Energy information exchange

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating data synchronization in a utility computing environment. A data synchronization application can monitor source systems in such an environment and generate periodic change sets that correspond to data that has changed in the various source systems. Destination systems can subscribe to change sets and receive the appropriate change sets by monitoring flags that the data synchronization application can set. Various classes of change sets that correspond to data within a particular change set can also be generated.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
identifying, in at least one computing device, information corresponding to a plurality of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) metering devices, the information having changed during a specified period of time, the information comprising energy information; extracting, in the at least one computing device, the energy information from an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) head-end, the energy information associated with at least a subset of the AMI metering devices; generating, in the at least one computing device, an energy usage change set, wherein the energy usage change set consists of a change set identifier, a change set type, at least one flag indicating the energy information within the energy usage change set, and a plurality of records associated with the energy information changed during the specified period of time with respect to the plurality of AMI metering devices, wherein the change set type indicates a type of data change that has occurred during the specified period of time, wherein the change set identifier represents an unique identifier with respect to a plurality of previously generated change sets; publishing the energy usage change set on an enterprise service bus.
