Interactive Model Transformations from the Common Information Model (CIM) to Modelica

Model transformation is necessary to save time in using different power system analysis tools. The transformation process should ensure that model parameters are correct when using a tool that is different than the original source, and systematically moving and mathematically changing the source parameters. This paper describes an interactive model transformation process using eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) within the EditiX software. The process starts from models in the Common Information Model (CIM). The XML files were generated by the PSS®E ODMS software according to the Common Grid Model Exchange Specification (CGMES) Library. The transformation results in a text file, linking the OpenIPSL library, with a MO extension for use with Modelica-standard-compliant dynamic simulation tools.
