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
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.
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.
