ENTSO-ECommon Grid Model Exchange Standard (CGMES) Library
The CGMES Library contains all the documents approved by ENTSO-E or IEC for the harmonisation and implementation of standards related to CGMES in both system operation and system development areas. Therefore provided documentation enables exchanges for the data necessary for regional or pan-European grid development studies, and for system operation processes required from the network codes. For any maintenance request on ENTSO-E documents, please use the maintenance request form and send it to cim@entsoe.eu
