The high level Scope of this project is to deliver a working Proof of Concept of how data can be managed and used effectively in decision support.
To deliver this SPEN has identified several discrete Work Packages to be delivered under the project:
- WP 1: Discovery
Fully understand the data issues/inconsistencies that exist and the problems they cause. Fully validate that the propose approach will address these problems
- WP 2: DINO Proof of Concept (PoC) Build
Focused on the build out of a test bed to allow operation of use cases in new data management environment
- WP 3: DINO Evaluation
Focused on the identifying the pros and cons of operating the business under the new data regime by comparing the PoC with current operational processes.
- WP 4: Business as Usual (BaU) Adoption
Focused on the identification of the necessary business changes required to adopt DINO best practices into BaU e.g. policy changes, reference architectures, Smart IT roadmap.
- WP 5: Further enhancements
Focused on the identification and evaluation of further enhancements in DINO that can deliver additional DNO / customer benefits.
- WP 6: Dissemination
Focused on the dissemination of the project learning to UK customers, DNOs and vendors of remote sensing equipment / asset management systems to stimulate the market.
Each discrete Work Package has Objectives:
WP 1: Discovery
· To produce a fully scoped problem definition and desired outcomes
WP 2: DINO PoC Build
· To create a “near to operational” proof of concept test bed that can demonstrate how these problems could be addressed
WP 3: DINO Evaluation
· To assess the efficacy of the data management and analysis methods employed.
WP 4: BaU Adoption
· To identify the necessary business changes required to facilitate the adoption of DINO principles as BaU and justify efficacy of doing so.
WP 5: Further Enhancements
· Identification and exploration of further enhancements with different business use cases that can deliver additional DNO / customer benefits and confirm best practice to move into BaU can be replicated across all DNO business areas.
WP 6: Dissemination
- Dissemination of project activities, scope, deliverables to UK DNOs, customers and vendors at several points within the project in order to stimulate the uptake and development
Each discrete Work Package has a Success Criteria:
- WP 1: Discovery
The delivery of detailed problem statements for the chosen use cases.
- WP 2: DINO PoC Build
Delivery of a near operational PoC to demonstrate problem solutions and best practice.
- WP 3: DINO Evaluation
Successful iteration of use cases.
Determination if an optimal means of managing an operationally efficient solution to the problems is evident
- WP 4: BaU Adoption
The production of proposals for how BaU adoption could be facilitated.
- WP 5: Further Enhancements
The publication of a set of proposed next steps and the likely benefits they will deliver.
- WP 6: Dissemination
The sharing of experience with UK DNOs and vendors, to allow optimum support for smart grid.
