3. Key Factors driving the need for a SmartGrid
data management strategy
• Provide information for the utility & the customer to make choices that take
advantage of energy alternatives and efficiencies, regarding both production
and consumption.
• Operate and maintain assets based on up to date, fact based performance
data, enabling the evolution from preventative and reactive to predictive and
self healing and for more efficient use of resources.
• Manage exponential data growth and data velocity from various intelligent
devices (like sensors and meters) in the field and in the customer premises.
• Manage risk and compliance via a single version of the truth for key
business data such as Customer, Work, Asset, Location, Operations.

SmartGrid Data Management Assessment
Highlights – Areas which PGN is addressing
• PGN has standardized on SPARX Enterprise Architect for UML modeling and Erwin
for data modeling.
• PGN has established Distribution Data Integrity team for PEF and has had a
centralized Distribution Data & Services Design team for PEC to address operational
data integrity issues.
• PGN has started the use of the Utilities Common Information Model (CIM) for
modeling interfaces in the DSDR PEC project and this has been also adopted for
Catalyst in Florida and PE.com.
• DSDR PEC project has created DAS data mart to consolidate data and key learnings
and information architecture artifacts can be leveraged from this effort
• There has been progress in developing foundational information architecture artifacts
such as Information Architecture guiding principles and Information architecture and
design patterns.
• Enterprise integration standards, technology platforms and tool sets are newly
established. Existing integration technologies are being inventoried and being
rationalized.

It is not clear that the business & IT&T have demonstrated the
accountability and deployed capability to drive cross-business unit
data architecture. We will need more follow up with business and

the most mature area, but data security needs to be addressed.
Data is designed and delivered in application databases most of
the time. Lack of an enterprise level BI & reporting process limits
effective data sharing, quality, and availability. Lack of a common
data model is being addressed by PESM, but this may be focused
on application interfaces, not including data interfaces
Project and portfolio governance is not yet mature . Funding is

SmartGrid Data Management Assessment
Highlights – Key Areas of Improvement: (1 of 3)
• Elements for an Information strategy for Smart Grid (such as architecture patterns,
standard tools, the initial usage of the Utilities CIM in some projects) are being
established, however there is no coordinated strategy aligned with business drivers to
manage SmartGrid data assets proactively.
Strategy
The Data
• Key master data is either managed in a silo and has been replicated to other areas (like
CIS data) or the data is fragmented across many systems (like Asset data, Location data)
without adequate synchronization
• Data redundancy is not actively managed across applications. When information is
needed, the information is replicated without necessary provisions for keeping information
synchronized.
• An enterprise data model is not available to guide or accelerate applications or portfolio
work by developing re-usable data sources and services.
• There will be an increase in the volume and velocity of event data (e.g. Meter event data
such as Last gasp, Power quality / voltage ) which will require corresponding context data
and eventually complex event processing.
14. SmartGrid Data Management Assessment
Highlights – Key Areas of Improvement: (2 of 3)
• Data ownership and stewardship are not formalized when decisions are made about data.
• Data Quality processes are operational and tactical and not at a strategic level
• Authority over data definitions, and governance of changes not yet coordinated fully
between business and IT
• There will be new data produced by the SmartGrid applications, and policies about usage
and security of this new data will need to be established
14
Data Governance
• Manual integration of systems is still occurring
• Analytic data stores are built by projects without a comprehensive BI analytics architecture
plan
• There is no metadata management or guidance for the meaning and usage of data and their
equivalent concepts in the various vendor packages in use
• There is a need for a formal Lifecycle data management for key data. Most data is kept in
systems forever, if not on disk on tape.
• It is difficult to consolidate data from various sources for reporting.
• There is a large degree of manual processing and reconciliation by analysts before
information can be used, both for operations and reporting
Information Processes
15. SmartGrid Data Management Assessment
Highlights – Key Areas of Improvement: (3 of 3)
15
• Data and information management roles in IT are not fully institutionalized in the SDLC e.g.
data modeling, dimensional modeling for business intelligence and object modeling for CIM.
• New types of data will be exposed to the internal users and external users which will need
proper definition and usage rules.
• Security and cyber security are strong areas. However, there needs to be a more formalized
meta data security tags.
Information Use
• Enforcement and controls for data quality are not always built into data input processes
• No specialized tools to automate audit and monitoring for data quality
• No metadata repository accessible to both business and IT for meaning and usage of data
in various vendor packages.
• Standard tools are established for object and data modeling, data integration, and
reporting but need to be established for data quality, data repository, and master data
management.

