IEC 61968-13:2008 specifies the format and rules for exchanging modelling information based upon the Common Information Model ("CIM") and related to distribution network data. Allows the exchange of instance data in bulk. Thus, the imported network model data should be sufficient to allow performing network connectivity analysis, including network tracing, outage analysis, load flow calculations, etc. This standard could be used for synchronizing geographical information system databases with remote control system databases.
