Market Communication 2020: Timetable Management

PTA supervises the implementation of the guidelines through the specifications within the framework of the Market Communication 2020 by the Federal Network Agency. This affects the electronic exchange of messages via e-mail between the transmission system operators and the balancing group managers. The guidelines stipulate that the XML messages must be signed as of 1 October 2019 and transmitted signed and encrypted as of 1 July 2020. The requirements for signing and encryption via certificates correspond to those already defined for market communication for the transmission of EDIFACT messages (see project 4722). The tasks of PTA here include the development of a solution strategy in the environment of the energy trading systems IRM and PSI markets and the control of the implementation on the basis of the platform EDICom. For the monitoring of the business-critical transmission of the timetable data, monitoring is performed using the tools Zabbix and Grafana.
