01
Define the operating scope
Include substation or field data sources, edge compute host, Service Endlet, approved workload in a representative operating scope.
Utilities
Smart grid edge · Briefing
Define the operating requirements for smart grid edge.
Run approved analytics or control-support workloads near grid operations while governing identity, data locality, and service paths.
Primary capability
Endlet
Operational outcome
Define the operating constraint, systems, and decision.
Process selected grid data near its source while retaining centralized identity, network access, and lifecycle control.
02
Trace the protected path
field data → governed edge Service Endlet → approved local processing → policy-controlled result path → grid-operations visibility
03
Review the decision
Determine whether the selected edge workload meets the utility's response and locality requirements without creating an unmanaged compute environment.
Outcome readiness
Define the systems and constraints for smart grid edge.
Give network, security, and operational teams one service path to review and one decision to make.
