Welcome to the Fundamentals of IEC CIM Online Training Programme

This 12-week community-based learning event has been developed in collaboration with 20+ CIM specialists from across the smart grid sector, to ensure that your teams have all the theoretical and practical knowledge they need to embark on their CIM implementation journey with confidence. 

As the demand for decentralized smart grid applications grows, utilities face increasing complexity with the volume of stakeholder demand for data. Interoperable data exchange between grid systems has become essential to support the development of a robust, sustainable energy system. CIM provides an opportunity for a single source of truth - a common language that enables efficient data exchange between different players in the grid ecosystem. With growing regulatory demand for interoperability and CIM adoption becoming a prescribed condition of utility licenses, it is now vital that utility technical teams commit to developing the skillset needed to navigate the complexities of grid data exchange, and develop strategies for realising the opportunities presented by CIM to extract maximum value from grid data.
