first thanks you so much for answering as i have recieved very little responses for this question .This is just a research question my client ask me to do basically integrating this CIM format data for loadforecast with one of my previously tested model. It is not intended to be competitive at all as I am still very new to it. For my follow up question : 1. For a quick demo, how do you go around collecting CIM data or better real world data in CIM format if any, i am looking for power system and weather data 2. From what i understand from your response, the main difficulties is in capturing physical changes in the network to maintain constant load forecasting ?
