InstantEA for Energy – Industry Reference Architecture
InstantEA for Energy expands the InstantEA Foundation with a complete reference architecture designed for the energy and utilities sector.
It enables energy providers, grid operators, and retailers to structure their enterprise architectures around industry standards, regulatory frameworks, and operational excellence principles.
Key Features
Energy Domain Model: Comprehensive capability maps and value streams spanning generation, transmission, distribution, and retail operations.
Standards Alignment: Incorporates mappings to key industry standards such as IEC 61970/61968 (CIM), IEC 62325 (Market Models), and ISO 55000 (Asset Management).
Reference Architecture Blueprints: Logical models of energy systems — SCADA, OMS, EMS, CIS, and smart metering — mapped to business capabilities and data flows.
Process Frameworks: Ready-to-use examples for asset management, outage management, grid operations, and energy trading.
Information & Integration Models: Conceptual data domains and example integration patterns for real-time and batch data exchange (IoT, APIs, event-driven architecture).
Digital Delivery: Provided as a modular digital knowledge base (Confluence, SharePoint, or web app), easily tailored to an organization’s architecture repository.
