Overview

Interoperability of “smart grid” and consumer home energy management devices is hindered by the inability of the devices to communicate with each other. A task force of CCET members has been formed to promote use of the Common Information Model (CIM) to enable various applications to interoperate transparent to technology, vendor, or communications infrastructure.

Status: “Phase Zero” of the CIM study is complete and additional work is being considered.  The current focus is on home area networks and AMS.
