Component that acts as entry point for API traffic - handles authentication, rate limiting, and routing to backend services.
A replaceable part inside a fixed asset. It has its own age, its own history and its own service life - independent of the asset it sits in.
Shared library of reusable UI components - ensures consistency and reduces duplication in interface development.
A maintenance tactic: continuously monitor a component's condition and intervene when the data shows a deviation - not on a fixed calendar. What FRAMSYN does in practice.
Architecture principle where system components communicate via events rather than direct calls - increases loose coupling and scalability.
System for planning, assigning and following up work carried out in the field - meter changes, component installation and inspections.
Tvimenning’s tool for condition-based maintenance: raises work orders from how the component is actually doing, not from how old it is.
A unique id that follows a component for its entire lifetime, across every system it appears in. The technical term for it is UUID.
The component of electricity customers' bills that covers grid rental - regulated by NVE.
NVE's framework for grid tariff calculation - contains fixed, energy, and capacity components to fairly distribute grid costs and encourage balanced consumption.
Tvimenning’s closed, non-commercial marketplace where energy companies share preparedness resources between themselves - components such as transformers, cables and smart meters, and contact points for response crews.
Development approach using visual tools and pre-built components - reduces the need for manual code writing.
Architecture or design principle where systems are built from independent, interchangeable components.
Software architecture where all components are compiled and deployed together as one unit.
The system holding the grid's electrical topology - which components connect to which, and how. Not to be confused with the NIS2 directive, which is something else entirely.
Tariff component based on customer's maximum power consumption - part of new grid fee model to incentivize more even consumption.
Methodology for determining maintenance needs from a component's actual condition and failure mode, not a fixed calendar. The basis for FRAMSYN's maintenance orders.
Reference designation system per ISO/IEC 81346. Gives every component in a facility one unambiguous designation that holds for its whole life.
JavaScript library from Meta for building component-based user interfaces.
Tvimenning's component register for electrical installations - providing structure and traceability for the components installations are built from.
