Transmission System Operators

129 1 Introduction
130 The generation and load shift keys (GLSK) profile enables the exchange of GLSK. There are
131 two variants of the profile, an exchange of GLSK in the form of schedules and an exchange of
132 the GLSK per MTU (market time unit).

133 2 Application profile specification

134 2.1 Version information
135 The content is generated from UML model file CIM100_CGMES31v01_501-

162 2.2 Constraints naming convention

163 The naming of the rules shall not be used for machine processing. The rule names are just a
164 string. The naming convention of the constraints is as follows.

165 “{rule.Type}:{rule.Standard}:{rule.Profile}:{rule.Property}:{rule.Name}”

166 where

167 rule.Type: C – for constraint; R – for requirement

168 rule.Standard: the number of the standard e.g. 301 for 61970 -301, 456 for 61970-456, 13 for
169 61968-13. 61970-600 specific constraints refer to 600 although they are related to one or
170 combination of the 61970-450 series profiles. For NC profiles, NC is used.

171 rule.Profile: the abbreviation of the profile, e.g. TP for Topology profile. If set to “ALL” the
172 constraint is applicable to all IEC 61970-600 profiles.

173 rule.Property: for UML classes, the name of the class, for attributes and associations, the name
174 of the class and attribute or association end, e.g. EnergyConsumer, IdentifiedObject.name, etc.
175 If set to “NA” the property is not applicable to a specific UML element.

176 rule.Name: the name of the rule. It is unique for the same property.

177 Example: C:600:ALL:IdentifiedObject.name:stringLength

178 2.3 Profile constraints

179 This clause defines requirements and constraints that shall be fulfilled by applications that
180 conform to this document.

181 This document is the master for rules and constraints tagged " NC". For the sake of self-
182 containment, the list below also includes a copy of the relevant rules from IEC 61970 -452,
183 tagged "452".

184 • C:452:ALL:NA:datatypes

185 According to 61970-501, datatypes are not exchanged in the instance data. The
186 UnitMultiplier is 1 in cases none value is specified in the profile.

187 • R:452:ALL:NA:exchange

188 Optional and required attributes and associations must be imported and exported if they
189 are in the model file prior to import.

190 • R:452:ALL:NA:exchange1

191 If an optional attribute does not exist in the imported file, it does not have to be exported
192 in case exactly the same data set is exported, i.e. the tool is not obliged to automatically
193 provide this attribute. If the export is resulting from an action by the user performed after
194 the import, e.g. data processing or model update the export can contain optional
195 attributes.

196 • R:452:ALL:NA:exchange2

197 In most of the profiles the selection of optional and required attributes is made so as to
198 ensure a minimum set of required attributes without which the exchange does not fulfil
199 its basic purpose. Business processes governing different exchanges can require
200 mandatory exchange of certain optional attributes or associations. Optional and required
201 attributes and associations shall therefore be supported by applications which claim
202 conformance with certain functionalities of the IEC 61970 -452. This provides flexibility
203 for the business processes to adapt to differ ent business requirements and base the
204 exchanges on IEC 61970-452 compliant applications.

205 • R:452:ALL:NA:exchange3

206 An exporter may, at his or her discretion, produce a serialization containing additional
207 class data described by the CIM Schema but not require d by this document provided
208 these data adhere to the conventions established in Clause 5.

209 • R:452:ALL:NA:exchange4

210 From the standpoint of the model import used by a data recipient, the document
211 describes a subset of the CIM that importing software shall be a ble to interpret in order
212 to import exported models. Data providers are free to exceed the minimum requirements
213 described herein as long as their resulting data files are compliant with the CIM Schema
214 and the conventions established in Clause 5. The docume nt, therefore, describes
215 additional classes and class data that, although not required, exporters will, in all
216 likelihood, choose to include in their data files. The additional classes and data are
217 labelled as required (cardinality 1..1) or as optional (ca rdinality 0..1) to distinguish them
218 from their required counterparts. Please note, however, that data importers could
219 potentially receive data containing instances of any and all classes described by the
220 CIM Schema.

221 • R:452:ALL:NA:cardinality

222 The cardinality defined in the CIM model shall be followed, unless a more restrictive
223 cardinality is explicitly defined in this document. For instance, the cardinality on the
224 association between VoltageLevel and BaseVoltage indicates that a VoltageLevel sh all
225 be associated with one and only one BaseVoltage, but a BaseVoltage can be associated
226 with zero to many VoltageLevels.

227 • R:452:ALL:NA:associations

228 Associations between classes referenced in this document and classes not referenced
229 here are not required regardless of cardinality.

230 • R:452:ALL:IdentifiedObject.name:rule

231 The attribute “name” inherited by many classes from the abstract class IdentifiedObject
232 is not required to be unique. It must be a human readable identifier without additional
233 embedded information that would need to be parsed. The attribute is used for purposes
234 such as User Interface and data exchange debugging. The MRID defined in the data
235 exchange format is the only unique and persistent identifier used for this data exchange.
236 The attribute IdentifiedObject.name is, however, always required for CoreEquipment
237 profile and Short Circuit profile.

238 • R:452:ALL:IdentifiedObject.description:rule

239 The attribute “description” inherited by many classes from the abstract class
240 IdentifiedObject must contain human readable text without additional embedded
241 information that would need to be parsed.

242 • R:452:ALL:NA:uniqueIdentifier

243 All IdentifiedObject-s shall have a persistent and globally unique identifier (Master
244 Resource Identifier - mRID).

245 • R:452:ALL:NA:unitMultiplier

246 For exchange of attributes defined using CIM Data Types (ActivePower , Susceptance,
247 etc.) a unit multiplier of 1 is used if the UnitMultiplier specified in this document is “none”.

