Functional Area | Description |
---|---|
Measurement and Service Data Model | The measurement and service data model contains database tables and related functionality used to define and store meters, devices, unmetered items, service points, and measurement data. |
Validation and Editing Functionality | The engine that provides the core functionality used to run validation and editing rules on usage data. This does not include technical validations such as valid format, valid number of readings, and so on. |
Estimation and Forecasting Functionality | Processes to estimate missing usage and forecast future energy use. |
Measurement Services and Aggregation | Measurement services are used to process meter reading data and manipulate measurements to support billing or other downstream processes. |
Consumer Level Usage and Bill Determinant Calculations | The usage engine and usage rules provide the core functionality used to perform usage calculations based on measurement data. |
Usage Calculations for Settlement and Wholesale Billing Processes | The usage engine and usage rules provide the core functionality used to perform settlement and wholesale billing calculations based on measurement data. |
Usage and Event Upload Statistics Processing | Processing and compiling upload statistics related to upload of usage and device events. |
Smart Meter Command Processing | Executing smart meter commands and communicating with a head-end system for purposes of issuing commands such as remote connect, commission meter, etc. |
Outage Integration | Communicating with Oracle Utilities Network Management System, including sending/receiving bulk ping commands, receiving device events from Oracle Utilities Meter Solution Cloud Service, and suppression of device event notifications (allowing a suppression activity to be configured for a meter or service point so that specified device event notifications will not be sent to Oracle Utilities Network Management System). |
Service Order Management | Orchestration of service orders that involve field work and/or smart meter commands through integration with customer information systems, mobile field work systems, and head-end systems. |
DataConnect | Components used to extract interval measurements data and master data for integration with external energy management systems. |
Settlement Processes | Components used for settlement processes: schedules, unaccounted for energy (UFE) calculations, capacity calculations, procurement, and true up processes. |
Wholesale Gas Operations | Components used for wholesale gas operations: nominations, bids, scheduling and transportation. |
Forecasting Rules | Rules used to forecast future energy use. |
