BRIDGE Energy Group Smart Grid Integration Strategy & Implementation Partner HQ in Boston-metro area with offices in US, Canada Developed an open SGRA (open Smart Grid Reference Architecture) Working on many Smart Grid Projects within US & Canada White Paper on Integration Roadmap for Smart Grid From Accidental Architecture to Smart Grid Architecture 2
What is Integration? The capability of two or more networks, systems, devices, applications, or components to exchange information between them and to use the information so exchanged - Department of Energy s GridWise Architecture Council 3
The moving parts of Integration? Standard Vocabulary or Shared meaning of content Registry Technology & Architecture Party or System A Interface of A Communication & Transport Messages Interface of B Party or System B Business Operating Model Interoperation or Collaboration Agreement 4
Technical Challenges? Need Technical Vision & Strategy Need Strategic vs. Tactical approach Need Implementation Experience Not Vendor or Product Driven, But Solutions Driven Current Point to Point Architecture is Brittle & Inflexible Need integration with Legacy & highly Customized Apps Data Volume Deluge resulting in Performance Issues Evolving Standard; that are difficult to apply Lack of expertise using SOA and ESB correctly Security Challenges No NERC CIP equivalent 5
Need for IT & OT Integration New Business Models, New Operating Models Organizational Challenges Business Challenges? Status Quo is easy, Organizational Transformation is difficult Change Management, New Skillsets What is the Value to the Organization Return on Investment & Cost Benefit Analysis Technical Leadership Aligning IT with Business, Technical Discipline & IT Governance Regulatory impact Value to Consumers 6
