UCAIug Mission (from charter) • The mission of the UCA International Users Group is to enable utility integration through the deployment of open standards by providing a forum in which the various stakeholders in the utility industry can work cooperatively together as members of a common organization to: • Influence, select, and/or endorse open and public standards appropriate to the utility market based upon the needs of the membership. • Specify, develop and/or accredit product/system-testing programs that facilitate the field interoperability of products and systems based upon these standards. • Implement educational and promotional activities that increase awareness and deployment of these standards in the utility industry.
GIS OMS CIS Integration Infrastructure AMR DMS WMS Goal: To The Maximum Reasonable Extent, Interface Standards Should Be Based on Common Semantics (e.g., CIM) Without Common Semantics, Point-to-Point Integration Will Continue at the Data Level • Integration anarchy is a chaos of: • (1) duplicated logic (2) duplicated data • (3) duplicated effort • (4) lack of ability to easily create new functionality

Use Case Methodology Use Cases: Best Practice for Requirements Development
SCI Use Case • AMI Use Case: C1 • Title: Customer reduces their usage in response to pricing or voluntary load reduction events • 4 scenarios, 40 pages • Business rules, actors, trigger conditions, pre & post conditions, requirements etc. • Text and table format
DR Use Case Examples The DR solution shall manage demand resources. The DR solution shall communicate with organizations that manage the grid. The DR solution shall provide for participation of independent third party electric distributors.
