Select the operational scope
One field gateway, a representative sensor or DER data flow, and one control or cloud service.
Utilities
Smart grid edge · Evaluation
Evaluate smart grid edge against agreed evidence.
One field gateway, a representative sensor or DER data flow, and one control or cloud service.
Primary capability
Endlet
Evaluation plan
Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.
Process selected grid data near its source while retaining centralized identity, network access, and lifecycle control.
02
Verify the technical path
Have representatives from grid modernization, field engineering, network operations, OT security review the architecture path and policy boundaries.
03
Review the decision evidence
Determine whether the selected edge workload meets the utility's response and locality requirements without creating an unmanaged compute environment.
Acceptance criteria
Define success with observable evidence and a decision.
Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.
01
The evaluation includes one edge location, an approved workload, representative field data, and a defined result consumer.
02
Grid-operations, OT, analytics, platform, and security owners confirm the workload identity, data-locality rule, and service path.
03
The team records Endlet and workload identity, input locality, processing time, result delivery, resource use, and policy events.
04
The results show whether the workload meets the agreed response and locality requirements under centralized policy.
Operational outcome
Process selected grid data near its source while retaining centralized identity, network access, and lifecycle control.
Evaluation scope
One field gateway, a representative sensor or DER data flow, and one control or cloud service.
Decision
Determine whether the selected edge workload meets the utility's response and locality requirements without creating an unmanaged compute environment.
