MDM Certification Flashcards
1) Choose three scenarios where Dynamic Option can be applied
- The utility has a program that credits customers for conservation during critical peak periods (CPP)
- The utility has a program where customers can optionally participate in demand response (DR) programs:
- A consumer receives a credit for consumption during a CPP event that is lower than their “normal” consumption
2) On what zone does work list icon appears
- Map
- Explorer
- Standalone
- Query
3) Where is Service Provider associated
- Device Type
- Device Configuration Type
- Usage Subscription Type
- Service Point Type
4) how to communicate with external system?
Usage Subscription/Service Provider
5) Give two primary definition for Usage Transactions
- Push for bill determinants from the subscribing systems
- Pull for bill determinants to the subscribing systems
6) Choose three calculation types of Apply Math Usage Rule
- Single Value
- Math Function
- Mathematical Expression
7) What best describes TOU Map Template SPI
A TOU template’s interval size (SPI) controls the values allowed in the Start and End Times
A template can be used to generate TOU data for TOU maps whose SPI divides evenly into the template’s SPI
8) A scenario wherein TOU data should be generated. Where holiday consumption should be categorized as Off-Peak regardless of the day it falls on :
- Add work Calendar in the TOU Map Template and mark Holiday as off-peak
- Edit TOU Map Template to mark Holiday as “off-peak”
Add work Calendar in the TOU Map Template and mark Holiday as off-peak
9) If TOU Map template is described as “controls the values allowed in the Start and End Times
A template can be used to generate TOU data for TOU maps whose SPI divides evenly into the template’s SPI”.
Choose the best choice on what possible TOU data will be generated by the TOU Map template with 60 SPI value [verified In fundamentals TOU Map]
Choices
- TOU Map template can only generate 60 minute TOU data
- TOU Map template can generate 60 minutes TOU data and 120 minutes TOU data
- TOU Map template can generate 60 minutes TOU data and 1440 minutes TOU data
- TOU Map template can generate 60 minute, 30 minute, 15 minute, 5 minute TOU data
TOU Map template can generate 60 minute, 30 minute, 15 minute, 5 minute TOU data
10) Consider a rate that has different prices depending on:
a. The season of the year (winter, spring, summer, fall)
b. The time of day (peak, off-peak, shoulder)
c. The actual temperature as compared to the historic average (normal, hotter, colder)
How many TOU codes need to be set-up? [Verified on Fundamentals TOU Map]
This rate would require 36 TOU codes (4 seasons * 3 time of days * 3 temperature bands)
11) When is consumption aggregated? (Choose 4)
- The system periodically aggregates consumption in batch (using a deferred monitor on the aggregator MCs)
- Users can re-aggregate real-time if they can’t wait or if the original aggregation needs to be redone due to incorrect admin or master data
- Users can create ad hoc aggregations “on the fly” and these will persist in the database
- Aggregation typically lags the current date by a few days to give the system time to upload and VEE the consumption; the amount of lag time is configured by the implementation
- Aggregation is always performed through a given “through time” (e.g., 12am) rather than through the time of aggregation
The incorrect choice is “Users can create ad hoc aggregations “on the fly” and these will NOT persist in the database“
12) There would be plenty of Head-End system to be used by MDM. All with Manufacturer XYZ but models may be different for each Head-End System. Which option should be taken in order for the implementation team to minimize future enhancement?
Model Number
13) Which measuring component type should reference a device configuration Choices: - Physical - Standalone - Scratchpad - Aggregator
Physical
14) Which item below best describes the goal for selecting ‘Maximum’ as the comparison method for the High/Low validation rule?
Choices:
- To identify intervals with suspiciously high usage relative to surrounding intervals.
- To identify if a configurable percentage of missing measurements exceeds the specified percentage.
- The rule compares the Average Daily Usage of the current Initial Measurement Data with the Average Daily Usage for historical measurements.
- The rule compares the Peak Usage of the current Initial Measurement Data with the Peak Usage for historical measurements.
The rule compares the Peak Usage of the current Initial Measurement Data with the Peak Usage for historical measurements.
15) Which validation rule calculates the difference between the highest interval and the third highest interval to determine the percent difference between the two?
Choices:
- High/Low Validation
- SPI Check
- Interval Spike Check
- Raise Missing Quantity
- High/Low Validation and Interval Spike Check
Interval Spike Check
