Energy and utilities data integration
Utilities integrate metering, grid telemetry, market data and weather inputs, often across both operational and corporate networks.
Example use case
A distribution operator combines feeder measurements from DNP3 and IEC 61850 sources, smart meter readings from a DLMS/COSEM head-end and ENTSO-E data to study voltage issues where rooftop solar is concentrated.
Typical sources and transports
DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-104 via SCADA gateways, IEC 61850 MMS, DLMS/COSEM through head-end exports, ENTSO-E ECP, AVEVA PI historians, and GRIB2 weather files.
What the data means
Meter values must distinguish interval energy from cumulative registers and carry the interval end time. Grid values have quality flags and IED timestamps that should be preserved.
Prerequisites
Before connecting energy and utilities sources, prepare an inventory of systems and owners, interface documentation for each one, read-only credentials and approved network paths. Agree identifiers, units and time zones early, and name a person who can confirm values against the source during commissioning.
Limitations
No control or switching. Head-end and historian access usually requires vendor licences, and file-size limits on bulk energy files are planned per project.
ALLINLET reads and normalises data; it does not control equipment.
