Energy Meter Installations

Keys to Successful Energy Meter Installation:• Standardized energy meters• Certified energy configuration systems • Engaged and problem‐solving Agency IA• Lots of funding??


Army‐wide Metering Connectivity Path Forward

Army Metering Program: Connectivity Issues Path Forward –Overview

• Isolated VLAN: Mitigate risks to the Installation Campus Area Network (ICAN) by establishing Meter Enclave on an isolated Virtual LAN (VLAN) within the local NEC that provides one‐way data transmission from the meters/metering data appliances to the Enterprise MDMS server (which will eventually reside in the Army DISA cloud).

• Risk Assessment of Major Meter Configurations at Information Assurance Security Engineering Directorate (IASED) Laboratory. Coordinate results with NETCOM and Cyber IA (formerly IACORA). Provide Risk Assessments to give Cyber IA and 7th Signal Command (SC) a “clear picture” of the risk and how we will mitigate that risk as needed. Reconfigurate technical solution for major meter configurations based on risk mitigation plans, if necessary.

• Risk Assessment of Major Meter Configurations at Pilot Sites. Request 7th SC to establish local VLAN’s at local NEC levels. Install connectivity equipment via UMCS Contractors. Conduct Field Assessments via IASED. Prepare and submit expanded MDMS ATO to NETCOM and Cyber IA for approval. Prepare field meter connectivity checklist for 7th SC to satisfy Type Accreditation.

• MDMS ATO: Cyber IA and NETCOM Networthiness will issue new policy via a potential Meter Data Management System (MDMS) Authority to Operate (ATO) to conform to the revised solution.

• Implement Approved Technical Solution at Active Army Installations/Centers/Sites. Coordinate with 7th SC to establish policy at the local NEC levels to create/establish VLAN’s. Install connectivity equipment beyond the pilot sites. ACSIM will send an OPORD to AMC, IMCOM, USAR, and ARNG in order to implement the new NETCOM policy.

• MDMS Communication: CEHNC to establish communications protocol between meters and MDMS and establish required schema for data. Schema and XML/SOAP conversion software will be pre‐loaded on approved meter data appliances.

Meter Connectivity Timeline, Typical Configuration

Way Ahead:• Proceed with meter installation , information assurance, system

connectivity, and MDMS reporting

• Publish guidance that aligns meter implementation across Army programs

• Finalize standards for connectivity and data transmission across Army networks

• Address new and future Army Metering Initiatives– Simulators (operational energy)– Army data centers – Tier 2 facilities (smaller energy footprint)

Army Metering Vision:• Advanced meters reporting locally to Enterprise Energy Data

Reporting Systems (EEDRS)• Advanced meters reporting to enterprise MDMS

Goals:• Achieve $70M+ annual utility cost savings starting in fiscal year

2017• Comply with EPAct05 and EISA2007• Utilize EEDRS and MDMS as reporting and trending tool by

Army Energy Managers • Measure 65% of the total energy consumed by Army facilities


Jumping the Shark!!!

IF:• Energy Metering Plan approved• Energy Meters installed and connected to

certified local dashboard or secured web‐based system

• Metered data reporting to centralized agency dashboard

• Metered data is validated• All energy meters are functioning

properly

IF YOUR VALIDATED METERED DATA ARE REPORTING TO A CENTRALIZED AGENCY DASHBOARD AND ALL ENERGY METERS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, IT IS TIME FOR THE NEXT STEP!!!!!


Metered Data Outputs

Smart Energy Meters:• Must indicate building energy

consumption trends• Must measure energy consumption• Must measure GHG emissions • Must have validated metered data• Must function properly and be

maintained


Advanced Metering

Advanced Energy Meters:• Standardized metering

implementation and acquisition strategy – federal and agency

• Sub‐metering• Standardized central

dashboard – federal and agency

• Standardized federal and agency energy meter certification/cybersecurity program

• Integrated, secured building controls/energy meter systems

• Standardized meter replacement and O&M process

• Inter‐agency federal energy meter working group


Building Energy Consumption Trend Analysis with Metered Data


Next Step from Advanced Meters ‐ EMIS

EMIS gives property owners and energy managers the ability to see their metered energy use and take action to reduce energy consumption and waste.

Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) are a relatively new technology based on the old adage "you can't manage what you don’t measure."
