Control Centers to ESPs Environment - #9
This environment encompasses the requirements
for communications between utility control centers and Energy Service
Providers (ESPs) or “aggregators”.
Typical Applications: Real-time pricing
negotiations, aggregated customer metering and settlements. May
provide data later used for market operations.
Characteristics: A business-to-business
environment, therefore having very strict requirements for security, a
contractual level of timeliness and record-keeping. ESPs are a
volatile business environment, so the data may need to be reconfigured
on a monthly basis. Any metering data is usually aggregated and sent
in infrequent “batches”, so it does not carry data at high volumes or
speeds.
Similar Environments:
Technologically very similar to other
business-to-business environments, but connections and
associations change frequently.
Definition: This environment is defined
by the following requirements:
Communication and Information Requirements that Define this Environment
Configuration Requirements
- Support peer to peer interactions
- Support interactions across widely distributed sites
- Support the frequent change of configuration and/or location of end devices or sites
Quality of Service Requirements
- Provide medium speed messaging on the order of 10 seconds
- Support contractual timeliness (data must be available at a specific time or within a specific window of time)
- Support medium availability of information flows of 99.0+ (~3.5 days)
Security Requirements
- Provide Identity Establishment Service (you are who you say you are)
- 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 Information Integrity Service (data has not been subject to unauthorized changes or these unauthorized changes are detected)
- Provide Confidentiality Service (only authorized access to information, protection against eavesdropping)
- Provide Inter-Domain Security Service (support security requirements across organizational boundaries)
- Provide Non-repudiation Service (cannot deny that interaction took place)
- Provide Security Assurance Service (determine the level of security provided by another environment)
- Provide Audit Service (responsible for producing records, which track security relevant events)
- Provide Security Policy Service (concerned with the management of security policies)
- Provide Path and Routing Quality of Security (being able to determine a secure communication path)
- Provide Firewall Transversal
- Provide User Profile and User Management (combination of several other security services)
- Provide Security Protocol mapping (the ability to convert from one protocol to another)
- Provide Security Discovery (the ability to determine what security services are available for use)
Network and System Management Requirements
- Provide Network Management (management of media, transport, and communication nodes)
- Support extensive data validation procedures
Data Management Requirements
- Support timely access to data by multiple different users
- Support management of data whose types can vary significantly in different implementations
- Support specific standardized or de facto object models of data
- Provide discovery service (discovering available services and their characteristics)
- Provide conversion and protocol mapping
- Support the management of data across organizational boundaries
