Business Drivers

Interoperability requires many standards in a profile stack The SDO process is relatively slow & needs more user input   Work collaboratively with SDOs to ensure common user requirements are addressed Facilitate standards development by proposing potential solutions for addressing gaps in existing standards.  The SDO ultimately determines when and how its standards are updated based on input.

For Information Standards, resolve (don’t add to) semantic chaos    Avoid having the same information defined with different names, varying definitions, etc.

Ensure same information standards can be used across different communication profiles While mapping to other standards will be unavoidable, strive to use, correct and extend one information model standard:  The IEC TC57 Common Information Model (CIM) is the default information model for this purpose.

There is substantial information overlap among AMI, ADE, HAN and ADR  While requirements and services vary significantly, they can be built using the same information model.

The CIM is the Basis for a Common Systems Language for Utilities

 The same dictionary is used for multiple forms of human communication:      Letters Phone calls Conversations Emails Etc.

 In similar manner, the same CIM is used for multiple forms of computer communication:      XML RDF OWL DDL Etc.

One Dictionary Supports Many Forms of Communication

SG-Systems WG Scope



SG-Systems WG:

 The SG-Systems Working Group defines requirements, policies, and services, based on utility industry standards such as the Common Information Model (CIM), required for information exchange from and to utility enterprise back office systems and between these back office systems and data acquisition and control servers (e.g., MDMS, AMI Head Ends, SCADA, etc.).  Task forces are established on an as needed basis to accomplish these goals for specific functional areas. In addition to work performed by their ‘vertical team,’ Task Force Chairs act as matrix managers to ensure their functional requirements are met through the ‘horizontal teams’ supporting them.

 ‘Horizontal Teams’ are ongoing, providing consistent artifacts for each increment of functionality that is requested of them by the functional (vertical) teams.

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

Guiding Principles



Capabilities

1. Supports two-way communication between HAN Devices and Service Providers 2. Supports load control integration 3. The AMI meter provides the HAN with direct access to Consumer specific usage data 4. Provides a growth platform for future products which leverage the HAN and meter data 5. Supports three types of messaging: Public Information, Consumer Specific Information, and Control Signals 6. Supports end-use metering and other utility meters 7. Supports distributed energy resources 

Assumptions

8. Consumer owns the HAN 9. HAN devices present additional security considerations 10.The HAN is enabled by open and interoperable standards 20

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

Architectural Considerations

 HAN SRS applies from the edge of the AMI System, where the Energy Services Interface (ESI) resides, to all relevant HAN Devices in the premises  Energy Services Interface (ESI) o o o o An interface which enables communication between authorized parties and HAN devices that are registered to it There may be more than one ESI in the premise (e.g. Utility ESI, 3 rd party ESI) Utility ESI – provides interface between the Utility AMI network and HAN devices, including the AMI meter Other ESI – provides interface between other communication media (e.g. internet, cell phone, EMS, etc.) and HAN devices registered to it 21

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

Architectural Considerations,

continued  Commissioning, Registration, Enrollment o o o Commissioning is the process by which a HAN device obtains access to a specific physical network and allows the device to be discovered on that network Registration is the process by which a Commissioned HAN device is authorized to communicate on a logical network by exchanging security credentials with an ESI Enrollment is the process by which a Consumer enrolls a Registered HAN device in a Service Provider program (e.g. demand response, energy management, PEV program, etc.) 22

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

Network admission of HAN device on HAN Authentication established between HAN device and ESI Service Provider granted rights to access HAN device 23

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

Architectural Considerations

, continued  HAN SRS is agnostic to device ownership  Some HAN devices may reside on more than one ESI  HAN SRS is agnostic to electric market structure and is applicable to both integrated utility markets as well as consumer choice electric markets  There may be multiple communication paths into the HAN (e.g. Utility AMI, internet, cell phone network, EMS, etc.)  HAN SRS addresses the following special applications o o o Plug-in-Electric Vehicle (PEV) Energy Management System (EMS) Distributed Energy Resources (DER) 24

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

HAN System Requirements

     Application Requirements Control applications respond to control signals Measurement and Monitor applications provide internal data and status Processing applications consume, process, and act on external and internal data    Human Machine Interface (HMI) provides Consumers a means to provide input into an application or to view information from an application Communication Requirements Commissioning is the network process of adding a HAN device on the HAN to allow the device to communicate with other devices and involves network scanning, selection, admission, and configuration Control of a node involving self-organization, path selection, mitigation 25

HAN System Requirements,

continued       Security Requirements Access Controls and Confidentiality address data protection for data-at rest and data-in-transit Registration is the network process to authenticate and authorize HAN device participation with an ESI and includes initialization, authentication, correlation, authorization, and de-register Enrollment is the process by which a Consumer enrolls a HAN device in a Service Provider’s program (e.g. demand response, energy management, pre-pay, PEV programs, distributed generation, pricing, messaging, etc.) and gives certain rights to the Service Provider to communicate with their HAN device Integrity preserves the HAN operating environment through resistance and recovery Accountability will allow for monitoring malicious activities through audit and non-repudiation 26

UCAIug HAN SRS v2.0

HAN System Requirements,

continued   Performance Requirements Ensure applications or other factors do not limit the performance of the system, which is dependent upon availability, reliability, maintainability, scalability, upgradeability, quality and latency     Operations, Maintenance, and Logistics Requirements Manufacturing and Distribution - Vendor’s pre-installation activities including pre-Commissioning settings, application configuration, labeling, support for multiple distribution channels Installation – Documentation for the physical placement of the device and support systems Manage, Maintain – ensure HAN device diagnostic, management and trouble shooting capabilities including alarming, logging, testing, device reset, and monitoring 27

This figure shows the type of communication a HAN Device may engage in, which is dependent upon its relationship with the ESI and the Service Provider.

