Common Information Model for Electromagnetic Transients (CIM for EMT): CRADA 533 [Abstract only}
The control and protection functions of inverter-based resources (IBR) have raised concerns with bulk system reliability. Most of the current interest lies with solar photovoltaic generation but increasing amounts of storage would pose the same risks. Newer North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) guidelines call for electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies of IBR and recommend that transmission operators collect distributed energy resource (DER) data to support such modeling. IEEE Standard P2800.1 is defining tests for model parameterization, so good model data should become available from inverter vendors. (EMT studies also apply to large power transformer reliability, and transformer vendors can provide EMT models.) Utilities don’t currently have the rest of the bulk system represented for EMT studies at large scale. An International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard Common Information Model (CIM) provides a way of supporting these detailed models from physical asset data, e.g., conductors, towers, transformer data sheets, control block diagrams, while avoiding software vendor lock-in. CIM-for-EMT, with proposed schema extensions and open-source converters, provides a way to exchange EMT data between organizations and tools. This project leverages Office of Electricity (OE) funding of CIM-for-EMT code base through the GridAPPS-DTM project, and of GridPACKTM (parallelized transmission solver), for interoperability testing in CIM-for-EMT. The project also leverages partner PGSTech investments in EMTP® interoperability with CIM.

Modelling I and C systems with relays for simulation, adapting CIM standards - 243
As the nuclear power plants are in operation for many years, a main issue is to integrate simulation activities in parallel to the present I and C design process in order to limit impacts on current operating I and C engineering process and commissioning activities. The objective is to keep the existing I and C data and diagrams format. EDF chose to build an intermediate file independent of the tool used for simulation to exchange and store data. This file has been created adapting CIM standards (IEC 61968-13 and IEC 61970-301). It is an XML file built according to an RDF schema. CIM standards are intended to model transport or distribution electrical networks and used to facilitate system integration and information exchanges. We chose to adapt CIM to model EDF electromechanical relay circuitries in order to re-use all methods and tools developed around CIM standards such as RDF schema and RiseClipse, an open source tool developed by EDF and SUPELEC engineering school that will be used to verify exported I and C data according to a data model and to EDF engineering rules. This paper will describe the ongoing project on simulation in parallel to current I and C design process, focusing on how I and C electromechanical relays data are modelled based on CIM standards, and what benefits that model provides to I and C Verification and Validation activities.

The CEOP Inter-Monsoon Studies (CIMS)
Prediction of climate relies on models, and better model prediction depends on good model physics. Improving model physics requires the maximal utilization of climate data of the past, present and future. CEOP provides the first example of a comprehensive, integrated global and regional data set, consisting of globally gridded data, reference site in-situ observations, model location time series (MOLTS), and integrated satellite data for a two-year period covering two complete annual cycles of 2003-2004. The monsoon regions are the most important socio-economically in terms of devastation by floods and droughts, and potential impacts from climate change md fluctuatinns nf the hydrologic cyc!e. Scientifically, it is most challenging, because of complex interactions of atmosphere, land and oceans, local vs. remote forcings in contributing to climate variability and change in the region. Given that many common features, and physical teleconnection exist among different monsoon regions, an international research focus on monsoon must be coordinated and sustained. Current models of the monsoon are grossly inadequate for regional predictions. For improvement, models must be confronted with relevant observations, and model physic developers must be made to be aware of the wealth of information from existing climate data, field measurements, and satellite data that can be used to improve models. Model transferability studles must be conducted. CIMS is a major initiative under CEOP to engage the modeling and the observational communities to join in a coordinated effort to study the monsoons. The objectives of CIMS are (a) To provide a better understanding of fundamental physical processes (diurnal cycle, annual cycle, and intraseasonal oscillations) in monsoon regions around the world and (b) To demonstrate the synergy and utility of CEOP data in providing a pathway for model physics evaluation and improvement. In this talk, I will present the basic concepts of CIMS and the key scientific problems facing monsoon climates and provide examples of common monsoon features, and possible monsoon induced teleconnections linking different parts of the world.

