Purpose of this Focus Community
The purpose of this community is to develop and maintain the dynamic modeling components of the Common Information Model (CIM), as defined in IEC 61970-302. This standard supports the exchange of dynamic stability models used in power system planning and operational studies, including generator control models, excitation systems, governors, power system stabilizers, and other dynamic behaviors. The CIM for Dynamics Focus Community works to ensure the accurate and interoperable representation of these models across tools and vendors, enabling reliable analysis of system response to disturbances. Through collaboration with utilities, software vendors, and research institutions, this group helps advance grid resilience, system simulation accuracy, and seamless data exchange for dynamic studies.
Various activities meet with various cadences:
- Biweekly (virtual): Subcommittees on use-case data modeling or testing & certification
- Monthly (virtual): General Focus Community update
- Ad-hoc (virtual): Marketing subcommittee for any upcoming User Group meetings or events
- Annually (in-person): Meet-up at one or more UCA User Group meetings
The CIM for Dynamics Focus Community is comprised of a diverse mix of energy industry stakeholders including electric utilities, hardware and software vendors, research labs, federal government, and consultants. These dedicated individuals contribute as they are able and participate in activities based on interest and ability.
