CIM Issues #6786
Add clarification that BaseVoltage.nominalVoltage is line-to-line
Description
For distribution modeling, there is ambiguity whether BaseVoltage.nominalVoltage is line-to-neutral or line-to-line.
Existing description: "The power system resource's base voltage. Shall be a positive value and not zero."
Proposed description: "The power system resource's base voltage, expressed on a line-to-line basis. Shall be a positive value and not zero."
Proposed Solution
For distribution modeling, there is ambiguity whether BaseVoltage.nominalVoltage is line-to-neutral or line-to-line.
Existing description: "The power system resource's base voltage. Shall be a positive value and not zero."
Proposed description: "The power system resource's base voltage, expressed on a line-to-line basis. Shall be a positive value and not zero."
Decision
05-Jun-2024 - Reviewed in weekly TF13 call:
After a thorough discussion TF13 has confirmed the following updates in CIM18:
Update the description to BaseVoltage.nominalVoltage:
"The power system resource's base voltage, expressed on a phase-to-phase (line-to-line) basis. Shall be a positive value and not zero."
From Electropedia.com both line-to-line and phase-to-phase are noted but that line-to-line is a regionalized term so we want to include both but to add the later parenthetically.
Update description on the BaseVoltage class to:
"Defines a system base voltage which is referenced. This may be different than the rated voltage."
Release Notes
- the description of BaseVoltage class was changed to "Defines a system base voltage which is referenced. This may be different than the rated voltage."
- the description to BaseVoltage.nominalVoltage was changed to "The power system resource's base voltage, expressed on a phase-to-phase (line-to-line) basis. Shall be a positive value and not zero."