A method for extracting calibrated volatility information from the FIGAERO-HR-ToF-CIMS and its experimental application
The Filter Inlet for Gases and AEROsols (FIGAERO) is an inlet specificallydesigned to be coupled with the Aerodyne High-Resolution Time-of-FlightChemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-CIMS). The FIGAERO-HR-ToF-CIMSprovides simultaneous molecular information relating to both the gas- andparticle-phase samples and has been used to extract vapour pressures (VPs) ofthe compounds desorbing from the filter whilst giving quantitativeconcentrations in the particle phase. However, such extraction of vapourpressures of the measured particle-phase components requires use ofappropriate, well-defined, reference compounds. Vapour pressures for thehomologous series of polyethylene glycols (PEG)((H-(O-CH 2 -CH 2 )n-OH) for n=3 to n=8), covering a rangeof vapour pressures (VP) (10 -1 to 10 -7 Pa) that areatmospherically relevant, have been shown to be reproduced well by a range ofdifferent techniques, including Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry (KEMS).This is the first homologous series of compounds for which a number of vapourpressure measurement techniques have been found to be in agreement,indicating the utility as a calibration standard, providing an ideal set ofbenchmark compounds for accurate characterization of the FIGAERO forextracting vapour pressure of measured compounds in chambers and the realatmosphere. To demonstrate this, single-component and mixture vapour pressuremeasurements are made using two FIGAERO-HR-ToF-CIMS instruments based on anew calibration determined from the PEG series. VP values extracted from bothinstruments agree well with those measured by KEMS and reported values fromliterature, validating this approach for extracting VP data from the FIGAERO.This method is then applied to chamber measurements, and the vapour pressuresof known products are estimated.

Positive and Negative Ion CIMS Measurements, SGP, May-June 2024
The negative ion measurements were taken using two LTOF-CIMS with two different nitrate inlets. The data labeled Aerodyne_Inlet used an Aerodyne nitrate inlet. Data labeled PCC used a custom transverse inlet. The positive ion measurements were taken using one LTOF-CIMS with hydronium as an ionization reagent using a custom transverse inlet with an inlet voltage difference of 700 V. See https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpca.2c01672 for more information. Peaks were autofit using tofware. Positive ion data is published in the form of peak signal/reagent signal. Data files of peak signal/reagent signal for the two mass spectrometers for the negative ion measurements are separate. Concentrations of H2SO4 are combined into one file. When measurements were overlapping, measurements from the Aerodyne nitrate inlet were used.

CIM's bridge from CADD to CAM: Data management requirements for manufacturing engineering
Manufacturing engineering represents the crossroads of technical data management in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. Process planning, numerical control programming and tool design are the key functions which translate information from as engineered to as assembled. In order to transition data from engineering to manufacturing, it is necessary to introduce a series of product interpretations which contain an interim introduction of technical parameters. The current automation of the product definition and the production process places manufacturing engineering in the center of CAD/CAM with the responsibility of communicating design data to the factory floor via a manufacturing model of the data. A close look at data management requirements for manufacturing engineering is necessary in order to establish the overall specifications for CADD output, CAM input, and CIM integration. The functions and issues associated with the orderly evolution of computer aided engineering and manufacturing are examined.

Observations of VOC Emissions and Photochemical Products over US Oil- and Gas-Producing Regions Using High-Resolution H3O+ CIMS (PTR-ToF-MS)
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) related to oil and gas extraction operations in the United States were measured by H3O (sup plus) chemical ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (H3O (sup plus) ToFCIMS/PTR-ToF-MS (Time of Flight Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry/Proton Transfer Reaction-Time of Flight-Mass Spectroscopy) from aircraft during the Shale Oil and Natural Gas Nexus (SONGNEX) campaign in March-April 2015. This work presents an overview of major VOC species measured in nine oil- and gas-producing regions, and a more detailed analysis of H3O (sup plus) ToF-CIMS measurements in the Permian Basin within Texas and New Mexico. Mass spectra are dominated by small photochemically produced oxygenates and compounds typically found in crude oil: aromatics, cyclic alkanes, and alkanes. Mixing ratios of aromatics were frequently as high as those measured downwind of large urban areas. In the Permian, the H3O (sup plus) ToF-CIMS measured a number of underexplored or previously unreported species, including aromatic and cycloalkane oxidation products, nitrogen heterocycles including pyrrole (C4H5N) and pyrroline (C4H7N), H2S, and a diamondoid (adamantane) or unusual monoterpene. We additionally assess the specificity of a number of ion masses resulting from H3O (sup plus) ion chemistry previously reported in the literature, including several new or alternate interpretations.