248 • C:452:ALL:IdentifiedObject.name:stringLength

– Page 9 of 28 –
ENTSO-E | Rue de Spa, 8 | 1000 Brussels | [email protected] | www.entsoe.eu | @entso_e

249 The string IdentifiedObject.name has a maximum of 128 characters.

250 • C:452:ALL:IdentifiedObject.description:stringLength

251 The string IdentifiedObject.description is maximum 256 characters.

252 • C:452:ALL:NA:float

253 An attribute that is defined as float (e.g. has a type Float or a type which is a Datatype
254 with .value attribute of type Float) shall support ISO/IEC 60559:2020 for floating -point
255 arithmetic using single precision floating point. A single precision float supports 7
256 significant digits where the significant digits are described as an integer, or a decimal
257 number with 6 decimal digits. Two float values are equal when the significant with 7
258 digits are identical, e.g. 1234567 is equal 1.234567E6 and so are 1.2345678 and
259 1.234567E0.

260

261 2.4 Metadata

262 ENTSO-E agreed to extend the header and metadata definitions by IEC 61970-552 Ed2. This
263 new header definitions rely on W3C recommendations which are used worldwide and are
264 positively recognised by the European Commission. The new definitions of the header mainly
265 use Provenance ontology (PROV-O), Time Ontology and Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT). The
266 global new header applicable for this profile is included in the metadata and document header
267 specification document.

268 The header vocabulary contains all attributes defined in IEC 61970 -552. This is done only for
269 the purpose of having one vocabulary for header and to ensure transition for data exchanges
270 that are using IEC 61970-552:2016 header. This profile does not use IEC 61970 -552:2016
271 header attributes and relies only on the extended attributes.

272 2.4.1 Constraints

273 The identification of the constraints related to the metadata follows the same convention for
274 naming of the constraints as for profile constraints.

275 • R:NC:ALL:wasAttributedTo:usage

276 The prov:wasAttributedTo should normally be the “X” EIC code of the a ctor (prov:Agent).

277

278 2.4.2 Reference metadata

279 The header defined for this profile requires availability of a set of reference metadata. For
280 instance, the attribute prov:wasGeneratedBy requires a reference to an activity which produced
281 the model or the related process. The activities are defined as reference metadata and their
282 identifiers are referenced from the header to enable the receiving entity to retrieve the “static”
283 (reference) information that is not modified frequently. This approach imposes a requirement
284 that both the sending entity and the receiving entity have access to a unique version of the
285 reference metadata. Therefore, each business process shall define which reference metadata
286 is used and where it is located.

429 3.20 UnitMultiplier enumeration
430 The unit multipliers defined for the CIM. When applied to unit symbols, the unit symbol is
431 treated as a derived unit. Regardless of the contents of the unit symbol text, the unit symbol
432 shall be treated as if it were a single-character unit symbol. Unit symbols should not contain
433 multipliers, and it should be left to the multiplier to define the multiple for an entire data type.
434 For example, if a unit symbol is "m2Pers" and the multiplier is "k", then the value is k(m**2/s),
435 and the multiplier applies to the entire final value, not to any individual part of the value. This
436 can be conceptualized by substituting a derived unit symbol for the unit type. If one imagines
437 that the symbol "Þ" represents the derived unit "m2Pers", then applying the multiplier "k" can
438 be conceptualized simply as "kÞ".
439 For example, the SI unit for mass is "kg" and not "g". If the unit symbol is defined as "kg", then
440 the multiplier is applied to "kg" as a whole and does not replace the "k" in front of the "g". In
441 this case, the multiplier of "m" would be used with the unit symbol of "kg" to represent one gram.
442 As a text string, this violates the instructions in IEC 80000-1. However, because the unit symbol
443 in CIM is treated as a derived unit instead of as an SI unit, it makes more sense to conceptualize
444 the "kg" as if it were replaced by one of the proposed replacements for the SI mass symbol. If
445 one imagines that the "kg" were replaced by a symbol "Þ", then it is easier to conceptualize the
446 multiplier "m" as creating the proper unit "mÞ", and not the forbidden unit "mkg".

450 3.21 UnitSymbol enumeration
451 The derived units defined for usage in the CIM. In some cases, the derived unit is equal to an
452 SI unit. Whenever possible, the standard derived symbol is used instead of the formula for the
453 derived unit. For example, the unit symbol Farad is defined as "F" instead of "CPerV". In cases
454 where a standard symbol does not exist for a derived unit, the formula for the unit is used as
455 the unit symbol. For example, density does not have a standard symbol and so it is represented
456 as "kgPerm3". With the exception of the "kg", which is an SI unit, the unit symbols do not contain
457 multipliers and therefore represent the base derived unit to which a multiplier can be applied as
458 a whole.
459 Every unit symbol is treated as an unparseable text as if it were a single -letter symbol. The
460 meaning of each unit symbol is defined by the accompanying descriptive text and not by the
461 text contents of the unit symbol.
462 To allow the widest possible range of serializations without requiring special character handling,
463 several substitutions are made which deviate from the format described in IEC 80000 -1. The
464 division symbol "/" is replaced by the letters "Per". Exponents are written in plain text after the
465 unit as "m3" instead of being formatted as "m" with a superscript of 3 or introducing a symbol
466 as in "m^3". The degree symbol "°" is replaced with the letters "deg". Any clarificat ion of the
467 meaning for a substitution is included in the description for the unit symbol.
468 Non-SI units are included in list of unit symbols to allow sources of data to be correctly labelled
469 with their non-SI units (for example, a GPS sensor that is reporting numbers that represent feet
470 instead of meters). This allows software to use the unit symbol information correctly convert
471 and scale the raw data of those sources into SI-based units.
472 The integer values are used for harmonization with IEC 61850.
