Outage

Document describing details of an active or planned outage in a part of the electrical network. A non-planned outage may be created upon: - a breaker trip, - a fault indicator status change, - a meter event indicating customer outage, - a reception of one or more customer trouble calls, or - an operator command, reflecting information obtained from the field crew. Outage restoration may be performed using a switching plan which complements the outage information with detailed switching activities, including the relationship to the crew and work. A planned outage may be created upon: - a request for service, maintenance or construction work in the field, or - an operator-defined outage for what-if/contingency network analysis.

The single CIM data object in the appropriate dataset context.

aliasName

0..1

string

The aliasName is free text human readable name of the object alternative to IdentifiedObject.name. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy. The attribute aliasName is retained because of backwards compatibility between CIM relases. It is however recommended to replace aliasName with the Name class as aliasName is planned for retirement at a future time.

The description is a free human readable text describing or naming the object. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy.

docStatus

0..1

Status

Status of this document. For status of subject matter this document represents (e.g., Agreement, Work), use 'status' attribute. Example values for 'docStatus.status' are draft, approved, cancelled, etc.

mRID

0..1

string

Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended. For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements.