A CIM Based Data Integration Framework for Distribution Utilities
With the proliferation of distributed energy resources and advanced metering, modern electric power distribution systems are data rich and include advanced capabilities for distribution automation. Distribution utilities need applications for planning and operations that can integrate all the available data from the enterprise applications and may incorporate distributed approaches to operate and control. This paper describes a framework for standardizing and integrating the data available at different vendor specific applications in a utility utilizing the Common Information Model (CIM). Theframework incorporates the conversion of these the standardized CIM models into models compatible with GridLAB-D, an open source distribution system simulator, for developing advanced planning and operation strategies.

Design of a microprocessor-based Control, Interface and Monitoring (CIM unit for turbine engine controls research
High speed minicomputers were used in the past to implement advanced digital control algorithms for turbine engines. These minicomputers are typically large and expensive. It is desirable for a number of reasons to use microprocessor-based systems for future controls research. They are relatively compact, inexpensive, and are representative of the hardware that would be used for actual engine-mounted controls. The Control, Interface, and Monitoring Unit (CIM) contains a microprocessor-based controls computer, necessary interface hardware and a system to monitor while it is running an engine. It is presently being used to evaluate an advanced turbofan engine control algorithm.

A Joint Modeling/Experimental Approach to Characterize Ionization and Fragmentation of SOA Molecules with CIMS
The Molecular Dynamics technique Collective variable hyperdynamics (CVHD) interfaced with density functional tight-binding at the GFN1-xTB and GFN2-xTB levels of electronic structure theory has been applied to the H + GAG positively charged peptide system to explore the fragmentation of this simple tripeptide under relatively low temperature/energy conditions. Unlike conventional chemical dynamics simulations which can only be performed up to hundreds of picoseconds when coupled with semi-empirical Hamiltonians, CVHD is able to capture the long-time dynamics of multiple proton hopping, the formation of reversible ring structures, and ester rearrangement of the H + GAG system prior to fragmentation. The CVHD method applied to H + GAG is also able to uncover alternative fragmentation pathways not considered previously such as glycine fragmentation on the N-terminal side of the charged peptide and new cyclic cationic species. These findings in the H + GAG case have implications for other peptide systems.

A Framework to Demonstrate a DNP3 Interface With a CIM-Based Data Integration Platform: Preprint
The contemporary electrical grid is characterized by its complexity and abundance of data. A control-rich environment supported by information and communication technologies within an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) presents a viable and cost-effective option for utility companies aiming to implement advanced real-time analytical schemes for monitoring and remotely controlling distribution feeders. Modular platform-based approaches to distribution operations require a structured framework for acquiring field device measurements, performing analytics, converting the setpoint to the correct protocol, and sending it on the appropriate communications network to the field devices. We present the development and deployment of an application service to integrate an open-source standardsbased platform with an ADMS test bed with field devices using the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) for data exchange. The step-by-step procedure for establishing the DNP3-Master service on an open-source distribution platform is outlined, comprehensively explaining the Master setup process. Moreover, sample use case results highlight the capabilities of the DNP3- Master service setup. Results demonstrate the scalability and configurability of the DNP3-Master service, making it adaptable for integration with other relevant applications, thus providing potential opportunities for real-world field trials and real-time assessments.

Participation of HNO3 CIMS Instrument in the Sage III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE)
This project was part of a larger SOLVE project led by Paul Wennberg at California Institute of Technology. The work completed on this project included participating in the installation and preflight testing of a new chemical ionization mass spectrometer for measuring gas and particle phase nitric acid on the ER-2. The investigators subsequently participated in SOLVE where additional instrument improvements were made and a substantial data set was generated. The two Georgia Tech investigators that participated in this work (Fred Eisele and Dave Tanner) had previously been responsible for much of the design and construction of the ion source and mass spectrometer which would be used to measure HNO3 in SOLVE, with Caltech focusing on inlets, calibration, gas supplies/pumping computer control, and overall integration. Thus, a similar focus remained during the SOLVE measurements though all investigators worked on most if not all aspects of the instrument at some point in the mission. Some of the more interesting results from the study included measurements of nitric acid on what are thought to be 5-20 microns diameter individual particles which could supply a local mechanism for HNO3 removal, Nitric acid measurements on SOLVE were completed as a collaborative effort with a great deal of overlap between this project and the larger parent project led by Paul Wennberg. As such, the instrumentation used, its operation, and the resulting measurements are far more fully discussed in the attached report (appendix A) which describes the joint SOLVE nitric acid measurement effort.
