IEC CIM User Group Europe 2022

DSO of the Future: Integrating the Total Energy Solution

The UCA International Users Group invites members of the energy industry to attend the CIM Users Group – European 2022 Fall Meeting, “DSO of the Future: Integrating the Total Energy Solution” hosted by Alliander on 3-5 October, 2022 in Arnhem, Netherlands.  This meeting will emphasize the needs and features of the future DSO and explore how data integration techniques and best practices using CIM can be used to achieve the total energy solution for the 21st Century.  Whether you are a CIM novice or expert, this meeting will provide a forum to learn more about CIM and network with indusry colleagues.

Michael Covarrubias, VP of Strategy and Solutions, will be there from Xtensible. Be sure to find him to ask questions about the long history Xtensible has with the CIM and how we are actively supporting utilities in the implementation and extension of CIM.

What Is CIM?

The CIM is an international standard now globally accepted for modeling the information exchanges required in electric utilities. The CIM is independent of any individual application, middleware, or message protocols used for data exchange. The interoperability enabled by the CIM standards is a key factor for achieving the Smart Grid vision.

The CIM Users Group (CIMug) was formed to promote progress of the CIM and to share project experiences. The users group holds two meetings each year (one in Europe and one in the U.S.). Recognized experts share their insights and resolve key technical issues. Each meeting also includes pre-conference tutorials, vendor exhibits, and social networking opportunities.

Who Should Attend?

Utilities, energy companies, RTO/ISOs and others involved in developing standards-based enterprise information architectures and integration frameworks to meet their business challenges will find this conference invaluable. Project managers, system architects, business and IT managers, and control center personnel will all benefit from this meeting. With the focus on Smart Grid interoperability and distribution applications, vendors with CIM-based products they plan to make available to this community will want to reserve a Vendor Table to demonstrate their products and discuss service offerings.

The meeting is open to all current or potential CIM users – you do not have to be a CIM User Group member to attend. Attendees gain first-hand access to CIM experts and come away with new insights on how to realize the power of CIM-based integration.
