Study on the CIM based data integration platform

Information & Communication Technology is one of highest priority deployment for smart grid development. Although Common information model (CIM) provides a general solution for information share and exchange; some problems still occur in CIM application. To solve the problems, a solution based on Object-relational mapping (ORM) and JAVA Reflection mechanism is proposed and a data platform based on the solution is also introduced. The system architecture of data platform is comprehensively designed and considered to achieve high reusability and flexibility. The strategies for importing, verifying and merging CIM data, from different vendors with different versions, are introduced and discussed respectively. A field practice case for data platform is presented and test results demonstrate the feasibility of the solution.
