Design and Standards

The MDM/R must integrate with various external systems – including smart meter technologies that may operate differently – to process smart meter data that is sent to it. Select from the files below to learn more about the standards, user interfaces and specifications that govern the MDM/R and how it is designed. The documents include technical interface specifications that detail how LDC systems should interact with MDM/R programs – or, what is required from an LDC to “interface” with it. A PDF that describes the format of MDM/R reports is also available.

 

Visitors are encouraged to review the Sample Reports and Files page to download specific sample files that are referenced in the MDM/R Technical Interface and Reports specifications. The sample files should be used in conjunction with both documents.
