First step to standardise

the link between

the Smart Metering Infrastructure

and the Utilities’ IT software

On October the 8^th the NEN workgroup, consisting of representatives of all the Dutch network operators, representatives of Dutch and European industry partners in Smart Metering and metering related IT solutions and ESNA, approved the content of the NTA 8150.

In this “common Dutch Technical Note” the workgroup unanimously reached a common understanding in the protocol for the communication between the Smart Meter / Smart Grid infrastructure and the different enterprise software applications running within the ICT environment of the utilities.

This NTA 8150 allow all different Smart Metering infrastructures and communication protocols, existing and those who are under development to communicate via the same interface with the IT world of the DSO’s and utilities.
