FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The present part of International Standard IEC 61970 has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 57: Power systems management and associated information exchange.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) subclause 3.3, Transformer modeling – Updated description of transformer modelling to
reflect changes in the modelling of transformers to work for both transmission and
distribution systems;
b) subclause 3.5.1, Use of measurement classes – General – Updated to reflect changes to
the measurement model;
IEC 61970-452:2015 © IEC 2015 – 7 –
c) subclause 3.5.2, ICCP data exchange – Updated to reflect changes to the use of
identification in the model (IdentifiedObject, Name, and NameType);
d) the following detailed changes were made to Clause 4, CIM Equipment Profile:
• Added Measurement.unitMultiplier and Measurement.unitSymbol to replace
association to class Unit.

INTRODUCTION
This standard is one of the IEC 61970 series that define an application program interface
(API) for an energy management system (EMS).
The IEC 61970-3x series of documents specify a Common Information Model (CIM). The CIM
is an abstract model that represents all of the major objects in an electric utility enterprise
typically needed to model the operational aspects of a utility. It provides the semantics for the
IEC 61970 APIs specified in the IEC 61970-4x series of Component Interface Standards
(CIS). The IEC 61970-3x series includes IEC 61970-301, Common Information Model (CIM)
base and draft standard IEC 61970-302, Common Information Model (CIM) Financial,
EnergyScheduling and Reservations.
This standard is one of the IEC 61970-4x series of Compoment Interface Standards that
specify the functional requirements for interfaces that a component (or application) shall
implement to exchange information with other components (or applications) and/or to access
publicly available data in a standard way. The component interfaces describe the specific
message contents and services that can be used by applications for this purpose. The
implementation of these messages in a particular technology is described in IEC 61970-5.
This part of IEC 61970 specifies the specific profiles (or subsets) of the CIM for exchange of
static power system data between utilities, security coordinators and other entities
participating in a interconnected power system, such that all parties have access to the
modeling of their neighbor’s systems that is necessary to execute state estimation or power
flow applications. Currently only one profile, the Equipment Profile, has been defined. A
companion standard, IEC 61970-552, defines the CIM XML Model Exchange Format based on
the Resource Description Framework (RDF) Schema specification language which is
recommended to be used to transfer power system model data for the IEC 61970-452 profile.

PROGRAM INTERFACE (EMS-API) –
Part 452: CIM model exchange specification

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61970 is a member of the IEC 61970-450 to -499 series that, taken as a
whole, defines at an abstract level the content and exchange mechanisms used for data
transmitted between control centers and/or control center components.
The purpose of this document is to rigorously define the subset of classes, class attributes,
and roles from the CIM necessary to execute state estimation and power flow applications.
The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) Data Exchange Working Group
(DEWG) Common Power System Modeling group (CPSM) produced the original data
requirements, which are shown in Annex C. These requirements are based on prior industry
practices for exchanging power system model data for use primarily in planning studies.
However, the list of required data has been extended to facilitate a model exchange that
includes parameters common to breaker-oriented applications. Where necessary this
document establishes conventions, shown in Clause 5, with which an XML data file must
comply in order to be considered valid for exchange of models.
This document is intended for two distinct audiences, data producers and data recipients, and
may be read from two perspectives.
From the standpoint of model export software used by a data producer, the document
describes a minimum subset of CIM classes, attributes, and associations which must be
present in an XML formatted data file for model exchange. This standard does not dictate how
the network is modelled, however. It only dictates what classes, attributes, and associations
are to be used to describe the source model as it exists. All classes, attributes, and
associations not explicitly labeled as recommended or conditionally required should be
considered required with the following caveat. Consider, as an example, the situation in which
an exporter produces an XML data file describing a small section of the exporter’s network
that happens to contain no breakers. The resulting XML data file should, therefore, not
contain an instance of the Breaker class. On the other hand, if the section of the exporter’s
network does contain breakers, the resulting data file should contain instances of the Breaker
class that include, at a minimum, the attributes and roles described herein for Breakers.
Furthermore, it should be noted that an exporter may, at his or her discretion, produce an
XML data file containing additional class data described by the CIM RDF Schema but not
required by this document provided these data adhere to the conventions established in
Clause 5.
From the standpoint of the model import used by a data recipient, the document describes a
subset of the CIM that importing software must be able to interpret in order to import exported
models. As mentioned above, data providers are free to exceed the minimum requirements
described herein as long as their resulting data files are compliant with the CIM RDF Schema
and the conventions established in Clause 5. The document, therefore, describes additional
classes and class data that, although not required, exporters will, in all likelihood, choose to
include in their data files. The additional classes and data are labeled as recommended or as
not required to distinguish them from their required counterparts. Please note, however, that
data importers could potentially receive data containing instances of any and all classes
described by the CIM RDF Schema.

3 Overview of data requirements
3.1 Overview
An extensive discussion of the model exchange use cases can be found in Annex A. In all
cases, the purpose of this standard is:
• To improve the accuracy of power system models used in critical systems, particularly
the representation of parts of the network outside the primary domain of the system in
question.
• To achieve consistency among the models used by the various systems that play a
role in operating or planning the interconnection.
• To reduce the overall cost of maintaining critical models used in operating or planning
an interconnection.
The classes, attributes, and associations identified in this document represent the minimum
subset of the full CIM model necessary to exchange sufficient power system data to support
state estimation and power flow.
3.2 General requirements
The following requirements are