Energy Services Interface (ESI) Enrolled HAN Device (must be Registered) Registered HAN Device (must be Comissioned) Commissioned HAN Device Service Provider Network (e.g. AMI Network, Internet, etc.) Communication Types Service Provider Messages including Control Signals

(Two-way communications between Service Provider and Enrolled HAN Devices)

Consumer Specific Information

(One-way and Two-way communications between ESI and Registered HAN Devices as well as among Registered HAN Devices)

Public Information

(One-way communications to Commissioned HAN Devices)

Service Provider to ESI

(Two-way communications to the ESI which may elicit further communication between the ESI and Registered HAN devices and Public Information from the ESI to Commissioned HAN devices) 30

Mapping Requirements to Functional Devices

 In order to provide guidance to service providers and vendors, the OpenHAN Task Force mapped each requirement to functional HAN Devices in tables at the end of each requirement section.  The tables indicate which requirements the OpenHAN Task Force considered necessary for the Commissioning Process (CP), for the Registration Process (RP), for Security (S), for application functionality (BF), as Optional (O), or if the requirement was Not Applicable (NA) for the function of the device.  These tables may be used as a template or starting point for Service Providers in their discussions with vendors and in their procurement process.  Vendors may use these tables as guidance for producing devices and software which enables basic HAN functionality and for providing additional functionality in order to provide competitive differentiation.  The tables are for reference only and should not limit the needs of Service Providers nor limit vendor innovation.

The Same Old Approaches Won’t Work!

The Smart Grid is about

Smart Data

   Too many moving parts & too much investment at risk - to go on doing “more of the same” IT practices

Smart Data

Requires:    Planned Enterprise Information Management (EIM)   Based on an architecture with strong interfaces Makes practical use of industry standards  Architecture for incremental deployment over many years  Master Plan implemented in phases  Decouples projects Each increment must fit cohesively with previously installed components Getting help by leveraging effective user organizations  Lowers costs and mitigates risks for nominal cost

[Source: NIST Interim Roadmap]

Smart Grid Interoperability

  Ability of systems to

operate in coordination

 Ability to exchange and use information appropriately Requires

standard interface definitions

 Governed by open industry working groups  Provides Benefits   Promotes

loosely-coupled

integration   Allows incremental functional enhancements Creates market for reusable, compatible components Only

one integration

instead of many  To an open, public, standard interface  Instead of each proprietary vendor or utility interface

Smart Grid Challenges

 

Requires Integration – LOTS of integration

 Onslaught of new applications and technologies  AMI, MDMS, HAN, DR, ADE, etc.

In a complex IT environment

 Many custom systems, legacy technologies    Typically departmentally controlled – within “silos”  Need ability to govern, manage, and share resources  at the Enterprise level and beyond (external services) Aging / outsourced systems and IT workforce Historically, extremely low R&D expenditures  Must ramp up capabilities quickly

Our situation’s unique – standards hinder us For further information, please refer to the article on page 56 of the January issue of Utility T&D Automation & Engineering: http://www.uae-digital.com/uae/200801/

Architecting for Successful Integration Semantics

  

Key to Success is Understanding

 What things need central planning What things can be left to the local developer/project team 

Need to make active choices regarding:

System structure and dynamics – cohesion & coupling    Composition & decomposition Data life-cycle ownership across systems:   Message level (Work Order, Trouble Ticket) Object level (Crew, Switch, Asset)

Master planning is important

Avoid falling into the trap of ‘Framework Bingo’    Use IEC 61968-1 IRM as a starting point for service portfolio planning Needs to be in the context of Enterprise Information Management (EIM)

Incremental Development

 Used to engender a sense of joint ownership for the ultimate success across the organization    Users:   Provide feedback so that adjustments can be made impacting business functionality early in the program Use part of the ‘to-be’ system, improving their confidence in the programme’s ability to deliver Suppliers:   Early identification of gaps improves ability for satisfactory resolutions within existing budget and schedule Significant changes in underlying business requirements can also be managed, without the need for expensive re-work downstream. Program staff   Morale is improved as their confidence grows in their ability to deliver what the users want within the commitments they’ve made Leads to greater enthusiasm and a sense of achievement as their productivity increases

Defining EIM (Gartner)



Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is:

  

An organizational commitment to structure, secure and improve the accuracy and integrity of information assets, to solve semantic inconsistencies across all boundaries, and support the technical, operational and business objectives within the organization's enterprise architecture strategy .

A commitment to EIM is recognition that information in the enterprise is as important as process (application development) and infrastructure (technology)
