“…However, various middle-ware technologies such as utility integration bus (UIB) [1], and many third party platforms are being used to integrate a variety of systems at utilities. A model driven integration (MDI) approach with specifying a canonical data model has been described for utility application integration [2]. Managing CIM model extensions with software systems and its integration with utility system are described in [3].…”

Although the standards-based systems integration of utility software applications using the domain data standard common information model (CIM) exists, many utilities are facing difficulties in managing of data exchanges among software application systems due to lack of standard oriented database management systems. The standard oriented database can be built from the CIM object oriented model using object-relational mapping (ORM). The generic design of ORM can handle object oriented model mapping to any database schema semantics. This paper presents a CIM oriented database (CIMODB) design through the object-relational mapping (ORM). The flexibility of data moving between object-oriented paradigms and relational database paradigms is achieved with the use of ORM concepts. Furthermore, the paper explores the integration of upstream power system applications with the proposed CIMODB, such as, topology processing, load-flow analysis, and more power system studies at the control center level from the legacy vendor software systems. A case study is illustrated to elaborate the CIMODB concept on the 400kV 20-substation Maharashtra network, which is the part of western region in India.
