The purpose of the Utility Communications Architecture (UCA) Specification is to specify a suite of internationally recognized open communication protocols that meet the communication requirements of the electric utility industry. The specification document provides a standard reference for the development and/or acquisition of UCA compliant communication systems, equipment, and services. The specification has been developed during the course of the UCA project. The project is a part of the larger Integrated Utility Communications (IUC) program initiated by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) with the intention of promoting interoperability between computer systems supplied to the electric utility industry. In initiating and promoting the work, EPRI has been providing education to the electric utility industry users on the UCA, and has been disseminating information to the vendor community about the industry's commitment to adopting the UCA as a strategic direction. The specification document will further promote the UCA by providing a procurement tool for users and a clear specification for manufacturers on which to base strategic product development.
