Framework for stream data with standard Common Information Model (CIM)

Abstract

Smart metering is a technical solution for emerging markets and billing system. The smart grid is a paradigm where the power grid and its users are connected to information and communication technology solutions, which envisage the improvement of all network functionalities. To achieve this, it is necessary to use the increasingly available data from smart meters, sensors, chargers and other devices. The incorporation of this data is associated with many challenges as not all devices are connected to a traditional data capture system.
The proposed framework enables near real-time data capture with appropriate communication standards. This is achieved by converting values in accordance with the standards for electricity measurement based on the XSD scheme and values transformed into a CIM model. We have found that the usual length of the time interval from capturing the current data on the measuring device to recording the raw current is four times more efficient than the existing frameworks.
