New Component: Energy Data Management (IS-U-EDM)
Use
Energy Data Management (IS-U-EDM) is a new IS-U component that must be purchased separately. IS-U-EDM Release 4.62 is a First Customer Shipment (FCS) that is not intended for general use. This means that you cannot implement IS-U-EDM without prior permission from SAP.
IS-U-EDM allows you to manage consumption data and related business processes. It is especially useful for managing and billing consumption data measured at specific intervals (such as load profiles or load shapes).
The most important IS-U-EDM functions are:
- Profile management
- You can create, change and display profile values. You can display values as graphics or in standard table format.
- Functions for defining profiles can be found under Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Profile Management -> Profile Header and under Energy Data Management -> Profile Management -> Profile Values.
- You can manage interval data in profiles. Examples of interval data include energy consumption, transformation factors and prices. You can use 15-minute, 30-minute and 1-hour intervals. You can also adjust the intervals provided to meet your requirements.
- You can adjust interval lengths in Customizing.
- You can display the status of profile values and versions.
- You can define how the status is displayed in Customizing under Define Display of Profile Value Status.
- Definition and management of synthetic profiles
- You can manage synthetic profiles and their values in your own predefined structure. Such structures allow you to manage synthetic profiles differently according to season, for example.
- You establish settings for synthetic profiles in Customizing under Basic Settings.
- Functions for defining synthetic profiles can be found under Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Profile Management -> Profile Header.
- You can allocate synthetic profiles to installations in order to characterize the consumption patterns of an installation. You also allocate a usage factor to profiles. In conjunction with the synthetic profile, the usage factor determines the consumption of an individual installation. The system can re-calculate the usage factor at the time of billing.
- Functions for installations can be found under Utilities Industry -> Technical Master Data.
- The system can automatically update the usage factor of a synthetic profile for an installation. To implement this function, you have to add variant program QUANTI24 to the billing program in Customizing under Define Schemas.
- Integration of profiles with IS-U
- You can allocate profiles to the registers you already manage in IS-U. In this way, profile data is linked to the IS-U data model and profiles are integrated into standard IS-U business processes.
- Before you can allocate profiles to registers, you have to Define Roles for Profile Allocation in Customizing.
- To do this, go to Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Profile Management -> Profile Allocation.
- Automatic calculation of profile values
- Profile values can be calculated automatically using predefined formulas. For example, you can use the total consumption measured by different meters at one location to form a singl profile for a customer.
- Functions for defining automatic profile calculation can be found under Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Profile Management -> Profile Header.
- The functions for executing and monitoring automatic profile calculation can be found under Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Automatic Profile Calculation.
- Import of profile values
- You can import profile values via:
- BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interface) ISUPROFILE.Upload (corresponding IDoc of basic type ISUPROFILE_UPLOAD01)
- IDocs of basic type MSCONS
- The function for automatic import monitoring can found under Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Monitoring -> Profile Import.
- OLE interface
- Microsoft® Excel has been integrated into IS-U-EDM via OLE interface (Object Linking and Embedding)
- This interface enables you to:
- Export profile values (including status) to a Microsoft® Excel file.
- Import profile values (including status) of an elementary profile from a Microsoft® Excel file.
- The system performs predefined checks during the import process. You can define Consistency Checks in Customizing.
- You can display and edit profile values using all the standard Microsoft® Excel functions, such as graphics and macros.
- You can also store data changed online in Microsoft® Excel files.
- OLE interface functions can be found under Utilities Industry -> Energy Data Management -> Profile Management -> Profile Header.
- You can use the functions described above if you have installed Microsoft® Excel.
- Internet Application Components
- You can use the Internet Application Component EWEBIAC_PRODIS to display profile values. However, you can only display profile values managed in IS-U.
- Real-time-pricing (RTP) billing
- RTP billing allows you to bill consumption measured at certain intervals (that is, load profiles) stored in IS-U-EDM.
- This means you can bill consumption measured in 15-minute intervals, for example. RTP billing allows you to structure rates more freely, especially for nonresidential customers. As a result, you can control billing more easily for:
- Individual installations
- This includes special agreements with a particular customer on the delivery of a fixed amount of energy over a certain period (spot purchase agreement)
- Groups of installations (rate-related)
- This includes special price agreements for a group of customers for a limited time.
- The advantage of RTP billing is that it allows you to bill much smaller units of time (such as 15-minute intervals) that correspond to metering intervals.
- You define the types of RTP billing that you want to use in Customizing under Define RTP Interfaces.
- You must establish the following customizing settings before you can use the RTP interface:
- Define the rates with a relevant usage type under Define Rates.
- Define operands with usage type RTP under Define Operands.
- The RTP interface allows you to model billing rules for nonresidential customers in an extremely flexible fashion. You can override billing rules for a particular rate by modifying the installation structure accordingly.
- Modifications to the installation structure
- During device installation and modification you can specify the length of metering intervals. You cannot process interval meters using standard meter reading procedures.
