SHEPD- LTDS CIM EQ Profile
The LTDS CIM dataset provides a structured representation of the Long-Term Development Statement (LTDS) using the Common Information Model (CIM), enabling consistent data exchange and network modelling across Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). A central component of this dataset is the LTDS Equipment (EQ) Profile, which forms the foundational layer of physical grid data. The EQ Profile describes the physical equipment and connectivity of the distribution network, covering assets from the 132kV level (or EHV in Scotland) down to the lower voltage busbars of primary substations. It includes: • Busbar sections and their connectivity nodes. • Switching devices such as breakers, disconnectors, fuses, and load break switches, including representative feeder breakers for aggregated modelling. • Circuits, modelled via AC line segments with impedance and seasonal ampacity limits. • Transformers, including winding details, tap changers, and seasonal apparent power limits. • Loads, represented as aggregated energy consumers • Generation and storage, modelled by fuel type and connection voltage, using appropriate CIM classes (e.g., SynchronousMachine, PowerElectronicsConnection). • Compensators, including shunt, series, and static VAr devices. • Containment and voltage level associations, defining the hierarchical structure of substations, voltage levels, and geographical regions. • External connections and model reductions, using equivalent injections and branches to represent networks outside the licensee’s scope. This profile underpins other future LTDS CIM profiles such as Short Circuit (SC), Geographical Location (GL), and Steady State Hypothesis (SSH), and is essential for building Full Models and Difference Models used in planning, forecasting, and regulatory reporting. This dataset is designed to support interoperability, planning, and analysis across DNOs and stakeholders.
