A data model for the description of electrical power systems.
Field of Application
This data model is intended to describe electrical power systems. It provides a hierarchical structure/schema to describe unique entity relations as well as parameter sets.
The data model is structured as the following schema:
Grid Topology
This is the base topology containing all elements of the exported grid:
- Branches (symmetrical: overhead lines, cables, fuses from type "branch")
- Nodes
- Transformers (symmetrical: 2- or 3-winding)
- External grids
- Loads (consumer, producer, grid assets)

In addition to the explicitly defined element attributes, it is possible to save user-specific additional information as optional AttributeData (Export example of powerfactory-tools).
Topology Case
This holds information about disabled elements to represent a specific operational case based on the base topology.

Steadystate Case
This holds information for a specific operational case such as:
- power draw/infeed of load
- tap posistion of transformer
- operating point of external grid

General Remarks
Please find below some important general remarks and assumptions to consider for consistent usage across different applications:
- The passive sign convention should be used for all types of loads (consumer as well as producer).
- Numeric values should be set using the SI unit convention.
- Topology
- Only symmetrical grid assets, e.g. transformer or line, are supported.
- The Rated Power should always be defined positive (absolute value).
- The interaction between load models and controllers are depicted in the following schematic:
