Abstract

NRECApsilas MultiSpeakreg specification is an industry-wide standard that facilitates interoperability of diverse business and automation applications used in electric distribution utilities. Interoperable MultiSpeak-enabled applications are already in place in numerous electric utilities and permit integrated operation of previously stand-alone systems. MultiSpeak provides similar capabilities to those included in the IEC 61968 distribution extensions to the Common Information Model (CIM).
