The use of the ontological approach in the formation of information support for the automation of technical systems is becoming widespread. The application of ontology is especially relevant when designing control systems for smart distributed energy systems. The development of such systems is accompanied by different problems, primarily caused by the lack of a unified and sufficient information environment for describing the subject area. In this regard, it is important to ensure the advancement of the ontology for distributed energy systems using existing CIM standards and various extensions that include entities specific to the domain of decentralized energy. The paper describes an approach to the formation of the ontology of smart distributed energy systems, assesses the possibility of using existing ontologies to extend CIM, and considers the matter of integrating a CIM-based ontology with other domain ontologies. A description of an ontology update process is presented, which ensures the maintenance of the ontology in a form that corresponds to the needs of the digital platform stakeholders. The developed ontology is planned to be used to form a unified information model of the distributed energy domain when developing a Russian digital platform for managing distributed energy resources - the ∀Platform.
