UsagePoint
Class Description
Logical or physical point in the network to which readings or events may be attributed. Used at the place where a physical or virtual meter may be located; however, it is not required that a meter be present.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| amiBillingReady | AmiBillingReadyKind | Tracks the lifecycle of the metering installation at a usage point with respect to readiness for billing via advanced metering infrastructure reads. |
| checkBilling | Boolean | True if as a result of an inspection or otherwise, there is a reason to suspect that a previous billing may have been performed with erroneous data. Value should be reset once this potential discrepancy has been resolved. |
| connectionCategory | String | A code used to specify the connection category, e.g., low voltage or low pressure, where the usage point is defined. |
| connectionState | UsagePointConnectedKind | State of the usage point with respect to connection to the network. |
| disconnectionMethod | String | Is an indication of how the usage point is physically connected or disconnected. |
| estimatedLoad | CurrentFlow | Estimated load. |
| grounded | Boolean | True if grounded. |
| isSdp | Boolean | If true, this usage point is a service delivery point, i.e., a usage point where the ownership of the service changes hands. |
| isVirtual | Boolean | If true, this usage point is virtual, i.e., no physical location exists in the network where a meter could be located to collect the meter readings. For example, one may define a virtual usage point to serve as an aggregation of usage for all of a company's premises distributed widely across the distribution territory. Otherwise, the usage point is physical, i.e., there is a logical point in the network where a meter could be located to collect meter readings. |
| minimalUsageExpected | Boolean | If true, minimal or zero usage is expected at this usage point for situations such as premises vacancy, logical or physical disconnect. It is used for readings validation and estimation. |
| nominalServiceVoltage | Voltage | Nominal service voltage. |
| outageRegion | String | Outage region in which this usage point is located. |
| phaseCode | PhaseCode | Phase code. Number of wires and specific nominal phases can be deduced from enumeration literal values. For example, ABCN is three-phase, four-wire, s12n (splitSecondary12N) is single-phase, three-wire, and s1n and s2n are single-phase, two-wire. |
| phaseCount | Integer | Number of potential phases the Usage Point supports, typically 0, 1 or 3. |
| physicalConnectionCapacity | DecimalQuantity | Quantitative information about the maximum physical capacity of the connection for the usage point. |
| ratedCurrent | CurrentFlow | Current flow that this usage point is configured to deliver. |
| ratedPower | ActivePower | Active power that this usage point is configured to deliver. |
| readCycle | String | Cycle day on which the meter for this usage point will normally be read. Usually correlated with the billing cycle. |
| readRoute | String | Identifier of the route to which this usage point is assigned for purposes of meter reading. Typically used to configure hand held meter reading systems prior to collection of reads. |
| serviceDeliveryRemark | String | Remarks about this usage point, for example the reason for it being rated with a non-nominal priority. |
| servicePriority | String | Priority of service for this usage point. Note that usage points at the same service location can have different priorities. |
