DLR Calculation Engine Interoperability Profile: A Project for the TOGETs Task Force

This document contains a detailed interoperability profile outlining how the components of the CIM can be used to implement DLR in support of the two use cases identified in the Use Case Document. An interoperability profile is defined by the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) as a document that “specifies standards-based requirements for interfaces or applications that are accepted by the user-community, testing authorities, and other stakeholders. It specifies configuration options within a standard’s requirements sufficient to deliver the desired level of interoperability and functionality.” To that end, this document is not in itself a standard, nor has it been approved by any formal body. Rather, it is an example of how to implement the CIM standard and has been reviewed by industry, including transmission operators and DLR vendors.
