Why should you use DD CLC/TS 61970-2- Energy management system application program interface (EMS-API)?
An energy management system is a computer system comprising a software platform that provides basic support services and a set of applications providing the functionality needed for the effective operation of electrical generation and transmission facilities to assure adequate security of energy supply at minimum cost.
DD CLC/TS 61970-2 is a technical specification that is a part of the IEC 61970 series. It defines an Application Program Interface (API) for an Energy Management System (EMS). It is based upon the work of the EPRI Control Centre API (CCAPI) research project (RP-3654-1).
DD CLC/TS 61970-2 explains the principle objectives of the EPRI CCAPI project, which are to:
- Reduce the cost and time needed to add new applications to an EMS
- Protect the investment in existing applications that are working effectively in an EMS
The principal task of the CCAPI project is to develop a set of guidelines, or specifications, to enable the creation of “plug-in” applications3 in the control centre environment.
DD CLC/TS 61970-2 provides a glossary of terms and abbreviations that are specific to the IEC 61970 series and that require interpretation as to how they were used in it. DD CLC/TS 61970-2 can help you in conveying the information regarding the EMS API by using appropriate terms for communicating and understanding the concepts which are used in the service process of the energy management system application program interface (EMS-API).
