How to integrate between Gis data and power factory ?

[JokerEsri]

Hello 

which method is usable to integrate data between GIS data and power factory ?

[AnthonyRyanEQL]

We are using a CIM adaptor for Utility Network to PowerFactory

@AnthonyRyanEQL Thanks for ur reply . Does it work great ,without any problems ? 
So Could we exchange data between power factory to GIS or from GIs to power factory ? 

Could you explain some more about it ,advantages and disadvantages?

How long it takes approximately to export the whole GIS data then import them into Power factory ?

It's only 1 way comms from Utility Network to PowerFactory. It's a 3rd party tool we purchased from Similix (Esri Partner). Basically, there are 2 parts, the Designer (CIM mappings) and the Adaptor.

Designer - You build your mappings from your UtilityNetwork Model. This can be a lot of work depending on how custom your UNM is. In my case, our UNM is totally custom as the North American electrical model of UNM doesn't meet the needs here in Australia.

Adaptor - Runs as a service connecting to your UtilityNetwork. It uses OOTB REST API calls to the UN to extract the subnetwork information and maps it accordingly to your CIM mapping file into the standard XML format to be consumed into PowerFactory.

Sorry I can't tell you how it works inside of PowerFactory.
