building blocks for EDM ??

[Former Member]

Is there any building blocks available for ISU-EDM component.?

[Former Member]

EDM is broadly divided into three parts:

1) Central data repository - Maintain all the energy data in a central data repository. It stores all the data in form of equal intervals u2013 for example 05/15/30/60 minute interval.

2) Complex billing - For billing interval data like real time pricing, time of use and spot pricing.

3) Settlement workbench - Process the settlement runs schedules and load shapes through settlement workbench.

[Former Member]

Yes.

There are Building blocks in EDM RTP(Real Time Pricing).

RTP interfaces consist of the following:

Header data

Header data contains the formula for calculating assigned profiles, the interval length, the division and the day offset.

Result Parameters

Result parameters are assigned to operand categories and references to output parameters. The result parameters provide the operands with data in the RTP rate in IS-U billing.

RTP Components

An RTP interface can have several components. The components are sorted according to priority. This makes it possible to determine which component is to be executed when several components have the same activation period.

The assigned profiles are the input parameters. The output parameters are obtained from the formula calculation.

EDM is comprised of 3 areas:

1) Profile Management - This area manages data values in profile.

2) RTP Billing - This area manages interval meter read billing through RTP interface.

3) Settlement & Scheduling - This area manages energy settlements.

Areas in Profile Management:

Key Types of Profile

i) Historic Profile - Stores historic data such as consumption.

ii) Forecast profile - Stores prognostic values such as forecast.

iii) Synthetic profile - Profile containing values generated on the basis of predefined periods (day and season groups) and corresponding day and annual profiles.

iv) Formula profile - Profile containing values calculated from historic/ forecast profiles using a user defined formula such as addition, subtraction.

Areas in RTP Billing:

Consumption recorded in profile are billed through Real Time Pricing (RTP) Interface through which interval readings can be billed on RTP or Time of use (TOU).

i) Integrates ISU-EDM with ISU-Contract billing

ii) Is easy to enhance (customer-specific formulas and results functions)

iii) Period-based billing

iv) Time-of-day blocks (e.g. on-peak rate / off-peak rate)

v) Day blocks (e.g. weekday / weekend day)

vi) Season blocks (e.g. summer / winter)

vii) Application of a spot price or index price

viii) Determination of demand values (e.g. maximum demand)

Areas in Settlement & Scheduling:

In a de-regulated market scenario energy settlement is a key process, which can be used to calculate the actual/forecast for a area (Settlement unit)

Based on the role in the utility market ISU -EDM settlement can be used for:

i) Sending schedules (Supplier)

ii) Sending consumption (distributor)

iii) Energy settlement (Settlement co-ordinator)

Key Functionalites of EDM:

a) Acts as a Energy repository for storing interval data such as meter reads, prices with interval as small as 5 mins.

b) Handles complex billing such as real time pricing and time of use pricing through RTP billing.

c) Handles energy settlement process via settlement workbench.

d) Forecasting by using synthetic profiles.

e) Reporting Energy values at various levels e.g.customer, with the help of formula profile.

f) Consistency check for while importing the data.

g) Automatic replacement of missing data values.

h) Publishing interval data on the internet via SAP transaction server and internet application components.

i) Graphical analysis of interval data such as Consumption v/s Forecast.

j) Integration with Excel for import and exporting the profile values

Key Benifits of EDM:

a) Complete solution for Energy Data Management especially for customers in de-regulated industry.

b) Pre-configured interfaces for automated meter reading (AMR) systems.

c) Complete solution for interval meters.

d) Seamless integration with other my-SAP solutions such as CRM, BW.

e) SAP is continuously enhancing system to meet the challenges of de-regulated industry.
