Energy grid device commissioning

A computing system comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the computer processor implements a method comprising:

• receiving, by said computer processor, a first message indicating details of a configuring process enabled by a power grid monitoring/control device, wherein said power grid monitoring/control device is associated with a power grid network topology comprising monitoring points associated with a power distribution grid;
• validating, by said computer processor in response to said receiving said first message, said power grid network topology with respect to configuration measurement types, event types, and controls performed by said power grid monitoring/control device with respect to said power distribution grid;
• generating, by said computer processor, a first mapping report associating said power grid monitoring/control device with said power grid network topology using network point identifiers for each of said monitoring points;
• registering, by said computer processor, said first mapping report;
• transforming, by said computer processor, said measurement types, said event types, and said controls to a specified industry standard;
• generating, by said computer processor, a results message indicating a success or failure of said transforming;
• generating, by said computer processor, measurement points associated with said network point identifiers;
• associating, by said computer processor, measurement types associated with said network point identifiers;
• first registering, by said computer processor, said power grid monitoring/control device with multiple grid events associated with various malfunctions within said power distribution grid;
• confirming, by said computer processor, said configuring, said validating, said registering, said associating, and said first registering;
• and
• commissioning, by said computer processor based on said confirming, said power grid monitoring/control device into said power distribution grid.

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing apparatus implements a method comprising:

• registering, by said computer processor, said first mapping report;
• transforming, by said computer processor, said measurement types, said event types, and said controls to a specified industry standard;
• generating, by said computer processor, a results message indicating a success or failure of said transforming;
• generating, by said computer processor, measurement points associated with said network point identifiers;
• associating, by said computer processor, measurement types associated with said network point identifiers;
• first registering, by said computer processor, said power grid monitoring/control device with multiple grid events associated with various malfunctions within said power distribution grid;
• confirming, by said computer processor, said configuring, said validating, said registering, said associating, and said first registering;
• and
• commissioning, by said computer processor based on said confirming, said power grid monitoring/control device into said power distribution grid.
