The “definition of openBIM-based Workflows and Exchanges for Electric Power Transmission and Distribution” Activity Proposal is now out for review by the Standards Committee.

Vote closing date: 10 May 2024
Report: Link

The “openBIM-based Workflows and Exchanges for Electric Power Transmission and Distribution” Activity Proposal addresses examining the requirements of high-voltage electrical power transmission and distribution data modeling and exchange to be shared using the openBIM processes and principles. It should be noted that the intent is NOT to replace any existing electrical engineering or energy industry standards but supplement them with an openBIM-based approach to the delivery, operations, and portfolio management of the power transmission and distribution network physical assets. Each step of the value chain electrical energy should be analysed and reviewed with regard to the required taxonomy of entities, types and related properties.
