to meet the future needs?

5. Standardized solutions - secured investments
Rapid innovation on business
applications requires data model to
be separated from AMI
Hide details of the underlying
communication and data acquisition
machinery to provide a logical
model which can be leveraged by
business applications
Standards for enterprise system
communications can be more
challenging than device-level
standards

7. What to consider for an effective implementation of
the solution architecture?

8. Requirements for efficiency
Clearly defined system functional
boundaries
Limited number of standards
applicable at the interface points
Common semantic model for all
interfaces and systems
Commonalities recognized– no need
to re-invent the wheel
Data communicated and stored in
unified ways

10. How to ensure end-to-end interoperability by
choosing the right standards?

11. Choosing the right standards and efficient strategy
Pre-integration and choice of "right mix of standards" as
the solution
The industry focus for software and IT systems is on the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61968
series of standards
 IEC 61968 series of standards for interface architecture,
general requirements, meter reading and control and
implementation
The Common Information Model (CIM), maintained by
the IEC, underlying the IEC 61968 series of standards has
been widely adopted in the utility industry
Today, utilities have come to rely upon the
interoperability and consistent results yielded by products
based on the CIM and its derivative standards

ESMIG
European Standardisation Organisations
ESMIG supports both SM-CG & SG-CG with:
- Definition of a functional reference architecture of the (ITU)
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Smart Grid.
(ISO) (IEC)
- Definition of functional requirements by Use Cases.
- Design of sustainable standardisation processes
- Smart Grid Security
The ESMIG BSII work group provides a reference SM-CG SG-CG
business system integration architecture and use
cases mainly based on the IEC 61968 series that Smart Metering Smart Grids
ensures a full interoperability between the technical Coordination Coordination
metering data management systems and the Group
business management systems.
