Introduction This document defines a YANG data model for Power and Energy Monitoring and control of devices within or connected to communication networks, for the use cases document in [I-D.ietf-green-use-cases-00]. The data model includes both the monitoring and control of Energy Objects for networked devices. This YANG data model is based on the the "GREEN framework" [I-D.belmq-green-framework-06], following the "GREEN terminology" [I-D.ietf-green-terminology-00]. Power and Energy Monitoring and Control can be applied to devices in communication networks. All identifiable devices with measurable or representable Power and Energy characteristics fall within the scope of this specification. Target devices include (but are not limited to) routers, switches, Power over Ethernet (PoE) endpoints, smart PDU, storage and compute servers, etc. Benoit, et al. Expires 7 August 2026 [Page 2] Internet-Draft GREEN-PEM-YANG February 2026 Where applicable, device monitoring extends to the components of the device as well as software and service running on the device. As a result, the metrics to be monitored include Device Level Energy Efficiency (DLEE), Component Level Energy Efficiency (CLEE) and potential Service Level Energy Efficiency (SLEE) at the orchestrator- level, etc. For example, a router can contain components such as Line Processing Unit (LPU), Switch Fabric Unit (SFU), Main Processing Unit (MPU). 1.1. Terminology This document makes use of the terms defined in [I-D.ietf-green-terminology-00]: - Power - Energy - Energy Management - Energy Monitoring - Energy Control - Energy Efficiency/Energy Efficiency Ratio - Device Level Energy Efficiency (DLEE) - Component Level Energy Efficiency (CLEE) - Service Level Energy Efficiency (SLEE) This document makes use of the terms defined in [I-D.belmq-green-framework-06] - Energy Object The terms reused from [I-D.ietf-green-terminology-00] and [I-D.belmq-green-framework-06] are capitalized in this specification. This document uses the terms Power and Energy in accordance with [I-D.ietf-green-terminology-00]. Power refers to the instantaneous rate at which a device consumes or produces electrical energy (typically expressed in Watts). Energy, by contrast, represents the cumulative amount of work performed over time (typically expressed in Joules or Watt-hours). Both concepts are required within this YANG module. Power enables real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of device operation, while Energy provides a time- integrated view necessary for accounting, reporting, and even for sustainability analysis. This specification includes both Power and Energy attributes. The terminology for describing YANG modules is defined in [RFC7950]. The meanings of the symbols in the YANG tree diagrams are defined in [RFC8340]. Benoit, et al. Expires 7 August 2026 [Page 3] Internet-Draft GREEN-PEM-YANG February 2026 2. The GREEN Framework The "GREEN framework" described in [I-D.belmq-green-framework-06] covers monitoring and controlling devices and components where monitoring includes measuring Power, Energy, demand and attributes of Power. For the whole picture of the monitoring interfaces and the relevant requirements, please refer to "GREEN reference model" in section 4 in [I-D.belmq-green-framework-06]. 3. Power and Energy Data Model The Power and Energy Data Model reports the Power and Energy consumption of each Energy Object as well as the units, sign, measurement accuracy, etc. A containment tree view of the Power and Energy Monitoring is presented. module: ietf-power-and-energy +--ro energy-objects +--ro energy-entry* [object-id] +--ro object-id string +--ro source-component-id? -> /hw:hardware/component/name +--ro power | +--ro instantaneous-power int32 | +--ro nameplate-power? uint32 | +--ro unit-multiplier identityref | +--ro data-source-accuracy? identityref | +--ro power-factor? power-factor | +--ro measurement-local? boolean +--ro energy +--ro total-energy-consumed? uint64 +--ro total-energy-delivered? uint64 +--ro unit-multiplier? identityref +--ro data-source-accuracy? identityref +--ro measurement-local? boolean 4. Relationship to the Hardware YANG Data Model The ietf-hardware YANG module [RFC8348] is required by the Power and Energy YANG module. In the ietf-hardware YANG model, there are three identifiers for hardware components, which are "name", "physical- index" and "uuid". Among them, "name" is the key to "List of components", "physical-index" matches entPhysicalIndex in the legacy Entity MIB [RFC6933] if it exists, and UUID is the Universally Unified IDentifier [RFC4122] of the component. Benoit, et al. Expires 7 August 2026 [Page 4] Internet-Draft GREEN-PEM-YANG February 2026 In the Power and Energy YANG Module defined in this specification, there is a leaf named "source-component-id" which refers to the component name in the ietf-hardware model. The "source-component-id" can in turn reuse the UUID in the ietf-hardware YANG module. The mapping between energy-object entries in this YANG Module and the hardware-components in ietf-hardware YANG module [RFC8348] is designed to be 1:1, architecturally aligning each energy-entry with exactly one physical hardware component via source-component-id. There are also cases where the controllers also generate its own set of UUIDs for the hardware (components). In such a case, it might be necessary to document the mappings between the UUIDs generated on the hardware side and the UUIDs on the controller side. Basically, the devices (such as routers) generate the UUID and the controller can query it. The ietf-hardware YANG module [RFC8348] allows to discover all the device components, including the containment tree, and the parent/ child relationship, which is important for energy/power aggregation (see the contains-child relationship in RFC 8348). 5. Relationship to the EMAN Work The EMAN IETF Working Group (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/eman/ about/) is a concluded Working Group that produces a couple of RFCs in the domain of Power and Energy. The Working Group produced MIB modules for monitoring and control for power and energy, for the context information, for battery monitoring, and an extension to the ENITY-MIB to add the UUID definition [RFC6933]. For various reasons, those MIB modules were not implemented by vendors. The Power and Energy data model defined in this specification use the Monitoring and Control MIB for Power and Energy [RFC7460] as a starting point to discuss the solution to the different use cases in [I-D.ietf-green-use-cases-00]. However, it has not been the goal to simply map the MIB module to a YANG module. The changes compared to the EMAN MIB modules are mainly due to the alignment with the up-to-date requirements of the network carriers on Energy Efficiency. Compared to the MIB modules, some definitions and types are optimized, some new Energy Objects are added and some legacy Energy Objects are removed accordingly. Benoit, et al.

