161E – Enterprise Architecture and Systems Integration• Developing best practice
enterprise architecture to mitigate risk and create a foundation for execution
• Research Themes:– Core enterprise architecture– Systems Integration– Information Technology (IT) /
Operation Technology (OT) convergence

Core Enterprise Architecture
Business architecture informs and drives all other architecture phases
161EDeliverable: Business Architecture Repository
Issue:– Architects typically stronger in technology– EPRI use case library useful; but needs work– Use case importer: Based on old template (and
beta)– Key question: Leveraging existing resources to
create a viable business architecture resourceApproach:
– Base importer on new template (IEC 62559)– Refactor and harmonize the EPRI use case library– Import refactored use cases into a reusable
Enterprise Architect repository

Enterprise Systems IntegrationDeliverable: Cloud Integration Guidebook
Issue:– Utilities struggle to understand when/how
to integrate cloud-based services
– How to capitalize cloud investment
Approach:– Demonstrate cloud integration in the EPRI
lab – Develop case studies for the application
and capitalization of cloud resources
Utilizing cloud-based computing improvesthe speed of execution

IT/OT Convergence
Deliverable: IT/OT Convergence Strategies whitepaperIssue:
– Operation technology and support continues to leverage skills and roles that were once the domain of IT as assets in the field grow in capability
Approach:– Expand on the “Re-align,
Re-engage, Re-org” work to fully develop the strategy and gather applicable case studies
– Learn from utility experiences
Aligning scarce resources reduces redundancies and frees up assets for new projects and innovations

Potential Research Topics
• Relationship between EA and microgrid proliferation– Implications for CIM standards– Strategies to incorporate micro grids, zero energy
districts and related technologies• Portfolio architecture as determinant of IT/OT coordination
strategy• Mapping to/implementing/expanding CIM
• Out of scope => DMD/TMD– BI, analytics and big data in the utility industry– Enterprise data architecture and governance for utility
analytics

Interoperability Standards & Communications Technology Tracking and AnalysisIssue• The major impact of rapidly evolving standards
and communications technologies
• Tracking development can be overwhelming and costly
Approach• EPRI staff is deeply involved in standards
development and industry activities
• EPRI staff reports on developments and activities and provides analysis on the impacts to utilities
Saving utility staff time tracking standards activities,while gaining a better understanding of the impact of standards

ICT Technology Transfer Activities
Issue• To receive value from our research, members must
be aware of what we are doing and implement the results
Approach• Communicate research results in a variety of ways:
– Technical reports– Webcasts– Newsletters
Receive the results of our work in the formatthat works best for YOU!
