CIM models the location of features with one or more position points. This set of position points is associated with a specific coordinate system.
To support this location model, the Core CIM model in NA includes Location, CoordinateSystem, and PositionPoint objects associated with all power system resources in the exported feeder.
- PowerSystemResource: A power system resource can be an item of equipment such as a Switch, an EquipmentContainer containing many individual items of equipment such as a Substation. A power system resource can have a location.
- Location: The place, scene, or point of something at a given moment in time. It is defined with one or more postition points (coordinates) in a given coordinate system.
- CoordinateSystem: The coordinate reference system for a location.
- PositionPoint: A set of spatial coordinates that determine a point location. Use a single position point instance to desribe a point-oriented location, and a sequence of position points to describe a line-oriented object.
