This presentation was about an application developed for designing electrical grid systems and managing the vast amounts of data generated from smart grid systems.
Company profile: Open Grid Systems:
- Users of Eclipse
- Consultancy and software company
- Model driven focus
- Tries to use open, cutting edge, technologies
Product: Cimphony:
- Power systems data viewer in Eclipse
- 125+ Eclipse RCP plug-ins
- Very modular
- Supports headless deployment
- Some components exposed as web services
- Can be deployed as smaller applications
- All OSGi
- Model driven frameworks
- Browser
- Graphical editor using GMaps hosted on Jetty
- Single Line Diagrammer
- Handles many data formats used by the many layers of companies in the electrical market
- Separates structure and format
- Uses OCL for validation outside of ECore based on profiles
- Added annotated comments to OCL with human readable error messages
- QVTO data transformation language
- User and internally executable transformations on data
- Transformation registry with auto-discovery
- Added annotated comments for UI error messages
- Uses CDO as data store for a very flexible local repository
Challenges in SmartGrid technology:
- Bi-directional communication between home and electrical companies (distributors/re-sellers)
- New trend is people generating their own power and are no longer just simple consumers
- Open, but complicated, standards
- Electrical network models
- Mathematical functional models
- Common Information Model (UML)
- RDF XML
- Challenge is to establish standards for the data formats
- Very complicated
- Large amounts of data
- Many proprietary power systems have many legacy data formats
- Problematic when networks need to interact
- Many companies involved at different levels
- Smart meters involve real-time analysis and control
