The following new features were included in this integration:

The enrollment orchestration within Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service sets up the relationship between the customer, their controllable device, and the associated program via the program subscription. Once a customer and their controllable device is successfully enrolled in Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service, it triggers a message to synchronize the data with Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights for the associated service point so that it is included in load reduction forecasting and actual kWh Avoided calculations.

A mandatory pre-requisite for this integration flow to be executed successfully is the synchronization between Customer Information System (CIS) and Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights, which ensures that the customers contact information and location information are already updated so that only identifier values can be processed.

This integration includes:

Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights is responsible for calculating a load reduction forecast for each metered service point that is associated to an active program by leveraging historic consumption, historical event outcome and weather forecast data. Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System uses the forecasted reduction received from Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights along with the device score and availability to reserve the optimal set of controllable devices for a program event.

A pre-requisite for this integration flow to be executed successfully is the synchronization between Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights and Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights which ensures that the Program Subscription information is updated for all customers.

This integration includes:

Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System will dispatch a control signal via Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect to a controllable device identified for a demand response event. After the duration of the event is complete, it is expected that each controllable device would respond back with an event outcome to indicate if it successfully participated, or the event was manually overridden by the customer, or the device was non-responsive during the event, or the control signal was rejected by the controllable device. Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect will receive the event outcome from external sources and pass that on to Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.

Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System will be responsible for capturing the event outcome information, transforming it to a consistent message format, and generating an event outcome file to be published.

This integration includes:

Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights is responsible for calculating the actual kWh reduction achieved for each customer that participated in a program event. Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights will leverage the event outcome received from Oracle Utilities Grid Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System, the smart meter consumption data received from AMI/MDM systems and load curve values based on historical consumption data to compute the actual energy reduction achieved for the duration of the event.

Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights will generate the kWh Avoided that consist of comma separated records for each metered service point that participated in a program event and send it to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service for using it for settlement calculations.
