| Objectives | The objective of the project is to establish the DNOs present and future requirements for the storage, analysis and interrogation of SCADA time series data together with its associated developed cost. The Project includes the following main identifiable steps which can be assessed for completeness and an indication of successful conclusion: Requirements gathering, user interaction allowing processing to next step; Requirements specification - production of a complete specification against which the existing market can be compared and potential suppliers may quote; Tender process resulting in identifiable solutions and costs; Selection of a preferred solution; Follow on instructions / details for following implementation project. The progression to the next stage is predicated on the success of the previous steps in each case, so the ability to follow on in this way is a key measure of ongoing success. A final identified solution outcome is the ultimate measure of Project completeness and success. | |
| Abstract | It is a fundamental requirement for the DNO transition towards DSO that there is a greater understanding and visibility of the historic and real-time energy flows, as well as a much more complete data capability as technology moves towards a cloud based ‘Internet of Things’. Holistic, big picture views are necessary to knit together the right data repositories in optimal fashion and establish a flexible foundation for the future, with the highest value data readily accessible to the right user. This research project will seek to answer three questions;
The project will form three distinct work packages in order meet the objectives as set out in this document; Work Package 1 - Production of a requirements specification for a new time series database based on research including learnings from Time Series Data Quality project together with internal business input and wider DNO input. Work Package 2 - Review of the current solutions and technologies available and how they compare against our identified anticipated requirements. Work Package 3 - Tender process for a time series database and integrated analysis tool. Costs from this will then inform a subsequent time series database development project.
