Weather DataTemperatureHumidityCloud CoverWind speedStorms

FrequencyRealtime

MethodsService

Load Forecasting 90% of demand variation due to weather

Wind PowerHighly variable, difficult to predict.Causes increases in spinning reserve generation and risk of grid instability

Weather imposes the largest external impact on the Smart GridDemand, renewable energy supply, and outages are heavily influenced by weatherIntelligent weather integration is the key factor in efficient Smart Grid management

TransmissionTemperature, humidity and wind impact line capacity

DistributionWeather is largest cause of outages (lightning, high winds, ice, transformer failures due to high load, etc.)

Distributed GenerationHome solar contributions can cause system instability due to rapid cloud cover changes

TradingImproved prediction of load and renewable energy contribution improves trading decisions

Methods of IntegrationManual

While not considered a high-tech option, manual integration can be best when decisions or interpretations are required

Point-to-PointSince data is duplicated between systems it is essential to determine the master system or “source of record”

RealtimeTypically uses a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)Users of web services (consumers) make requests via structured .XML messageService providers reply in a structured and expected message formatAn Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) routes messages between applications and translates messages to suit the requirements of different applications (aka mediation) and handles error reportingA services registry keeps track of services and their locations on the network

Business Process Modeling

Integration Modeling

31


Integration SpecificationsFor each interface point define:

When (in the workflow) is each interface triggered?What information is sent/requested? In what format?Where (exactly) should the information be sent?Are any transformations required?How should the other system respond/behave?What is the priority of this request as compared with

others?How are errors handled and reported?

One-way Integration

Bi-Directional Integration


ArcFM Integration Concept

Framework utilizes a configurable .NET web serviceThe web service uses COM Interop to call the various COM APIs in the core ArcFM Solution productsThe service receives XML over HTTP and supports SOAP or simple HTTP Post

Interoperability Standards

MultiSpeakSponsored by NRECADefines interfaces linking 23 business functionsUsed by ~250 utilities and 68 vendors

CIM (Common Information Model)Adopted by the IEC of the ISOIn wide use in transmission, IEC 61968 to extend to distributionUser group has 173 corporate members

(Intl Electrotechnical Commission of the Intl Standards Organization)(National Rural Electric Cooperative Association)


Interoperability Standards MultiSpeak and CIM

Why one over the other?Value of any “standard” is in part based on the breadth of its adoption…… and in part based on utility – measured by completeness, correctness and extensibilityMultiSpeak and IEC WG 14 working to “harmonize” the specs

SummaryThere are many types of integration, all offering different benefitsGoal of integration is to make the business more efficient via sharing of data in a timely manner

Cut costs by streamlining workflowImprove customer serviceImprove management of business functionsImprove data integrity

Methods for integration depend on frequency of integration and defined to-be business processesUse of interoperability standards like MultiSpeak and CIM can make integrations easier

NotesIntegrations discussed will include Asset Management, Customer Information, Mobile, First Responder, Design/Estimating/Engineering/Construction, Financial and Inventory, Weather Information Systems, Document Management, Web Applications, OMS/DMS, SCADA, Work Management, Call Centers and more. This presentation will include a case study regarding the integration of GIS and other corporate systems at Benton PUD.That looks good. There's a lot if stuff in there (I assume you have examples). Of course at Benton, we have realtime and synchronous integrations to CIS, SCADA, offsite after hours call center, WFM, Financials, time and labor, and inventory. We do bring a locator service and weather service (free one from arcgis online) into our FLEX-based ArcGIS Server application. We use Oracle's SOA suite running on Oracle Application Server using Multi-Speak and .Net web services.
