This document discusses challenges utilities face with smart meter data management and opportunities for eMeter applications. It outlines the complex data flows between different market participants like distribution, retail, and metering. Effective management of smart meter data is critical as utilities must process high volumes of meter readings and events daily while addressing issues like missing data and failures. The document also notes the need to leverage smart meter data and technology already deployed to increase competitiveness and extract more value through applications.
The fact that a Meter Data Management (MDM) system is the single, secure repository for the millions of data points collected by an AMI makes it the logical solution for data analytics such as validation, editing and estimation that improve the accuracy of billing information. Yet, as a single-source system of record, the MDM also is the starting point for integration of meter-read data with other enterprise systems to improve real-time efficiency of network operations and business processes.
The MDM with meter modelling components and standardized connectivity can integrate with the utility geodatabase (GIS) and outage management system (OMS) to significantly streamline outage detection and restoration verification.
MDM integrated with the utility supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system or distribution management system (DMS) allows comparison of information at substation/net-stations with aggregated meter data to detect potential theft or network loss during distribution. Similar aggregate comparison helps analyse power quality, identify demand trending and forecast demand. These network analysis capabilities empower accurate asset planning and the utilityโs ability to meet demand without adding more capacity.
In all of these enterprise-level functions, MDM integration with the GIS provides valuable visualization that facilitates operator and analyst identification of areas of concern or opportunity.
The real-time network intelligence possible with such a powerful MDM solution can return substantial benefits to several utility operations and business processes โ well beyond the initial-level billing accuracy improvement.
Implementing Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway: A Customer Experiencecgjohns
ย
Implementing smart meters can be very challenging as the traditionally manual steps are replaced by automated Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems. This can become even more complex as many utilities use multiple AMI vendors and still need to manage many traditional meters during the transition. Figuring out how to put all the puzzle pieces together to successfully achieve the desired results is a challenge for many organizations. This presentation shares the experience a customer had in utilizing Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway to alleviate the complexities.

ABSTRACT: In this digital mobile world, itโs need of time to streamline and increase efficiency in business processes like effective data collection, measurement, automatic validation, editing and estimation of measurement data, analysis and dashboard for forecasting and ease in end user accessibility with Just in Time. This paper is following two methodology in this process. CEMLI is an extensive framework for developing and implementing for Oracle whereas OUM is business process and use case driven process which supports products, tool, technologies and documentation. This paper have focused on analytical data, system automation functionality along with prototype designing. For this, analysts and administrators will collect and define calculation rule for data collection and measurement, deployment methods, dashboards and security features. This paper gives measure understanding of cloud technologies and their features like services (SaaS), deployment methods, security and ability to reduce overhead cost, downtime, and automate business processes with 360 degree review and analysis. It consolidates data in one system with volumes of analog and interval data which facilitates new customer with offering and effective program. Also it maximizes return on investments and protects revenue through comprehensive exception management.
Unprecedented performance and scalability demonstrated for meter data management. The benchmark was performed at the IBM Power Systems Benchmark Center in Montpellier, France, on

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Editor's Notes
You may decide to swap out either the Siemens or IBM logo for the utilityโs logo -- or another SI that they currently work with.Purpose: Highlight the applications that are build on top of the platform. There are the applications that exist today. The applications we have planned in our roadmap for the next 2 releases. And, finally applications that perhaps we donโt know about yet, or custom apps that the utilities can build on their own (or with a partner).Key Message (pick the applications that make the most sense and talk to those):In addition to the robust functionality that we have in the platform, we have several applications that are pre-built and ready for you to implement. Additionally, because our platform is open, we welcome others to develop applications on top of our platform using our APIโs. So, whether your own IT department wants to tackle a project, or you want to have a System Integrator or eMeter partner build the custom app, you will be able to leverage the eMeter platform to support it.This means that no matter what the future brings, weโll be able to continue to build new applications and so will you. Our MDM (Meter Data Management) solution is addressed with our Interval Billing application. In fact, the combination of Interval Billing & EnergyIP will give you more functionality than is in a standard MDM. Our belief is that MDM is just the first step to Smart Grid success, and there are many other applications that will be tremendous value to you.Energy Engage is our consumer engagement portal that allows utilities to provide customers access to up-to-date information about usage and costs. Some other solutions rely on batch data for their consumer portals โ which means that the information that the customer and customer support reps each see will be out of synch.Remote Connect/Disconnect โ The Remote connect/disconnect application supports complete business process automation around utility service connect and disconnect operations.Deployment Planning and Management (DPM) โ The DPM application leverages EnergyIPโs AMI Management database (synchronized daily with CIS) to generate detailed plans of meter installations, network surveys, and network equipment installations, supporting project personnel as they generate a rolling schedule for the AMI installation Management System (IMS). Outage Event Management โ The Outage Event Management application processes and delivers outage event and other outage related information to the utilities Outage Management System (OMS). ย The application supports event filtering through configurable business rules including, Bellwether, De-bouncing, and Open Field Order filtering to eliminate spurious events and avoid overwhelming the OMS during a large scale outage. ย In addition, the Outage Event Management supports real-time power status verification to confirm restoration activity before crews leave the scene.
