01
Establish identity and scope
Identify substation or field data sources, edge compute host, Service Endlet, approved workload; validate participating Endlets before admission.
Utilities
Smart grid edge · Architecture
Map the service path 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
How it works
Trace the protected service path from admission to evidence.
Process selected grid data near its source while retaining centralized identity, network access, and lifecycle control.
02
Build the protected service path
field data → governed edge Service Endlet → approved local processing → policy-controlled result path → grid-operations visibility
03
Capture decision evidence
Review identity and validation state, route admission, segmentation, telemetry, service delivery with the responsible teams.
Architecture flow
Trace the protected service path and its control points.