17. Project 1 – SmartGrid Business Intelligence
Method & Framework
Project Key Benefits
Key Technical Tasks
Implement a BI Method and Framework to support
SmartGrid reporting and analytics needs.
Develop a Business Intelligence framework that
addresses gaps in the information architecture that have
not been addressed by Master Data Management, Data
Governance, Data Quality, and Information Lifecycle
Management, which is mainly the Data Repositories
(see Slide 27). Slide 39 shows complex reporting for
DSDR prior to data mart approach.
A Business Intelligence (BI) framework provides a phased
solution to deliver re-usable data stores and data services to
support SmartGrid reporting and analytics requirements.
A BI Framework delivers results to enable decision-making for
monitoring and optimizing SmartGrid operations.
A BI Framework facilitates real time analysis to make
intelligent decisions quickly.
A BI Framework transforms data into useful , actionable
information for operations and planning.
A BI Framework integrates structured and unstructured
content, from many different sources to provide insight and
predictive analytics.
A Business Intelligence framework allows the SmartGrid
PMO and Enterprise Architecture to ensure that investments
in data stores and data services can be leveraged throughout
the SmartGrid program.
All of the benefits above contribute to improved operational
and financial performance.
Perform a BI assessment as part of Strategy & Planning
Phase. (See Slide 28, IBM BI Method)

18. Project 2 – SmartGrid Master Data Management
18
Project Description Key Benefits
Key Technical Tasks
Develop a Master Data Management capability as
described by a Master Data Management plan. The plan
describes the essential components of a Master Data
Management (MDM) framework and an iterative plan to
build this capability.
Manage and maintain Master Data as an “Authoritative
Source” and securely deliver accurate, up-to-date
Master Data such as Asset and Customer data across
SmartGrid authorized users and systems.
MDM improves cost efficiency for operations by automating
and streamlining business processes. MDM synchronizes key
master data across applications which eliminates or prevents
manual processes, and decreases duplicate, incomplete or
inaccurate data. This can result in operational efficiencies such
as shorter restoration time and more efficient dispatch of field
crew.
MDM enhances business agility through improved ease of
data use. Business process changes are implemented faster
because of access to accurate and complete data from a single
location, reducing the need to build new interfaces to acquire
or cleanse data.
MDM improves the customer experience. MDM is a key
enabler for delivering consistent and timely information and
messages across channels from the web , to mobile devices
and call centers. This information could include customized
offerings based on a Customer’s net energy usage.
MDM lowers the cost of regulatory compliance, customer
privacy preferences, and security policy implementation
through significant improvement in the accuracy and analysis
capabilities of reporting
MDM improves data quality and accessibility which
maximizes SOA and SOA investments .
Develop a business case and phased project plan (see
Appendix Slide 30 for IBM MDM Strategy & Planning
Method)
Conduct an assessment for MDM
Define the key subject areas of master data ; Identify the
systems and business processes that consume the data

conjunction with the initial MDM implementation
and/or any large data stored developed for SmartGrid
ILM is comprised of the policies, processes, practices,
and tools used to align the business value of
information with the most appropriate and cost
effective IT infrastructure from the time information is
conceived through its final disposition. Information is
aligned with business processes through management
of policies and service levels associated with
applications, metadata, information, and data.
ILM manages growing data volumes in a cost effective
manner.
ILM accommodates rapid business growth and the large
amounts of new data created.
ILM increases the business value of information
ILM aligns business needs with the appropriate technical
solution based on the value and usage patterns of the
information throughout its lifecycle, from creation and initial
storage until it becomes obsolete and is deleted.
ILM improves accessibility of high value data regardless of
creation date facilitating business continuity, improving risk
management and meeting challenges of compliance.
ILM enables automation of data retention and storage
resource optimization.

IBM’s BI methodology is a collection of techniques and
technologies that helps organization build towards end
vision in an iterative fashion. This has been deployed
and refined over many years in many industries. This
methodology results in the creation of a comprehensive
strategy and BI architecture which will serve as the
framework for a flexible repository and analytic
environment, one that can meet the ever changing
business and technical environment for a utility.
The IBM Business Intelligence Reference Architecture is
a component-based, scalable, conceptual architecture to
build towards an end visions. IBM has detailed reference
architecture and frameworks across people, process and
technology for each component.
Master data management or MDM is a set of disciplines,
technologies, and solutions to create and maintain
consistent, complete, contextual, and accurate business
data for all stakeholders across and beyond the
enterprise.
Definitions
Data Quality Management is a disciplines that includes
methods to measure, improve, and certify the quality
and integrity of production, test, and archival data.
Data Quality includes data standardization, matching,
survivorship, and the monitoring of quality over time.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM ) is comprised
of the policies, processes, practices, and tools used to
align the business value of information with the most
appropriate and cost effective IT infrastructure from the
time information is conceived through its final
disposition. Information is aligned with business
processes through management of policies and service
levels associated with applications, metadata,
information, and data.
Data Governance is the discipline of treating data as an
enterprise asset. It involves the orchestration of people,
