What it looks like
SPIRA in use
Key features
Installations and assets
One register for installations, equipment, owners and contacts - an overview of the grid infrastructure seen from the end customer's side. The installation is created first, with address, postcode, municipality and coordinates, and the metering point is placed on the installation. From there it is followed through the whole lifecycle, from first registration to final closure, with full history.
Metering points and data quality
EAN-18The 18-digit identifier that uniquely designates a metering point in the power market./GSRNGlobal Service Relation Number - the unique 18-digit identifier for each metering point in Elhub, based on the GS1 standard. identifier, Elhub channels, supplier history and annual energy, for every metering point type including submetering. Master data is validated automatically against regulatory requirements and business rules, and changes leave an audit trail.
Work orders
Creation, planning and execution, with meter swaps and componentA 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. installation as distinct steps in the order. Field workSystem for planning, assigning and following up work carried out in the field - meter changes, component installation and inspections. gets full traceability.
Elhub integration
Registration, activation and queries over BRS-NOElhub’s process specifications. Each BRS describes one market process step by step - who sends what, when, and what happens when something fails.-121, 122, 212, 302, 303, 402 and 701, so that communication with Elhub runs automatically. The same register is read over RESTRepresentational State Transfer - architectural style for APIs based on HTTP and resource-oriented design. APIs, documented in Swagger, by billing and other systems.
Meters and components
Stock levels, serial and communication numbers, installation and removal, and a component map. The meter fleet and component logistics are kept in one place.
Field service
Powercatch, Handyman and SpeedyCraft connect through webhookHTTP callback that sends data to external system in real-time upon an event. callbacks, so field service can be coordinated with external installers.
Inspections
Case handling with inspectors, deviations, owner lookups, documentation and photographs, integrated with CubitCompliance module for Norwegian grid companies that streamlines reporting and documentation to NVE and RME.. The inspection case is linked to the installation it concerns.
Cadastre and ownership data
Integration with Kartverket, the Norwegian mapping authority, with owner synchronisation, and lookups against Brreg, the Norwegian business register. Ownership data stays up to date automatically.
Authentication and access control
JWT-based sign-in, two-factor authentication with TOTP and SSOSingle Sign-On - authentication mechanism allowing users to authenticate once and access multiple systems. via Microsoft Entra IDMicrosoft's cloud-based identity and access management platform - formerly known as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)., with role-based access.
