Deliverables: Task Force completed 1.0 SRS and SD in 2010 Phase 2 SRS (Addressed additional requirements for PEV, DER, FastDR, Security) completed and ratified Jan Develop and contributed Security profile to OpenADR Alliance in 2010

AMI-Ent TFSlide 7 AMI-Enterprise TF Status: Superceded by SG Enterprise (see subsequent slides) Charter: Defines requirements, policies, and services to support AMI related business processes and functions. Based on utility industry standards such as the Common Information Model (CIM) and best practices. Required for information exchange and control between the MDMS or MDUS and enterprise back office systems. Deliverables (all completed) System Requirements Specification (SRS) Use Cases Service Definitions

SG Enterprise Status: New - Face-to-face meetings and weekly conference calls Charter: The scope of SG-ENTERPRISE is the systems and/or applications within and around the utility enterprise and the inter-systems related business functions and stops at the boundaries of applications and the edge of utility enterprise. The focus is on how these systems are to be integrated and composed to support AMI related business processes and functions. SG-ENTERPRISE 2.0 charter will leverage available and applicable industry best practices and standards for this work, and to tie the required pieces together to support the implementation of AMI related processes, applications, and infrastructure technologies. SG-Enterprise 2.0 will provide specific requirements and supporting artifacts that support the implementation of AMI profile (i.e. strongly typed profiles).

SG Enterprise - continued Deliverables: Updated System Requirements Specification (SRS) Based on existing AMI-Enterprise SRS Corrected versions of existing AMI-Enterprise use cases based on feedback from SDOs Development of new use cases and artifacts where gaps exist

OpenADE Status: Active – Face-to-face meetings and weekly conference calls. Charter: UCAIug OpenSG OpenADE shall promote interoperability for Green Button: Based on NAESB REQ.21 Energy Services Provider Interface (ESPI). Collect and refine changes and extensions to ESPI and related standards. Develop and manage Green Button conformance profiles including: Green Button Download My Data Green Button Connect My Data Additional profiles as needed Develop and manage technical artifacts of a Green Button certification program. Develop and manage test plans and conformance profiles. Ensure availability of testing software. Coordinate with and participate in UCAIug ITCA development. Collaborate with OpenESPI and other related efforts. Support UCAIug marketing group(s) in promoting the standard.

OpenADE - continued Deliverables All milestones targeted for November 2012 OpenSG meeting: Full ESPI test plan complete ITCA operational Ability to certify ready OpenADE / ESPI 1.1 requirements approved to submit to NAESB ESPI 1.1 complete?

Slide 12 Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Status: Active – Face-to-face meetings and biweekly conference calls. Charter: Identify and articulate common EIM requirements: Use cases Activity Diagrams EIM Requirements Specification Develop common EIM Framework that satisfies requirements, taking advantage of other relevant industry work as appropriate (e.g., vision, governance, processes, etc.) Develop requirements for an OpenSG generic semantic model to be used by members as a starting point for their enterprises. Collaborate with SGAC of the NIST SGIP Provide a forum for exchanging information so that all members can benefit from lessons learned. Collaborate with Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), NIST SGIP, and/or consortiums so that needed advancements are accomplished in the most appropriate organizations in the most efficient manner.

Slide 13 Enterprise Information Management (EIM) - continued Deliverables: – EIM Requirements Specification – Use Cases – Guidelines and recommendations for utilities to incorporate EIM into their existing SDLC processes – Enterprise Semantic Model Requirements and Guidelines

OpenMUG Status: New Charter: The purpose of the Open Meter Users Group (OpenMUG) is to provide a forum in which utility operators, meter manufacturers and interested third-party integrators can meet to discuss meter-related issues that could reasonably be solved by the group. Some hypothetical examples of such issue/solution pairs might be: Differing interpretations of a communication standard/recommendation to the standards organization Uncertainty about how to manage meter passwords/whitepaper describing recommended practice Desire for common electronic format of meter test data/proposal to standards organization To guide the group’s work, the first item to be produced is a document enumerating issues to be considered. After the issues are listed, subsequent meetings will evaluate possible solutions and prioritization. If the group finds itself with no further items, it is expected that it would either recharter or disband. The Open Meter Users Group shall follow the UCAIug guiding principles.

OpenMUG - continued Charter Scope: The activities of the Open Meter Users Group shall be limited in scope in order to support proper division of labor with respect to the other UCA groups. The focus will be on meter communications issues and system issues with regard to meters. It will not treat the topic of security or testing except as it relates directly to either meter communications or metering system issues. Head-end integration with other business applications is specifically out of scope. Deliverables: Document enumerating issues to be considered Others TBD

GIS Status: The task force has had one organizing meeting (at Cincinnati) and will meet at New Orleans to begin the process of defining requirements. Regularly scheduled teleconferences (probably biweekly) are expected to begin after the New Orleans meeting. Charter: The OpenSpatial task force was established to define requirements for a harmonization between geospatial information standards maintained by the Open Geospatial Consortium and asset-management and electric network connectivity modelling standards maintained by Technical Committee 57 of the International Electrotechnical Commission. The goal is to enable the two sets of standards to incorporate each other’s material by reference and without bringing their respective governance practices into conflict. Deliverables: Requirements specification
