• Overview of KCP&L
• CIM / PI AF Project
 A Convergence of Opportunities
 Main Goal
 Situation Without Project

Closing the Loop
 Asset-Related Applications
 Applications
• Interoperability Test
• Project Status
• Questions

• Over 810,000 customers
• Peak in excess of 5,660 MW
• Service territory across 47 counties in MO and KS covering 17,934 sq. miles
• Over 3,170 employees
• 30 office/service center locations
• 9 generation plant sites and 10 peaking facilities
• 3,309 miles transmission lines
• 24,466 miles of overhead distribution lines
• 3,400 miles of underground distribution lines
• 322 substations

A Convergence of Opportunities
• EMS comes with PI Historian
– Stores history of EMS real-time point data
– PI features for model-based access to tags
– Utilizes standards-based CIM model for
EMS database configuration

Main Goal
Transmission Engineering Interest in moving from
Event-based maintenance to
Condition-Based Maintenance

Environment
Situation Without Project

EMS gathering 50,000+ points of real-time data

CIM database where equipment and associated real-time data points defined for EMS
PI Server
..

Point data history stored in PI tags, but accessible only by point name

PI product (AF) able to model equipment’s relationships to tags, but product not currently used field devices

Closing the Loop

Export CIM model data to PI AF product

Create PI equipment / asset model for retrieving historic tag data
GDA
(Utility Integration Bus)
.
.
• Create infrastructure for generalized retrieval of historic real-time information
– on equipment basis (by reference to equipment location in system)
– on asset basis no matter where asset has been moved in system
• Generalized retrieval is essential to the creation of applications field devices

• Demonstrate interoperability between ABB, SISCO and
OSISoft’s products based on the CIM and/or GDA.
• Verify compliance with the CIM for those CIM classes/attributes involved in the information exchanges.
• Demonstrate the exchange of power system models using the CIM and an RDF schema and XML representation of the model data.
• Demonstrate exchange between ABB and SISCO products using the services defined in the GDA Client and Server interface standard.
