Why should you attend this course?
Power sector in the current times is no longer such a domain, that the industry experts, the economists, and the academicians were so used to look-at from their own respective lenses. The classic power systems theory has been historically developed, well established and extensively studied. With the confluence of technologies from related domains such as power electronics, information & communication technologies, geographical information systems, micro-processor advancements, and new software architectural paradigms, the power system landscape has now become a multidisciplinary endeavour. Add to that the de-regulation of the electric power industry resulting in economic ingenuity by private participation, paved way for creative possibilities and new opportunities that have not existed before. Breakthroughs in development of economically viable renewable energy technologies have further broadened the horizons with its own set of opportunities and challenges. Common Information Model (CIM) is the culmination of two decades of collaborative efforts by experts from multiple domains world wide, to build an overarching model that represents the entire value chain of power sector covering all the above issues mentioned. CIM is not perfect, but it surely is a wealth of knowledge and is still an evolving standard. It has already proved its benefits in bringing together various kinds of power utilities into a seamless information network in many systems worldwide.
This first ever comprehensive course on CIM in India, aims to introduce CIM from basics to advanced topics with emphasis on Indian scenario. The course is also an opportunity to listen from the experiences of fellow participants and chart a roadmap for further research in this field. The learning curve will be steep. We have no doubt this course would be of value for a forward thinking power engineer. Hence we earnestly welcome you to attend this course.
Its not whether to attend, but when to attend? The answer is now...!!
