BS EN 61968-9:2009 Application integration at electric utilities - System interfaces for distribution management - Interface for meter reading and control
This document is Part 9 of the IEC 61968 standard and specifies the information content of a set of message types that can be used to support many of the business functions related to meter reading and control. Typical uses of the message types include meter reading, meter control, meter events, customer data synchronization and customer switching. Although intended primarily for electrical distribution networks, IEC 61968-9 can be used for other metering applications, including non-electrical metered quantities necessary to support gas and water networks.
The purpose of this document is to define a standard for the integration of metering systems (MS), which includes traditional manual systems, and (one or two-way) automated meter reading (AMR) systems, with other systems and business functions within the scope of IEC 61968. The scope of this International Standard is the exchange of information between a
metering system and other systems within the utility enterprise. The specific details of communication protocols those systems employ are outside the scope of this standard.
Instead, this standard will recognize and model the general capabilities that can be potentially
provided by advanced and/or legacy meter infrastructures, including two-way communication
capabilities such as load control, dynamic pricing, outage detection, distributed energy resource (DER) control signals and on-request read. In this way, this standard will not be
impacted by the specification, development and/or deployment of next generation meter infrastructures either through the use of standards or proprietary means.
The capabilities and information provided by a meter reading system are important for a variety of purposes, including (but not limited to) interval data, time-based demand data, timebased energy data (usage and production), outage management, service interruption, service restoration, quality of service monitoring, distribution network analysis, distribution planning, demand reduction, customer billing and work management. This standard also extends the CIM (Common Information Model) to support the exchange of meter data.