This identity serves as the root for a hierarchy of accuracy types, allowing for extensibility while maintaining alignment with current and future industry standards. The hierarchy, as defined in this YANG module, is as follows. Other modules may extend this hierarchy with additional accuracy base- and sub-types as needed. data-source-accuracy ├── accuracy-like-parent ├── accuracy-unknown │ └── accuracy-unavailable ├── accuracy-estimated │ ├── accuracy-static │ ├── accuracy-historic │ └── accuracy-learned └── accuracy-measured ├── accuracy-measured-bronze │ ├── accuracy-measured-bronze-1 │ ├── accuracy-measured-bronze-10 │ ├── accuracy-measured-bronze-100 │ └── accuracy-measured-bronze-1000 ├── accuracy-measured-silver │ └── accuracy-measured-silver-... ├── accuracy-measured-gold │ └── accuracy-measured-gold-... ├── accuracy-measured-red │ └── accuracy-measured-red-... └── accuracy-measured-ones The accuracy levels under accuracy-measured are based on percent-wise accuracy classes: bronze: +/- 30% silver: +/- 10% gold: +/- 5% red: +/- 2% In addition, the accuracy-measured-ones identity indicates a power data measurement with all digits valid, except trailing zeros. Benoit, et al. Expires 7 August 2026 [Page 7] Internet-Draft GREEN-PEM-YANG February 2026 Since percent-wise accuracy works poorly for very small values, standards such as IEC 62053, IEC 61850-7-4 and IEEE 1451 define accuracy classes based on a combination of percent-wise accuracy and absolute accuracy thresholds. E.g. +/-1 % of reading + +/-0.05 absolute units. Similarly, for each percent-wise accuracy class, this module defines a few absolute tolerance classes, indicated by suffixes to the accuracy identity names. The suffixes indicate absolute accuracy thresholds: no suffix: +/-0.5 absolute units -1: +/-1 absolute unit -10: +/-10 absolute units -100: +/-100 absolute units -1000: +/-1000 absolute units Thus, for example, accuracy-measured-gold-10 indicates a power data measurement with an accuracy of either +/-5% or +/-10 absolute units, whichever is larger. For example, a power sensor reading might report a value of 16250, with unit multiplier of milli (10^-3), under accuracy-measured-gold-10. This indicates that the actual power value is between 16.2375 and 16.2625 Watts, since 5% of 16.250 Watts is 0.8125 Watts, which is greater than the absolute threshold of 10 milliwatts (0.010 W). At another time, the same sensor might report a value of 150, with unit multiplier of milli (10^-3), under accuracy-measured-gold-10. This indicates that the actual power value is between 0.140 and 0.160 Watts, since 5% of 0.150 Watts is only 0.0075 Watts, which is less than the absolute threshold of 10 milliwatts (0.010 W)."; } identity accuracy-unknown { base data-source-accuracy; description "The accuracy of the power data is unknown."; } identity accuracy-unavailable { base accuracy-unknown; description "A power data is not available for some reason, such as a sensor failure or a component being powered off."; } identity accuracy-like-parent { base data-source-accuracy; description "The accuracy of the power/energy data is the same as this energy Benoit, et al.

Operators must use the data-source-accuracy identities (e.g., accuracy-measured-bronze vs. accuracy-estimated) to weight data reliability carefully before aggregating Power (instantaneous-power) and Energy (total-energy-consumed and/or total- energy-delivered) values to avoid skewing Device-Level Energy Efficiency (DLEE) metrics. Operators might not always be interested to get the individual component accuracy. What counts is the device level or domain level, identity accuracy-like-parent is introduced to meet their demands. From an implementation point of view, to facilitate data collection and aggregation on runtime and avoid post-aggregation data confidence interval issues, operators and implementers should use as much as possible this accuracy-like-parent identity. YANG Push support eliminates device-side bucket storage by streaming energy telemetry directly to controller-side via subscriptions. Operators must verify the 'yang-push' bundle is enabled and validate push-max-operational limits accommodate all component subscriptions, preventing notification flooding while avoiding memory overhead on the device. 8. Security Considerations This section will be completed once the YANG module is complete, according to https://wiki.ietf.org/group/ops/yang-security- guidelines. This section is modeled after the template described in Section 3.7.1 of [RFC-to-be draft-ietf-netmod-rfc8407bis]. The Power and Energy YANG module defines a data model that is designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. These YANG-based management protocols (1) have to use a secure transport layer (e.g., SSH [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and QUIC [RFC9000]) and (2) have to use mutual authentication. The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.
