An improved system and method of automating the integration of different
Energy Management Systems (EMS) electrical power grid databases into a
single power grid database. This method imports proprietary EMS raw data
from various vendors' formats into a Common Information Model (CIM) with
specific connectivity extensions and produces an electrically connected
power systems database that can be viewed or edited. Direct network
topology conversion from one EMS vendor data format to another is also
supported. Two generated databases can then be selectively integrated and
maintained to produce a fully populated network topology without
disclosing EMS vendor specific proprietary information. The new, possibly
larger, database can then be added to yet another database that is
similarly processed.
