EnergyIP® Front End Processor (FEP)

• Near real time data processing requirement seen in multiple markets

• Seeking a common platform for AMI, SCADA and behind the meter device data management

• Need for a highly available, high performance data ingestion and processing system which is flexible to
support varied use cases

• A platform which is architected to seamlessly build new applications, extend them and integrate
with enterprise systems

EnergyIP® Front End Processor is a set of processes, schema and data flow enhancements to
facilitate the ingestion of high speed interval data from smart meters in near real time.

EnergyIP® FEP : Key functionality

• Data Ingestion
- Process meter read data in near real time, with zero message loss
• Validation
- Perform limited validations on data in near real time
• Data Store and Purge
- Data stored in temporary data store for near real time access
- Data stored temporarily in FEP and purged after forwarding to DRP
• Estimation
- Copy forward type estimations handled in export adapters
• Data Presentation/Export
- Enhanced Meter Read WS to retrieve near real time data at meter level
- Export functionality to bulk export data from near real time data store
