Minimum Architecture for Connecting a Smart Meter into SAP IS-U

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I´m new to this forum and hoping, that I have found the right place for my Question here - if not please tell me or feel free to move my topic to the right place.

I want to set up a small AMI infrastructure and integrate them into SAP IS-U.

This is for having just a small test-environment, where I'm thinking of just one smart meter to connect to SAP IS-U. I would like to communicate to this Meter using the AMI enterprise services and do such things like reading consumption-date or disconnecting the Meter.

Thanks in advance, best regards

Hi,

Your query needs a deatiled response.. Following may answer your query..

1. Enhancement of Device Category and Device

- Qualification as Smart Meter

- AMI Capabilities of the Meter and of the Advanced Metering System (AMS)

- Relation to the MDUS/AMS

2. Enhancement of

- Business Warehouse Content of Device Category/Device

- Business Object repository (Device) to enable Business Workflow for AMIrelated

processes

- Master Data Generator and Migration Workbench (Device/Installation/

Removal/Replacement)

3. Regional Structure and Grid:allocation of an Advanced

Metering System

- Assigned to Division

- Availability for Default, Search Help and Checks (e.g. for installation process)

- Optional Maintenance

- Assignment on City or Street Level (Regional Structure)

4. Meter Reading Document u2013 New Fields

Advanced Metering System (AMS); transmission status (TRANSSTAT);

transmission date (TRANSDATE) and time (TRANSTIME)

5. Sending of Meter Reading Orders

- Creation of MR Orders 􀃆 XML Message 􀃆 PI and update of status

- Possibility to save transaction without meter reading results

- BAdI: General decision whether an XML message should be created /

sent directly

- Meter Reading Unit 􀃆 NO (Performance)

- Contract, Installation, Devices 􀃆 YES

- Possibility to store confirmation from sending of a meter reading request

6. Receiving of Meter Reading Results (triggered from SAP)

- Receive and storage of meter reading results

- Update of status in meter reading document

7. Receiving of Meter Reading Results (pushed by AMS)

- Automatic creation of meter reading orders (technical reasons)

- Handling of different scenarios, e.g. update of meter reading results, etc.

- Confirmation is sent to AMS

Please let me know need more details.

Hi,

thank you Vinod for your effort so far. I have to admit, that I doesn't have much of expertise in SAP IS-U. So let me please just check if I have got everthing right.

From a System perspective I will need the following:

- Smart Meter

- AMI-System

- MDUS-System

- SAP NetWeaver PI

- SAP eSOA with the AMI enterprise services delieverd in EhP2 and EhP4

- SAP IS-U with (EDM, CRM, EAM, ECM)

Please tell me if - for the sake of a minimum test-drive-installation - I can leave out any of the components (especially if there is any way to skip the MDUS-System or the AMI-System and communicating directly from the SAP-System to the Smart Meter).

Furthermore I'd be glad to know if I will have to create those new fields in the SAP-System or if these are automatically created by installing the Enhancement Packages.

Best regards
