About The Event

The GMDM IOP Event, hosted by EPRI and managed by UCAIug, is a multi-vendor interoperability event that will be testing and demonstrating the exchange of distribution grid model data using Common Information Model (CIM) standards. Data exchanges to be tested reflect the latest in CIM developments


Who Should Attend

Software vendor whose tools create, manage or depend on distribution grid model data (like GIS, planning tools, engineering design tools, OMS, DMS, DERMS, field enablement apps) can be IOP participants. Vendors will have the opportunity to develop and test CIM interfaces reflecting the most current CIM profiles and the best of industry grid data management design.Vendor tools participating in the IOP will receive a Certificate of Participation and mention in the Final IOP Test Report. 

Utilities, integration consultants, and representatives from research organizations, universities and regulators can participate as Test Witnesses. Test Witnesses will receive a full day of training on the Common Information Model, the GMDM information architecture and the responsibilities of IOP test witnessing. Familiarity with distribution grid model data or the Common Information Model is desirable. Utility personnel are excellent Test Witness candidates from GIS groups, Enterprise Architecture teams, distribution planning departments, and control center operations support teams.
