnostic, currently no transport profiles defined
• Interoperability testing is in place for two
  limited profiles (transmission and distribution
  power system model exchange)
• Core CIM in IEC 61970 distribution extensions in
  IEC 61968

Examples of Integrating Monitoring and
Distribution Operations Using MultiSpeak

• Outages detected by AMI system transmitted to
  outage management system (OMS)
• Both pub/sub and request/response supported
• Both pinging (for polled systems) or published
  (for unsolicited detection systems) methodologies
  supported
• SCADA device status transmitted to OMS
• Both pub/sub and request/response supported
• Loads/voltages/blinks/permanent outages
  transmitted from AMI system to engineering
  analysis or OMS
• Information useful for engineering studies,
  planned maintenance, troubleshooting

10
Examples of Integrating Monitoring and
Distribution Operations Using MultiSpeak
(Continued)

• Outage calls sent from IVR to OMS
• Enhances troubleshooting capability
• Outage information from OMS transmitted to IVR
• Improves customer service
• System connectivity (power system model)
  transmitted from OMS or engineering analysis to
  monitoring applications (e.g. AMI, SCADA)

(Continued)

• Outage calls sent from IVR to OMS
• Enhances troubleshooting capability
• Outage information from OMS transmitted to IVR
• Improves customer service
• System connectivity (power system model)
  transmitted from OMS or engineering analysis to
  monitoring applications (e.g. AMI, SCADA)

All of this is already in operation at utilities
12
The Future of Interoperation Using MultiSpeak

• Under Development Combination of load data from
  AMI and current feeder loading from SCADA sent to
  engineering analysis permits real-time
  distribution contingency analyses
• Next Step Initiate feedback action based on the
  contingency analysis automatically
• Under Development Mutual exchange of data and
  control actions between SCADA and any other
  distribution automation system

13
Why Harmonize MultiSpeak and CIM?

• Both standards have value for specific markets
  and likely will persist in market
• Both standards will undoubtedly be simultaneously
  implemented in some utilities
• Inter-company messaging will likely be required
  among companies using different standards

14
Steps in Harmonization

• Map MultiSpeak web service methods to WG14 (CIM)
  use case steps.
• Compare WG14 and MultiSpeak data payloads for
  each use case step.
• Create style sheet data payload transformation.
• Create adapter layer to handle data
  transformation and messaging conversion.
