The Use of CIM Standards in Managing BIG Utility Data

Due to the implementation of Smart Grid Technologies, the Electric Utilities are now facing with new challenges of dealing with large volume of real time and near real time data from the transmission and distribution systems. These Big sets of data are vital in efficient asset management, outage manage- ment, meter data management, customer service management, fast and interactive real time control and operation of the transmission and distribution systems. This panel will explore the application of the well established IEC Common Information Model standards in managing the BIG Utility data.
