About Oracle Utilities Customer Program Management Cloud Service (CPMCS)
Oracle Utilities Customer Program Management Cloud Service provides the core functionality for utilities to create, run, and maintain demand response and distributed energy resource programs as part of a larger Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
It comprises the following functional areas:
• Asset and Device Management: Maintenance of controllable assets, such as “smart” thermostats, electric vehicle chargers, storage batteries, and other types of devices.
• Program Enrollment/Unenrollment: Identifying specific customers that are eligible for particular programs, and establishing relationships between the customers, the programs, and if appropriate, device locations where one or more controllable devices are (or have been) installed.
• Program Management: Creation and maintenance of Demand Response Programs to which customers can subscribe and which allows utilities to temporarily alter the settings of specific devices in their homes as a response to periods of high demand.
• Program Subscriptions: Maintenance of a customer's program subscriptions that represent the customer's enrollment in a program and device registration. Program subscriptions link the customer to a program and device location where controllable devices are installed.
• Demand Response Event Management: Identification and reservation of a customer's controllable devices in response to usage demand.
• Measurement Processing: Receipt of measurement data from a customer information system used in program even settlement calculations.
• Program and Customer Settlement: Calculation of credits to be applied to customer bills based on participation in events. Calculations are performed for each event, and then all of the events in which a customer has participated are summarized.
• Oracle Utilities Cloud Service Foundation: Tools used to orchestrate and automate infrastructure related processes and migrate data from legacy applications into the cloud service.
• Oracle Utilities Analytics Visualization: A suite of analytics applications that provides access to real-time data for self-service exploration, discovery, visualization, and analysis. It includes rich pre-built analytical data models, metrics, and key performance indicators that allow you to derive strategic insights from your data.
