Project Creation

▪ EPRI is uniquely positioned to address this need

EPRI Power Delivery & Utilization

• Transmission

• Distribution

• Information, Communication & Cyber Security

Collaborative approach Depth and breadth of knowledge



▪ Started in 2012▪ Directly engaged 13 utilities so far▪ Produced 8 reports, including

– “Using the CIM for Network Analysis Data Management” (Product ID 3002002587)

▪ Over 5,000 downloads

– “NMM Technical Market Requirements: The Transmission Perspective” (Product ID 3002003053)

▪ Over 1,500 downloads▪ Used by 8 utilities in NMM procurements▪ Has influenced NMM tool products

▪ Has provided valuable input into CIM standard development

▪ Goal“A practical industry architecture for both product vendors and utilities that can guide the design and implementation of enterprise grid model management”

▪ Approach1. Leveraging earlier EPRI network model management work done in

transmission domain

2. Core team of passionate experts with wide variety of perspectives

3. Real-world grounding from participating utilities

4. Architecture development using EA philosophies and tools

5. Vetting of architecture by vendors and utilities

6. Incorporation of results into data exchange standards

Designing a reference architecture for an industry is

DIFFERENT from delivering a solution for one utility

2. - a real, but surmountable, challenge

– No ‘standard practice’ for a industry data management architecture

Utility Deep-Dives – Overview



▪ Since the project began: – Vendor briefing at DistribuTech 2019– Ongoing, in-depth conversations with 20 vendors– Offers to help with demonstrations at utility locations

▪ More formal engagement opportunities will arrive soon– Architecture more defined in the GMDM “second half”– Vendors can help refine and implement results of architecture work– Engage with individual utilities in their deep-dives

GMDM Vendor Engagement Opportunities



The diversity of GMDM project relationships

and EPRI’s Collaborative Research structure

creates new opportunities for

both utilities and vendors

Building the GMDM Collaboration Network
