This process is commonly /known as VEE. Not all the data reads that are coming from the Head-End will be available in 15-minute increments, and it is the job of MDMS to fill those data gaps through either interpolation or extrapolation and by relying often on historical information as one of their many algorithm inputs. After VEE process, MDMS generate a billing file and pass it to the LCIS Billing system for the billing.

MDMS also passing the VEE’d data to the AMS ODS, which AMS ODS will pass it to the REP for retail billing, and ERCOT for settlement and end-customer access.

Command Center (CC): Command Center Application is used to collect RF Meter reading from collector and pass it to MDMS System. Command center is the application responsible for interacting with Meter inbound or outbound.

Command center is a part of AMS (Advance Metering System). CC is the gateway application, which interacts with Collectors for the meter information.
