IEC 61968-13:20 21规定了可用于在公用设施中或公用设施与公用设施外部应用程序之间交换网络模型的配置文件。本文档提供了一系列配置文件，这些配置文件允许对平衡和不平衡配电网进行建模，以便进行网络分析（潮流计算）。因此，它利用现有的配置文件（基于IEC 61970-301（CIM基础）的IEC 61970-45x或基于IEC 61968-11 CIM扩展的配置文件进行分发）。本文档重用了一些概要文件而不做任何更改，或者最终扩展或限制它们。此外，它还提出了其他配置文件来反映分销需求。 在分销中使用CIM并不是一个新话题。本文档包括信息部分，作为CIM模型扩展，可以集成到IEC CIM模型的未来版本中。这些扩展已被一些公用事业公司用于公用事业公司内部信息交换用例，并支持不同市场参与者之间的信息交换，如输电系统运营商(TSO)、分布式系统运营商(DSO)、分布式网络运营商(DNO)和重要电网用户（SGU），包括发电机和工业。 这第二版取消并取代了2008年出版的第一版。本版构成技术修订版。该版本在2016年ENTSO-E互操作性测试期间进行了预测试。互操作性测试报告提到:“一些供应商证明了配电网络和CGMES之间的转换是可能的。这是努力在CGMES和用于交换配电数据(CDPSM)的配置文件之间实现更紧密集成的第一步。”

IEC 61968-13:2021 specifies profiles that can be used to exchange Network Models in a Utility or between a Utility and external applications to the utility. This document provides a list of profiles which allow to model balanced and unbalanced distribution networks in order to conduct network analysis (Power flow calculation). Therefore it leverages already existing profiles (IEC 61970-45x based on IEC 61970-301 (CIM base) or profiles based on IEC 61968-11 CIM extension for Distribution). This document reuses some profiles without any change, or eventually extends them or restricts them. Moreover it proposes other profiles to reflect Distribution needs.
Use of CIM in Distribution is not a new topic. This document includes informative parts, as CIM model extensions, which could be integrated in future versions of the IEC CIM Model. These extensions have been used by some utilities for utility internal information exchange use cases and to support information exchanges between different market participants like Transmisstion System Operators (TSO), Distributed System Operators (DSO), Distributed Network Operators (DNO) and Significant Grid Users (SGU) including generators and industry.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition was pre-tested during 2016 ENTSO-E interoperability tests. The interoperability test report mentions: "Some vendors demonstrated that the transformation between distribution network and CGMES is possible. This is a first step towards the efforts to have closer integration between CGMES and profiles for exchanging distribution data (CDPSM)."
