• Forecast calculations become more and more important for modern TSO’s

• Actual used methods are no more adequate for guaranteeing the security on future Electrical Grids

• More dynamic and flexible studies needed

• More (continuous) intraday dynamic calculations needed between D-1 and Real-time

• More correct and continuously updated data needed during the complete forecasting cycle

• Access to the correct data becomes critical

• More and more platforms appear (TSC CTSS, 20’s, CWE CS, Entso-e PowerSystem DB…….)

Purpose - EDEX:

Standardization

•EDEX wants to provide interface specifications basic functionality and best practices to the Energy world to :

•Create a standardized platform to transmit ENTSO-e messages and process them :

• CIM Messages

• Market Messages

• Any binary Message

Purpose - EDEX:

Components

•ECP : Energy Communication Platform

MADES compliant External communication platform

•EPP : Energy Process Platform

Central Process handler and integrator

•Client Toolbox

Decentralised process handler and local integrator

EDEX:

MADES (Market Data Exchange Standard)

What for?

• Harmonization of a communication software for the European electricity (or energy) market, including the following services:

- guarantee of delivery- electronic signature- uniform method for data encryption

• Defines the platform used for external communication

Components - ECP

• ECP, (Energy Communication Platform),

• Reference package for MADES standard

• ECP was developed by CWE TSO’s

• Transfer of the ownership of ECP to Entso-e on-going

• Licenses for all TSO’s available

• Already used by 13 TSO’s

Components - ECP

Components – EPP Message Processing

• EPP, (Energy Process Platform),

• Based on Open Source Components (JBoss)

• EPP was developed by CWE TSO’s for the MC CS

• Availability of licenses for all TSO’s on-going

• Uses a canonical model

• ESB, Process Orchestrator, Message Validators

• ECP integrated for external communication

• Standardized interfaces for functional modules and data containers

Next Step – Client Toolbox

Next Step : Client Toolbox

• Message Validation (CIM, Market….)

• Standardised Interfaces

• Distributed calculations – so less need for model transfers

• Can run as standalone system

• Intelligent data gathering provided as a Service

• Data Security and confidentiality :

• On the Communication via ECP

• Owner of data decides who has access

• Local Data Storage for models with subscription service
