Inheritance

Attributes

Name URI Cardinality and Range Description Inheritance
SolarPowerPlant eu:SolarGeneratingUnit.SolarPowerPlant No cardinality available SolarPowerPlant A solar power plant may have solar generating units. direct
ControlAreaGeneratingUnit cim:GeneratingUnit.ControlAreaGeneratingUnit No cardinality available ControlAreaGeneratingUnit ControlArea specifications for this generating unit. GeneratingUnit
genControlSource cim:GeneratingUnit.genControlSource No cardinality available GeneratorControlSource The source of controls for a generating unit. Defines the control status of the generating unit. GeneratingUnit
governorSCD cim:GeneratingUnit.governorSCD No cardinality available PerCent Governor Speed Changer Droop. This is the change in generator power output divided by the change in frequency normalized by the nominal power of the generator and the nominal frequency and expressed in percent and negated. A positive value of speed change droop provides additional generator output upon a drop in frequency. GeneratingUnit
longPF cim:GeneratingUnit.longPF No cardinality available float Generating unit long term economic participation factor. GeneratingUnit
maximumAllowableSpinningReserve cim:GeneratingUnit.maximumAllowableSpinningReserve No cardinality available ActivePower Maximum allowable spinning reserve. Spinning reserve will never be considered greater than this value regardless of the current operating point. GeneratingUnit
maxOperatingP cim:GeneratingUnit.maxOperatingP No cardinality available ActivePower This is the maximum operating active power limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit. GeneratingUnit
minOperatingP cim:GeneratingUnit.minOperatingP No cardinality available ActivePower This is the minimum operating active power limit the dispatcher can enter for this unit. GeneratingUnit
nominalP cim:GeneratingUnit.nominalP No cardinality available ActivePower The nominal power of the generating unit. Used to give precise meaning to percentage based attributes such as the governor speed change droop (governorSCD attribute).
The attribute shall be a positive value equal to or less than RotatingMachine.ratedS. GeneratingUnit
ratedGrossMaxP cim:GeneratingUnit.ratedGrossMaxP No cardinality available ActivePower The unit's gross rated maximum capacity (book value).
The attribute shall be a positive value. GeneratingUnit
ratedGrossMinP cim:GeneratingUnit.ratedGrossMinP No cardinality available ActivePower The gross rated minimum generation level which the unit can safely operate at while delivering power to the transmission grid.
The attribute shall be a positive value. GeneratingUnit
ratedNetMaxP cim:GeneratingUnit.ratedNetMaxP No cardinality available ActivePower The net rated maximum capacity determined by subtracting the auxiliary power used to operate the internal plant machinery from the rated gross maximum capacity.
The attribute shall be a positive value. GeneratingUnit
shortPF cim:GeneratingUnit.shortPF No cardinality available float Generating unit short term economic participation factor. GeneratingUnit
startupCost cim:GeneratingUnit.startupCost No cardinality available Money The initial startup cost incurred for each start of the GeneratingUnit. GeneratingUnit
variableCost cim:GeneratingUnit.variableCost No cardinality available Money The variable cost component of production per unit of ActivePower. GeneratingUnit
startupTime cim:GeneratingUnit.startupTime No cardinality available Seconds Time it takes to get the unit on-line, from the time that the prime mover mechanical power is applied. GeneratingUnit
totalEfficiency cim:GeneratingUnit.totalEfficiency No cardinality available PerCent The efficiency of the unit in converting the fuel into electrical energy. GeneratingUnit
GrossToNetActivePowerCurves cim:GeneratingUnit.GrossToNetActivePowerCurves No cardinality available GrossToNetActivePowerCurve A generating unit may have a gross active power to net active power curve, describing the losses and auxiliary power requirements of the unit. GeneratingUnit
RotatingMachine cim:GeneratingUnit.RotatingMachine No cardinality available RotatingMachine A synchronous machine may operate as a generator and as such becomes a member of a generating unit. GeneratingUnit
aggregate cim:Equipment.aggregate No cardinality available boolean The aggregate flag provides an alternative way of representing an aggregated (equivalent) element. It is applicable in cases when the dedicated classes for equivalent equipment do not have all of the attributes necessary to represent the required level of detail. In case the flag is set to “true” the single instance of equipment represents multiple pieces of equipment that have been modelled together as an aggregate equivalent obtained by a network reduction procedure. Examples would be power transformers or synchronous machines operating in parallel modelled as a single aggregate power transformer or aggregate synchronous machine.
The attribute is not used for EquivalentBranch, EquivalentShunt and EquivalentInjection. Equipment
normallyInService cim:Equipment.normallyInService No cardinality available boolean Specifies the availability of the equipment under normal operating conditions. True means the equipment is available for topology processing, which determines if the equipment is energized or not. False means that the equipment is treated by network applications as if it is not in the model. Equipment
EquipmentContainer cim:Equipment.EquipmentContainer No cardinality available EquipmentContainer Container of this equipment. Equipment
OperationalLimitSet cim:Equipment.OperationalLimitSet No cardinality available OperationalLimitSet The operational limit sets associated with this equipment. Equipment
description cim:IdentifiedObject.description No cardinality available string The description is a free human readable text describing or naming the object. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy. IdentifiedObject
energyIdentCodeEic eu:IdentifiedObject.energyIdentCodeEic No cardinality available string The attribute is used for an exchange of the EIC code (Energy identification Code). The length of the string is 16 characters as defined by the EIC code. For details on EIC scheme please refer to ENTSO-E web site. IdentifiedObject
mRID cim:IdentifiedObject.mRID No cardinality available string Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended.
For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements. IdentifiedObject
name cim:IdentifiedObject.name No cardinality available string The name is any free human readable and possibly non unique text naming the object. IdentifiedObject
shortName eu:IdentifiedObject.shortName No cardinality available string The attribute is used for an exchange of a human readable short name with length of the string 12 characters maximum. IdentifiedObject
