CIM has been developing as a model for the power system domain that comprises, exhaustive list of all the objects in power systems, their attributes and relationships to subject possible past, present and future power system applications.

CIM has been developing as a model for the power system domain that comprises, exhaustive list of objects in power systems, their attributes and relationships to address possible past, present and future power system applications.

CIM has been evolved worldwide for use in model maintenance, network model exchange, and enterprise wide messaging and several integration issues at different areas such as planning, distribution, marketing, localized applications and field site applications, machine dynamics modeling, asset management etc.

CIM is a worldwide standard for use in network model maintenance, network model exchange, and enterprise wide messaging and several integration issues at different areas such as planning, distribution, marketing, localized applications and field site applications, machine dynamics modeling, asset management etc.

Thus, the current CIM standard is well mature enough to handle power system domain models.

Thus, the current CIM standard is mature enough to handle power system domain models.

Currently, the research has been exploring with emphasis on CIM Graphics exchange.

CIM Graphics exchange is one of such problems that many researchers are now attempting to address by developing CIM model extensions for power system graphics.

Thus, there is need to extend CIM on account of modeling graphical layout information for the power system domain.

The consensus by researchers on evolving standards, is to open-up systems from proprietary to achieve interoperability.
So, ensure that mapping would be done among standards, which are from different domains, will facilitates maintaining all systems with vendor independent.
Thus, along with CIM Graphics exchange, we focuses on translating/mapping CIM/Gx layout format to scalable vector graphics (SVG), an open standard technology, to visualize network schematics on screen/canvas or browsers.

Need for CIM Graphics:
Visualization of network is useful in power system
