CIM and OPC UA for interoperability of micro-grid platforms
Nguyen Van Hoa, Yvon Bésanger, Quoc Tuan Tran · 2016
In this paper, we are interested in the problem of interoperability of micro-grid platforms, particularly in information and communication layers. The implementation of Common Information Model (CIM) semantic over OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) protocol, particularly the mapping of CIM semantic to OPC UA address space, is also considered, to ensure that the exchanged data is mutually and correctly understood by all the partners of the network We provide some insights about requirements to deliver OPC-based application via WAN connection. This combination brings CIM semantic to the OPC UA communication and allows the provision of OPC-based applications via WAN connection. This contribution enables a seamless and meaningful communication among partners of the collaboration network and provides a strong support for interoperability of micro-grid platforms.
