Non-Critical Operations DAC Data Acquisition Environment - #6
Non-Critical
Operations Data Acquisition and Control environment represents the set
of requirements for gathering less-vital data to the control center,
usually for the purposes of optimizing the power network rather than
for safety, legality or reliability reasons.
Typical applications: Monitoring
non-power system equipment, power quality monitoring, primary
equipment monitoring, some kinds of customer metering.
Characteristics: Since this environment
does not involve critical information exchanges, impacts from security
breaches are minimal, and therefore extensive security measures are
not mandatory. Data may be required in hours or days rather than
seconds.
Similar Environments: Unlike
Inter-Field Equipment, this information goes directly to and from the
control center, similar to High-Security DAC but not as critical.
Definition: This environment is defined
by the following requirements:
Communication and Information Requirements that Define this Environment
Configuration Requirements
- Support interactions between a few "clients" and many "servers"
- Support interactions across widely distributed sites
- Support compute-constrained and/or media constrained communications
Quality of Service Requirements
- Provide medium speed messaging on the order of 10 seconds
- Support high availability of information flows of 99.9+ (~9 hours)
Security Requirements
- Provide Authorization Service for Access Control (resolving a policy-based access control decision to ensure authorized entities have appropriate access rights and authorized access is not denied)
- Provide Audit Service (responsible for producing records, which track security relevant events)
- Provide Security Policy Service (concerned with the management of security policies)
Network and System Management Requirements
- Provide Network Management (management of media, transport, and communication nodes)
- Provide System Management (management of end devices and applications)
Data Management Requirements
- Support keeping the data up-to-date
- Support specific standardized or de facto object models of data
- Provide discovery service (discovering available services and their characteristics)
- Provide conversion and protocol mapping
