A Data Integration Platform Research of Power Grid Whole Life Management Based on BIM

Power grid is a complicated and huge system, many links are involved during its life-cycle, and serious information exchange and sharing problems can be found between these links, they restrict the level of power grids informatization construction. With the presentation of building information modeling (BIM) and the application of IFC standard, the research for building different life cycle stages of information exchange and sharing is strongly pushed forward as well as gained good results. The successful application of BIM in construction business provides great chance for grid whole life data information integration and sharing. After intensively studying every links business and data characteristics of power grid, cooperated with the BIM theory, this paper comes up with a method that applies BIM theory into power system data integration and sharing, with an electric power data integration platform construction scheme based on BIM, by which grid full life cycle of data integration and sharing problem can be successfully solved.
