Summary:The problems encountered in transferring the technology of
external R&D projects on the energy management systems (EMS) at
Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation are addressed. The need for a
general-purpose external applications support interface to an EMS is
argued, and an attempt is made to define the requirements for such an
interface, eliminating the recurring need for modifying the EMS software
to accommodate external products. The interface would provide
transparent access to external applications by the EMS and vice versa as
well as the ability to initiate program execution in the peer system.
The transparency of access encompasses transparency of data location,
data structure, and data organization. These objectives suggest the
possibility of a two-component interface, where the communications
component handles request and data interpretation
