Supporting artifacts for "Demystifying the Common Information Model," a full-day tutorial held on 19 July 2026 as part of the 2026 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (19–23 July 2026, Montreal). This repository contains the sample models, CIMTool projects, and supporting files used in the hands-on CIMTool profiling segment of the tutorial.
This repo is the artifact set consumed by the tutorial's preconfigured CIMTool devcontainer. Attendees don't need to clone this repository directly — the devcontainer pulls it automatically via curl and mounts it as a working drive inside the container, so everyone starts the hands-on session with an identical, ready-to-use environment.
For the devcontainer setup itself, see PNNL-CIM-Tools/cimgraph-demo for reference context on the pattern this environment follows.
| Artifact | Description |
|---|---|
| Sample CGMES models | CGMES Test Configurations v3.0.3, publicly available from ENTSO-E and used for CGMES attestation purposes |
| IEC 61968-9 AMI Meter Reading & Controls | CIMTool project (Sparx EA) for the AMI meter reading and controls profile |
| CGMES 3.0.0 (CIM17) | CIMTool project (Sparx EA) for the CGMES 3.0.0 / CIM17 profile |
| (additional artifacts) | To be added |
- Launch the tutorial devcontainer (provided separately at the session).
- The devcontainer automatically retrieves this repository via
curland mounts it as a drive inside the container — no manual setup required. - Open the CIMTool projects listed above from the mounted directory to follow along with the hands-on profiling exercises.
This session is presented in collaboration with Oncor Electric Delivery and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), with contributions from Brunel University London. It introduces the CIM standard and provides practical, hands-on experience profiling with CIMTool — the open-source model-management tool for the IEC CIM family of standards (IEC 61970, 61968, 62325, CGMES).
