Connections

Plan how external observations and business systems meet the plant record.

  • Power Plant Operations
  • Meter source
  • Plant control system
  • Commercial settlement

Systems to connect

  • Meter source. Decide how observations enter the meter reading record, including their reading time, value and quality flag.
  • Plant control system. Agree how operational events are reported from equipment monitoring and who confirms the actual start and recovery times.
  • Commercial settlement. Use site rate periods and accepted energy quantities as inputs to the process your organization uses for settlement.

How connections are governed

Give each incoming reading a meter identity and preserve the source observation for review. Align measurement units and timezones before comparing values across systems. Operations Reviewers decide on received energy intervals; external delivery alone does not make an interval validated. Operations Managers own event response and task assignment. Reconcile external results against the record that staff approved before using them for a commercial decision.
