of the IEC 62325 series which define protocols for deregulated energy market communications The principal objective of the IEC 62325 series of standards is to produce standards which facilitate the integration of market application software developed independently by different vendors into a market management system, between market management systems and market participant systems This is accomplished by defining message exchanges to enable these applications or systems access to public data and exchange information independent of how such information is represented internally The common information model (CIM) specifies the basis for the semantics for this message exchange The European style market profile is based on different parts of the CIM IEC standard The CIM is defined through a series of standards, i.e IEC 62325-301, IEC 61970-301 and IEC 61968-11 standards This document provides for the European style market profile the problem statement and status request business processes that can be used throughout a European style market This standard was originally based upon the work of the European Transmission System Operators (ETSO) Task Force EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and then on the work of the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) Working Group EDI BS EN 62325-451-5:2015 IEC 62325-451-5:2015 © IEC 2015 – 38 – Table 47 –
