Company Introduction
“Confidential & Proprietary Information – CEII”
CenterPoint Energy (CNP) Houston Electric
• About 25% of ERCOT load;
• 5,000 square‐mile electric
service territory serving 2+
million customers;
• Own and maintain the
power lines and electric
distribution system;
• Installing 2+ million smart
meters.
Main reasons to use Common Information Modeling (CIM) at CenterPoint Energy:
1.
Texas Nodal protocol requirement
2.
Model exchangeable with ERCOT entities,
3.
Model exchangeable between internal
applications;
4.
To Standardize a way exchanging messages.

CIM Modeling
“Confidential & Proprietary Information – CEII”
2005 Initial efforts to convert CNP EMS model to CIM/XML.
2006 ERCOT initiated its NMMS project in 2006.
2007 Contracted to purchase a Common Modeling
Management (CMM) System.
1/2009 CNP CMM system in production.
9/2009 ERCOT implemented Single Entry Modeling in NMMS
Present Incremental Model files are exchangeable between
ERCOT and CenterPoint Energy.
CenterPoint Energy CMM systemProduction System: Redundant setup
Development System: Single server setup
Currently we are using CMM to1.
Exchange incremental model files with ERCOT
Nodal Model Management System

System and Processes:
Positives– One Common Model (ERCOT and CNP)
– Fewer application interfaces (e.g., substation model for
DMS)
– Graphic user interface to edit model changes
– Easy access to ERCOT models
– Time‐based model changes
Challenges– Heavy dependency on ERCOT defined schema
– Managing attributes in different namespaces
– Ever‐changing model schema initiated by ERCOT
– Restrictive rules from downstream applications

Future Plan
“Confidential & Proprietary Information – CEII”
CIM/XML models are used in our Network Applications
CNP Network Applications =
Time‐based CIM/XML models + Time‐based auto‐generated one‐lines + Time‐base PI Historian data + Applications
