Part 3 Scope

An outage can be detected by:

AMI

Customer Call

Field Crew

SCADA

An outage must be communicated between network operations systems, including trouble location, devices in abnormal state, and customers affected.

Other Network Operations Fault Location, Isolation, and Supply Restoration (FLISR).

Fault location refers to the observations, signals, and analysis necessary to identify the true cause of the outage.

Isolation is the process of switching and cutting that allows the fault location to be safely isolated for repairs.

The process of restoring power to healthy islands of network around the isolated area is referred to as supply restoration.

Other areas will be added to Part 3 as Use Cases are defined.

The Reference Model provides examples of the logical components and data flows related to this standard.

The Meter is treated as an “end device” An End Device:

Has a unique identity

Is managed as a physical asset

May issue events

May receive control requests

May collect and report measured values

May participate in utility business processes

The Reference Model describes the flows between the components.

MeterReading Message for the following types of

requests:

Manual MeterRead

On-Request/On-Demand Meter Read

Historical Meter Data Access

Billing Inquiry

Bulk Readings


MeterReadings Message

MeterReadings message allows for:

Readings from one or more meters

Reading values each have an associated reading

type, timestamp and value

Many Quality values can be associated with each

reading value

Readings can be supplied in the form of interval

blocks if the common reading types are grouped

together.

Event Histories are returned with meter readings.



The request for meter reading should specify:

A meter or group of meters

A type of reading to collect

A frequency

A Duration of interest

The scheduled frequency may consist of regular

or irregular periods.



The MeterReadings request may be initiated by

any of the following:

The CIS (in an effort to collect billing determinants).

A Planning and Scheduling application (in an effort to

acquire engineering data about the distribution network).

An OMS (in order to verify if a customer is affected by

an outage or has been restored)

An MDM system (in an effort to broker data for any or

all of the above applications).

The MS itself may also directly initiate a meter read
