The Impact of Standardized Models, Programming Interfaces, and Protocols on a Shipboard Power System

Electric power research institute's control center application programming interface proposed the common information model (CIM) as the common information exchange model, which provides an excellent platform for representing the components of a power system. This paper discusses using CIM for data modeling for ship power system analysis. Features include using the CIM to accommodate shipboard power systems. Detailed data models for a pulsed load and an active filter are presented and validated through simulation in Matlab. The general process to extend CIM for shipboard power system is briefly outlined. Further efforts are underway to develop a CIM-based shipboard baseline test case to standardize modeling terminology.
