New Features Summary
The following new features were included in this integration:
Enrollment Requests
This interface sends the enrollment requests from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service for customer-owned controllable devices originating through external entities, such as energy aggregators or head-end system providers, and initially received in Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect (LEC). Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service initiates the enrollment process for each individual enrollment request received from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
This integration includes:
Receiving a collection of customer enrollment requests from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
Mapping each individual request to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service and invoking the program enrollment process.
Capturing the success or failure for the invocation of the enrollment process in Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service for each individual enrollment request.
Submitting an overall response to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System on completion of the process.
Device Status Check and Response
This integration flow initiates a controllable device status check request from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System and subsequently receives the controllable device status response back. This request and response will follow an asynchronous pattern and supports the retrieval of device's communication status required as either part of customer enrollment or during troubleshooting for non-communicating devices.
This integration includes:
Receiving a device status check request for a controllable device from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service.
Transforming the device status request and send it to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
Receiving the asynchronous device status response from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System
Transforming the device status response and invoking Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service to update the response.
Enrollment Synchronization
The purpose of this integration flow is to synchronize Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System with Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service on the back of a successful program enrollment or unenrollment. A mandatory pre-requisite for this integration flow to work is that Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System already has the customers contact and location information synchronized from the existing Customer Information System. This integration notifies Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System of devices that are eligible to be evaluated for a program event participation.
This integration includes:
Receiving an enrollment sync message from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service containing the customer, location, program subscription and controllable devices information.
Transferring the enrollment sync message to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
Sending the enrollment sync acknowledgment response to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service.
Device Calculated Score
Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service calculates a cost value for each controllable device the device score. This integration will facilitate the scheduled transfer of device score file generated by Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System to allow calling upon the most eligible set of controllable devices for a program event.
This integration includes:
Retrieving a new device score file generated by Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service from the designated location as per the defined schedule.
Transferring the device score file to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System and renaming the file on the source to indicate success of failure of file transfer.
Checking for any more unprocessed files and repeating the above steps to transfer them to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
Notifying configured stakeholders via email about successful or erroneous outcomes for all files.
Device Reservation
Program events are created in Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System to call upon controllable devices for participation. This integration flow facilitates the transfer of the event details and the list of devices reserved for that program event to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service. It will allow Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service to track the event participation and use that information while calculating the device score for the impacted controllable devices.
This integration flow includes:
Receiving an event device reservation message from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System containing the event details and list of devices reserved for that event.
Sending an acknowledgment of the message back to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
Checking the service availability of Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service prior to sending the device reservation message.
Sending the event device reservation message in collections to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service by invoking the event participation process.
Sending an asynchronous acknowledgment on completion of processing all reserved devices and notifying configured stakeholders via email of successful or erroneous outcomes.
Event Cancellation
Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System supports the functionality to cancel a program event prior to its scheduled start time. The purpose of this integration flow is to send pre-event cancellation messages from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service so that the event status is updated and the associated devices are no longer reserved.
This integration flow includes:
Receiving an event cancellation message prior to its scheduled start time from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System containing the event details.
Transforming the event cancellation message and invoking the Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service process for cancelling the event.
