Enhancements in Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway

This section describes new and enhanced features in this release of Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway.

The release includes:

• Unit of Measure Filtering for On-Demand Reads

• Common Information Model (CMI) Adapter

Unit of Measure Filtering for On-Demand Reads

Unit of Measure (UOM) filtering for on-demand read commands is supported for the following Smart Grid Gateway adapters:

• Landis+Gyr

• Itron AMM (formerly Silver Springs Networks)

• Adapter Development Kit

These UOM filters minimize IMD Seeder errors on devices where UOMs are not configured as measuring components.

UOM filtering for on-demand read commands reduces manual work and prevents IMD Seeder errors from unwanted meter readings.

Steps To Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Common Information Model (CMI) Adapter

This section describes the new and enhanced CMI adapter features in this release, including:

• Generic Common Information Model (CIM) Adapter

• Generic CIM AMI Adapter - On-Demand Read and Device Status Check Commands

Generic Common Information Model (CIM) Adapter

The Adapter Development Kit provides you with Common Information Model (CIM) IEC 61968-9, Edition 2.0 interfaces for file-based processing of usage and events, and a real time interface for events.

This provides productized CIM file-based processing of usage and events, and a real-time interface for events. It also reduces project time and costs when working with CIM head-end systems.

Steps To Enable

To enable this feature, complete these steps:

1. Add the ADK - Master Configuration and enter the details to support the real-time event interface.

2. Add a Usage and Events entries for the SGG Payload Processing Configuration extendable lookup to leverage the com.splwg.d1.domain.sgg.dg.processing.PayloadHandlerViaUserExits payload handler class.

3. Add two batch controls using D1-PLPRM (Payload Processing Monitor Template) and associate these with the appropriate SGG Paylaod Processing Configuration extendable lookup values.

4. Update the ADK - UOM Code to Standard UOM mapping extendable lookup with the mapping for the ReadingType values. These should map to UOM, TOU, and SQI where applicable.

5. Update the ADK - Device Event Mapping extendable lookup with configuration for the event types that will be processed.

6. Add an entry to the File Storage Configuration extendable lookup indicating where the real-time event processing will store and receive files.

7. Create a head end system with the appropriate processing roles to process initial measurement data and events.

Generic CIM AMI Adapter - On-Demand Read and Device Status Check Commands

In this release, the Adapter Development Kit includes on-demand read and device status check commands based on the Common Information Model (CIM) IEC 61968-9, Edition 2.0 standard. This provides support for the CIM standard and a framework for other commands. It also reduces project time and costs when working with CIM head-end systems.

Steps To Enable

To enable this feature, refer to the Adapter Development Kit - Common Information Model Commands section of the Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Administrative Guide for more information.
