     1. Introduction
     
        Within Energy Management there are terms that may seem
        obvious to a casual reader but in fact require a rigorous
        and sourced definition.  To avoid any confusion in terms
        among the working group drafts, one glossary / lexicon of
        terms should exist that all drafts can refer to. This will
        avoid a review of terms multiplied across drafts.
     
        This draft will contain a glossary of definitions of terms
        that can be agreed upon by the working group outside of the
        context of drafts and then included in or sourced to this
        draft.
     
        Each term will contain a definition(s), a normative or
        informative reference, an optional example, an optional
        comment(s) listed a note(s).
     
        All terms should be rooted with a well-known reference. If
        a definition is taken verbatim from a reference then the
        source is listed in square brackets. If a definition is
        derived from a well-known reference then the source is
        listed as "Adapted from" with the reference listed in
        square brackets. If a defined term is newly defined here
        the reference will indicate as such by stating "herein" and
        if applicable list any composing terms from this document.
     
        The terms are listing in an order that aids in reading
        where terms may build off a previous term as opposed to an
        alphabetical ordering. Some terms that are common in
        electrical engineering or that describe common physical
        items use a lower case notation.
     
     2. Terminology
     
        $ Energy Management
          Energy Management is a set of functions for measuring,
          modeling, planning, and optimizing networks to ensure
     
     
     Claise et al.           Expires March 19, 2014       [Page 3]


     Internet-Draft      draft-parello-eman-definitions  October 2013
     
          that the network and network attached devices use energy
          efficiently and appropriately for the nature of the
          application and the cost constraints of the organization.
     
          Reference: Adapted from [ITU-T-M-3400]
     
          NOTES:
          1. Energy management refers to the activities, methods,
          procedures and tools that pertain to measuring, modeling,
          planning, controlling and optimizing the use of energy in
          networked systems [NMF].
     
          2. Energy Management is a management domain which is
          congruent to any of the FCAPS areas of management in the
          ISO/OSI Network Management Model [TMN]. Energy Management
          for communication networks and attached devices is a
          subset or part of an organization's greater Energy
          Management Policies.
     
        $ Energy Management System (EnMS)
          An Energy Management System is a combination of hardware
          and software used to administer a network with the
          primary purpose of energy management.
     
          Reference: Adapted from [1037C]
     
          NOTES:
          1. An Energy Management System according to [ISO50001]
          (ISO-EnMS) is a set of systems or procedures upon which
          organizations can develop and implement an energy policy,
          set targets, action plans and take into account legal
          requirements related to energy use.  An ISO-EnMS allows
          organizations to improve energy performance and
          demonstrate conformity to requirements, standards, and/or
          legal requirements.
     
          2. Example ISO-EnMS:  Company A defines a set of policies
          and procedures indicating there should exist multiple
          computerized systems that will poll energy from their
          meters and pricing / source data from their local
          utility. Company A specifies that their CFO should
          collect information and summarize it quarterly to be sent
          to an accounting firm to produce carbon accounting
          reporting as required by their local government.
     
          3. For the purposes of EMAN, the definition from [1037C]
          is the preferred meaning of an Energy Management System
          (EnMS). The definition from [ISO50001] can be referred to
          as ISO Energy Management System (ISO-EnMS).

          Reference: [IEEE100]
     
          NOTES:
          1. While IEEE100 defines demand in kilo measurements, for
          EMAN we use watts with any suitable metric prefix.
     
          NOTES
          1. Energy is the capacity of a system to produce external
          activity or perform work [ISO50001]
     
        $ provide energy
          A device (or component) "provides" energy to another
          device if there is an energy flow from this device to the
          other one.
     
        $ receive energy

        $ Power Interface
          A power inlet, outlet, or both.
     
        $ Nameplate Power
          The Nameplate Power is the nominal Power of a device as
          specified by the device manufacturer.
     
        $ Power Attributes
          Measurements of the electrical current, voltage, phase
          and frequencies at a given point in an electrical power
          system.
          Reference: Adapted from [IEC60050]
     
          NOTES:
          1. Power Attributes are not intended to be judgmental
          with respect to a reference or technical value and are
          independent of any usage context.
     
        $ Power Quality
          Characteristics of the electrical current, voltage, phase
          and frequencies at a given point in an electric power
          system, evaluated against a set of reference technical
          parameters. These parameters might, in some cases, relate
          to the compatibility between electricity supplied in an
          electric power system and the loads connected to that
          electric power system.
     
          Reference: [IEC60050]
     
          NOTES:
          1. Electrical characteristics representing power quality
          information are typically required by customer facility
          energy management systems. It is not intended to satisfy
          the detailed requirements of power quality monitoring.
          Standards typically also give ranges of allowed values;
          the information attributes are the raw measurements, not
          the "yes/no" determination by the various standards.

          referred to as having a Power Source Relationship.
     
        $ Metering Relationship
          A Metering Relationship is an Energy Object Relationship
          where one Energy Object measures power, energy, demand or
