Schema Reference Overview

ODS-E defines a minimal, interoperable contract for energy asset data exchange.

The schema is split into three complementary surfaces:

energy-timeseries: operational records for generation, consumption, and net flows
asset-metadata: context for assets, sites, and building characteristics
erp-enrichment: maintenance history, spare parts inventory, procurement context, failure taxonomy, and alarm frequency analytics sourced from ERP/EAM and SCADA systems

Design Principles

Keep required fields small and stable
Normalize the highest-friction OEM differences (timestamps, energy semantics, error states)
Preserve optional room for richer domain context without breaking interoperability

Start with Energy Timeseries for record-level requirements.
Add Asset Metadata for benchmarking, segmentation, and integration use cases.
See Grid Capacity / Connection Status for GCAR and grid access lifecycle fields.
Use Inverter API Access to operationalize OEM onboarding and transform verification.
Add ERP Enrichment Schemas for maintenance, inventory, procurement, and alarm frequency analytics.
Run Schema Validation before using records in analytics.
