Client is a visionary company which offers a comprehensive portfolio of energy related products to approximately 3.3 million Electricity customers and 1.8 million Natural Gas customers

Client is serving customers in Eight states across the United States Current Electricity grid model has not changed much in the past century With growing needs of customers the current grid model will become unreliable in the

future Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 identifies Smart Grid as the future

direction for Electricity Grids in the United States of America Smart Grid – Modernization of the Electricity Grid to improve reliability and efficiency Advantages of Smart Grid implementation

Adding more clean and green power sources in our fuel mix—greatly improving power delivery and reliability while optimizing environmental benefits.

A grid that allows more choice about when, how much and what kind of energy consumers use.

A digitally enhanced, more resilient and stable energy grid that is less prone to outages and improves power reliability.

More energy efficiency and conservation options to manage consumers energy dollars.

Smart Grid


Smart Grid Project A dynamic system rich in information technology High-speed, real-time, two-way communications Sensors throughout the grid enabling rapid diagnosis and corrections Decision-making data and support for peak efficiency Distributed generation technologies (such as wind turbines, solar panels, and plug-in

hybrid electric vehicles) Automated “smart substations” In-home energy control devices Automated home energy use

Web-based Account Management Project Back-end application integration with web based portal for consumers Account Information maintenance Web Portal application for customers to manage their account information and

services Start, Stop or Transfer service Electronic Bill payments Energy usage and payments analysis

Projects being implemented with DataPower


Challenges

Smart Grid Project Build a flexible, reliable, Service oriented and highly available Architecture to support

full scale smart Grid implementation across the enterprise Enable standards based secured XML and web services transactions between Client

and its Smart Grid partners Support SOA Architecture by providing ability for centralized governance, security

policy management and implementing Web services security standards such as WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy.

Implement standards based interfaces and enable message level security. Uncompromised performance because of added security measures


Challenges

Web-based Account Management Project Build a self service account management portal for its Customer and Partners Enable standards based secured, trusted, multiparty XML and web services business

transactions between utility and its customers and business partners Provide SOA based Platform to integrate utility back office applications with Partner

applications Protect confidential data and utility systems from threats including e-vandalism, data

theft, and intentional or unintentional denial of service attacks Implement standards based interfaces and enable message level security. Uncompromised performance because of added security measures


Miracle’s Solution

Smart Grid Project WebSphere DataPower XI50 ESB gateway as a DMZ solution along with the IBM WebSphere

Message Broker, IBM WebSphere Process Server, IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM WebSphere Service Registry & Repository and IBM WebSphere MQ as an integration hub for SOA enablement

Web-based Account Management Project WebSphere DataPower XI50 ESB gateway as a DMZ solution along with Partner provided UI for

the web portal and IBM WebSphere Business Integrator, IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM WebSphere Service Registry & Repository as an integration hub for SOA enablement

WebSphere DataPower XI50 Solution Both the projects use WebSphere DataPower XI50 security appliance to centralize access to, and

accelerate the various SOA interfaces with partners Out of the box, the DataPower XI50 appliance addresses a wide variety of SOA transport threats

that can be introduced either by error or malice DataPower XI50 appliance is configured to apply rigid policy constraints on both published and

consumed services The appliance provides the ability to terminate transport (SSL) and individual attribute level

encryption elements, Centralized governance, security policy management, Service level monitoring and management and advanced auditing and logging features

The appliance acts as an ESB Gateway and provides Transformation, Routing, Protocol and Format bridging capabilities
