Customer to ESP Environment - #18

This environment encompasses communications between end customers and the utility, aggregator, or Energy Service Provider (ESP) to which they are connected.  This environment includes the requirements for what is traditionally known as Automatic Meter Reading (AMR).

Typical applications: Customer metering, management of distributed energy resources on customer sites, real-time pricing and demand response.

Characteristics:  Extremely large volumes of data are transferred, and there are frequent configuration and topology changes.  Commands are often broadcast due to the large number of end users.  Data is critical due to the potential for fraud and the impact on generation.  Ease of use and low cost of technologies at the customer end is critical.

Similar Environments:  Similar to Control Center to Customer Equipment, or Critical Operations DAC, but the volume of data is much larger.

Definition:  This environment is defined by the following requirements:

Communication and Information Requirements that Define this Environment

Configuration Requirements

• Support interactions between a few "clients" and many "servers"
• Support interactions across widely distributed sites
• Support multi-cast or broadcast capabilities
• Support the frequent change of configuration and/or location of end devices or sites

Security Requirements

• Provide Identity Establishment Service (you are who you say you are)
• Provide Authorization Service for Access Control (resolving a policy-based access control decision to ensure authorized entities have appropriate access rights and authorized access is not denied)
• Provide Information Integrity Service (data has not been subject to unauthorized changes or these unauthorized changes are detected)
• Provide Confidentiality Service (only authorized access to information, protection against eavesdropping)
• Provide Inter-Domain Security Service (support security requirements across organizational boundaries)
• Provide Non-repudiation Service (cannot deny that interaction took place)
• Provide Security Assurance Service  (determine the level of security provided by another environment)
• Provide Audit Service (responsible for producing records, which track security relevant events)
• Provide Security Policy Service (concerned with the management of security policies)
• Provide Firewall Transversal
• Provide Privacy Service (the ability to ensure person information is not disclosed)
• Provide User Profile and User Management (combination of several other security services)
• Provide Security Protocol mapping (the ability to convert from one protocol to another)
• Provide Security Discovery (the ability to determine what security services are available for use)

Network and System Management Requirements

• Provide Network Management (management of media, transport, and communication nodes)

Data Management Requirements

• Support the management of large volumes of data flows
• Support extensive data validation procedures
• Support management of data whose types can vary significantly in different implementations
• Support specific standardized or de facto object models of data
• Provide discovery service (discovering available services and their characteristics)
• Provide conversion and protocol mapping
• Support the management of data across organizational boundaries
