Integration & Analytics — CIM Enterprise Grid Authority Platform

SISCO GridCore™

Modern utilities run a dozen or more disconnected systems — EMS, DMS, OMS, market platforms, and analytics — each maintaining its own version of the grid. SISCO GridCore™ establishes a single, governed CIM-based enterprise grid model that every connected system can rely on, built on IEC 61970/61968, aligned with IEC 61850 and ICCP, and secured to IEC 62351.

Model 
​Governance

Controls who can create, modify, or approve changes to the enterprise grid model, enforcing CIM as the single source of truth across every connected system.

Profile Enforcement & CIM File Validation

Ensures CIM files conform to configured profiles, then validates structure, topology, and business rules before changes are committed.

Model Synchronization

Propagates approved changes across connected systems so every application works from the same governed, validated grid view.

What SISCO GridCore™ Delivers

Modern utilities run a dozen or more disconnected systems — EMS, DMS, OMS, market platforms, asset management, and analytics — each maintaining its own version of the grid. Every new integration is custom work, model drift compounds over time, and no system holds the authoritative truth. SISCO GridCore™ resolves this at the source: it doesn't just move data between systems, it governs the model itself, enforcing consistent semantics and CIM profile compliance beneath every connected application.  
Deployable in phases alongside existing operational systems — governs what utilities already operate rather than replacing it.

  • Governance controls over who can create, modify, or approve changes to the enterprise grid model
  • Profile Enforcement ensures CIM Instance and Difference Files conform to the selected CIM Profile
  • CIM File Validation checks structure, references, topology, semantics, and business rules before changes are committed
  • Version tracking for every model change — states are recorded, manageable, and reversible
  • Model synchronization that propagates approved changes across connected systems
  • Subscription management — each application receives only the CIM data subset defined by its Application Profile, eliminating data overload

Technical Specifications

SISCO GridCore™ is built on the same standards it governs — CIM at the core, aligned with substation and control-center protocols, and secured from the model authority layer down.
    • IEC 61970 / IEC 61968 (CIM) — core enterprise grid model foundation; the semantic language SISCO GridCore™ governs, validates, and distributes
    • IEC 61850 — substation and field device data alignment, from the control center to the grid edge
    • IEC 60870-6 TASE.2 (ICCP) — control center communications alignment for real-time inter-utility data exchange
    • IEC 62351 — cybersecurity foundation (TLS, identity, and trust controls), secured at the model authority layer, not retrofitted
    • Supports digital twin initiatives requiring a governed, validated semantic foundation
    • Vendor-neutral architecture built entirely on IEC standards — no proprietary lock-in
