1. The document discusses implementing a smart grid project and web-based account management project for a utility client using IBM WebSphere products and DataPower appliances. 2. DataPower appliances are proposed as a demilitarized zone solution and integration hub to provide security, governance, and integration capabilities for SOA-based projects. 3. Examples from other clients show benefits like enforcing security, improving performance, simplifying implementation, and reducing costs.

3. Client is a visionary company which offers a comprehensive portfolio of energy related products to approximately 3.3 million Electricity customers and 1.8 million Natural Gas customers Client is serving customers in Eight states across the United States Current Electricity grid model has not changed much in the past century With growing needs of customers the current grid model will become unreliable in the future Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 identifies Smart Grid as the future direction for Electricity Grids in the United States of America Smart Grid – Modernization of the Electricity Grid to improve reliability and efficiency Advantages of Smart Grid implementation Adding more clean and green power sources in our fuel mix—greatly improving power delivery and reliability while optimizing environmental benefits. A grid that allows more choice about when, how much and what kind of energy consumers use. A digitally enhanced, more resilient and stable energy grid that is less prone to outages and improves power reliability. More energy efficiency and conservation options to manage consumers energy dollars. Utility/Energy Visionary Client

4. Smart Grid Project A dynamic system rich in information technology High-speed, real-time, two-way communications Sensors throughout the grid enabling rapid diagnosis and corrections Decision-making data and support for peak efficiency Distributed generation technologies (such as wind turbines, solar panels, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) Automated “smart substations” In-home energy control devices Automated home energy use Web-based Account Management Project Back-end application integration with web based portal for consumers Account Information maintenance Web Portal application for customers to manage their account information and services Start, Stop or Transfer service Electronic Bill payments Energy usage and payments analysis Projects being implemented with DataPower

5. Challenges Smart Grid Project Build a flexible, reliable, Service oriented and highly available Architecture to support full scale smart Grid implementation across the enterprise Enable standards based secured XML and web services transactions between Client and its Smart Grid partners Support SOA Architecture by providing ability for centralized governance, security policy management and implementing Web services security standards such as WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy. Implement standards based interfaces and enable message level security.
