Formulating a Heat Map

Process Foundations

THE PROBLEM SPACE

The Variables

Behind and questionable

Ready to go

The Problem Space…

• Recession• Politically Green• Progressing from AMR to AMI• Rightsizing the Scope• Smart Grid Funding• Predicting the Future• Accelerating a Sure and Steady Industry

Politically Green

• Where’s the Business Value?• Where’s the Regulatory/Legislative Clarity• What’s the Rate of return regulation• Pilots sure… what about after that?

From AMR to AMI

• More timely measurement• Automatic detection of outages• Providing a gateway to HAN• Enabling demand response programs• Management of Schedules

Rightsizing the Scope

Home, Distribution, Generation, Monitoring, etc.

In the Home

Distribution

Monitoring

Multidimensional Functionality

• Dashboard• History• Data Warehousing• GIS• Portals• CIS• Sensors• Cloud Computing

ARCHITECTING THE SOLUTION

Who are the Players?

• Executives• IS• IT/NetOps• The POC Implementers• Integration Experts• Analysts• Operations

Proof of Concept

The Architecture Process

• Identify the stakeholders• Determine the scope• Enumerate the systems• Determine what the questions are• Define a road map• Create the Architecture• Select the Technology• Implement a vertical proof of concept

Is that all it is?
