Introducing SAP Cloud for Utilities Foundation, Measurement Concept Management

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to apply the elements of SAP Cloud for Utilities Foundation, Measurement Concept Management.

Introduction

To demonstrate the Energy Transition, the consequences of which we would like to discuss through this lesson, here we have some facts and figures that serve to illustrate what is happening.

For an example

As of 2021, 89% of potential residential households for photovoltaic installations are not feeding in yet.
E-Mobility vehicles are expected to grow from 516 K to 11 M from 2021 until 2030.
Smart home market is expected to grow from 5,4 B to 9,3 B from 2021 until 2025***

And as a result If this we can see a some significant changes, such as the ones listed here on the right side:

Strong growth of small, decentralized generation and consumption units
Huge need for automated, highly scalable processes to manage this complexity
New product offerings are needed to support advanced use cases and reduce customer churn

Note

The following figure refers only to the German Market slide.

Infographic about Germany's energy potential and needs. On the left, four points: Germany could have the highest rate of prosumers in the EU but is greatly unused; the government plans for 15 million electric cars by 2030; the smart home market is expected to grow from 8.1 to 11.5 billion from 2024 to 2028; geopolitical developments speed up the energy transition to renewables. On the right, three points: 1) Strong growth of small, decentralized generation and consumption units, 2) High need for automated, scalable processes to manage complexity, 3) New products needed to support advanced use cases and reduce customer churn.

Infographic on €1 trillion investment in distributed energy resources by 2030. Sections include: Installed Capacity with a total of 1,182 GW anticipated by 2030; Solar Panels expected to provide residential PV capacity for 100 million houses by 2030; Storage installations predicted to grow 15 times from 2022 to 2030; Behind the Meter with 600 million heat pumps projected by 2030; E-mobility with electric vehicles to grow 21 times from 2020 to 2030. Global-level data is referenced.

Measurement concept management (MCM) enables the utilities industry to manage the increasing complexity and lifecycle operations of metered installations in a world of distributed energy resources.

What is Measurement Concept Management all about?

Measurement Concept Management enables the utilities industry to manage the increasing complexity and lifecycle operations of metered installations in a world of distributed energy resources. In its core, this solution enables customers to manage, streamline and unify processes around installations including decentralized energy resources throughout their whole lifecycle, from creation to their final shutdown.

When we speak about metered installations, we refer to the prosumer type of assets, such as, solar panels, batteries, smart meters for consumption and production, heat pumps, EV chargers, and others.
