Q

Your client has the following requirements:

Many customers are installing their own solar electrical generation equipment. When these customers generate more electricity than required for their own use, the surplus can he exported back to the power grid.

In order to measure this generation, we have installed special scalar devices. These devices have separate registers to measure the energy generated (export) and the energy received (import) from the National Grid.

b) Create one new measuring component type for creating two measuring components (one for import and the other for export) that will be linked to one scalar device.
c) Create one new measuring component type for creating a new measuring component that will be linked to two different scalar devices (one for import and the other for export).
d) Create two new measuring component types (one for subtractive import and the other for consumptive export) to enable the creation of two measuring components that will be linked to one scalar device.

Critical validation rules verify the integrity of the initial measurement data (IMD). If an implementation needs to add new critical validations, where would you configure them?

a) as new lifecycle algorithms on the IMD Seeder BO (D1-IMDSeeder)
b) in the pre-processing algorithm of the IMD Seeder BO (Dl-IMDSeeder)
c) as options on the IMD Seeder BO (D1-IMDSeeder)
d) in the schema of the IMD Seeder BO (D1-IMDSeeder)
e) in the validation algorithm on the IMD Seeder BO (D1-IMDSeeder)
