Turning Data into Insight

Practical Benefits from implementing an ODS at Entegrus Powerlines

Entegrus Energy Highlights

Approximately 42,000 meters Residential on hourly intervals Small commercial (<50kW, 3 phase) on hourly intervals Tantalus RF based head-end Utilismart wholesale metering Northstar CIS mCare WMS Regulatory mandate to use MDMR V.E.E currently done in MDMR Microsoft Windows platform

Unlocking the Value of Data

Integration is key
Multiple business systems Systemic way to collate data across systems Single system of record for each data type

The Right Data to the right people at the right time

The Past
Enterprise Data existed in silos Integration between systems was task specific Multiple copies of data exists Poor system visibility Day behind or worse Reactive

What are we doing with our Data

Turn data into insight Improve decision making Break down corporate data silos Move from reactive to proactive
Improve Customer Responsiveness Ease Regulatory Compliance Improve Operational Efficiency

Entegrus high-level project goals

Automatically identify data gaps prior to the billing period. Eliminate billing data gaps and false missing meter intervals. Provide platform for pro-active meter network troubleshooting Provide meter network communication traceability. Provide administrative dashboard for meter network health Implement single system of record for meter/meter asset data. Provide long term meter data store for analytics and system planning Leverage GIS investment for spatial analysis, network tracing and analytics

Entegrus Key Performance Indicators

Identify meters in wrong state CIS sync issues, communication problems, workflow gaps. Reduce Needs Verification & Estimate (NVE) errors from the MDMR. Dramatic reduction in the 400hrs+ investigations to resolve NVE related billing issues monthly. Reduction in billing cycle delays. Shift from reactive to proactive network management mode. Show various AMI network operating KPIs Operating efficiency, missing reads, full collectors, etc.

Meter Data Analytics: Value Proposition

Telvents Conductor and OSIsofts PI System extend the power of smart meter data to utility operational systems. And by adding deep GIS & SCADA integration, Conductor enables utilities to orchestrate and analyze smart grids at a whole new smart level!
All standard meter to cash functions supported New level of big data intelligent utility analytics Smart meters are SCADA endpoints All kinds of new operational use cases:
Smart grid data analytics Real time event mapping

Conductor MDM UI - Dashboard

Conductor MDM - System Operations, WMS integration

1. Dashboard gadget indicating missing meter reads 2. Read Reliability gadget breaking down problem 3. Map view showing disconnected or problem meter 4. Create ticket via WMS integration 5. Monitor WMS ticket for update

Validation, Estimation and Editing (VEE)

One of the most important aspects of a meter data management system is the ability to support data integrity MDM has the perspective to look both at past and future data, as well as meter profiles and load curves, to both verify that a reading makes sense and to allow manual or pre-defined changes to the data if it does not

Conductor MDM- Beyond Meter to Cash

Implementation Challenges
Disparate data sources make it challenging to define a single interface point for meter data. Asset synchronization between CIS, WMS and AMI Multi-speak implementation differences between vendors. Conductor orchestrating between data collection and provisioning to satisfy Entegrus billing cycle requirements and regulatory reporting needs. Standard project management challenges resources, competing project schedules, external dependencies, etc.
