CIM Issues #5868
New BusSegment for busbar modeling
Description
The current BusBarSection class is a single terminal ConductingEquipment that represents where the physical busbar is in the substation.
In a recent use case presented from SaskPower (by Chuck and jointly with Judy), the busbar construction could be phased and different materials might be used among phases.
This will lead to a single busbar with multiple ratings (flow & voltage) and in a practical power-flow study, they would be modeled as multiple buses in order to report violations properly.

Proposed Solution
Chuck has presented a proposal on BusSegment as a two-terminal ConductingEquipment to 'separate' the single busbar into multiple pieces.
Details can be found as attached.
Decision
19-Sep-2024 Joint TF Hybrid Meetings - Minneapolis:
Reviewed. The following is needed:
- AI: Add required information to the 301 template.
- AI: Ensure it is in the 452 template.
- AI: Have agreed to take the normalRetained (in the -452) and retained (in the -456) approach to Switch and BusSegment
The above 3 action items have been completed in the model in CIM18v16 however, the 452 and 456 jCleanCim templates need to be updated using the use case documentation that Chuck has provided.
Release Notes
We added to both the Switch and BusSegment classes a new normalRetained attribute of type Boolean.
Profile specific impacts include the following:
- The BusSegment class has been added to the 452 Core EQ profile for CIM18.
- The BusSegment class has been added to the 456 SSH profile for CIM18.
- The new normalRetained attribute has been added to each of these respective classes within the 452 Core EQ profile and declared as required.
- The Switch.retained attribute which current exists in the 452 Core EQ profile has been moved to the 456 SSH profile and declared as required.
- The BusSegment.retained was added to the 456 SSH profile and declared as required.
