A smart grid for improving the management of a power utility grid is provided. The smart grid as presently disclosed includes using sensors in various portions of the power utility grid, using communications and computing technology, such as additional bus structures, to upgrade an electric power grid so that it can operate more efficiently and reliably and support additional services to consumers. The smart grid may include distributed intelligence in the power utility grid (separate from the control center intelligence) including devices that generate data in different sections of the grid, analyze the generated data, and automatically modify the operation of a section of the power grid.

Method and system for managing a power grid

A user interface, or a component of a user interface, is deployed as a service in a services oriented architecture for use, for example, in a data integration platform.

User interface service for a services oriented architecture in a data integration platform

Services such as product services, real-time services, and common services are deployed in a services oriented architecture. These services may, for example, be deployed for use in a variety of enterprise data integration functions.

Data integration through a services oriented architecture

A transformation function of an extract-transform-load data integration process is deployed as a service in a services oriented architecture. A method includes providing a module for a data integration function, the module being a data transformation module; providing a registry of services; providing an interface for the data transformation module; and identifying the data transformation module in the registry; wherein the data transformation module can be accessed as a service in a services oriented architecture. A system includes a data transformation module for a data integration function; a registry of services; and an interface for the data transformation module; wherein the data transformation module is identified in the registry; and wherein the data transformation module can be accessed as a service in a services oriented architecture.

A method and apparatus for transporting data for a data warehousing application. Data is extracted from one or more source containing data having a standard data structure and is translated into data that contains meaningful business terms. The translated data is then stored. In the present embodiment, an analytic business component is operable for extracting data from the source, translating the extracted data and for storing the translated data into a staging area. The translated data is then processed to obtain data having a common structure. In the present embodiment, a source adapter processes the translated data to obtain data having a common structure. The data having a common structure is then transformed into a format suitable for loading into a data mart. In the present embodiment, an analytic data interface receives the data having a common structure and transforms the data for loading into a data warehouse. The data is then stored in a data warehouse.
