Further development of metering point operation 2016
Project duration: 1 year
Brief description
Further development of the system integration of a meter data management (MDM) system from the company Görlitz (IDSpecto) to map the business processes required for metering point operation for the relevant department of an energy trader for the electricity and gas commodity types (in 2016).
Supplement
IDSpecto is a standard software with a modular structure for the integrated recording and evaluation of meter data with a high level of process automation. The fundamental business processes (remote meter reading, plausibility check, automated transfer to common data exchange formats) are represented, including equipment management. The core module IDSpecto.engine is used for the DB management of master and transaction data. IDSpecto is based on an MS .NET server platform with an Oracle or MS SQL Server DB (in the MS SQL Server DB project). Integration of the MDM system into the system landscape requires further developments of the implemented interfaces and applications which carry master data. Points to emphasize are the further development of the interface introduced in 2015 for automatic sending of load profile data or meter readings based on defined market processes such as additional data requests or device changes as well as the changeover of the EDIFACT format MSCONS to version 2.2f and 2.2g.
Subject description
With a view to opening up metrology, the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) has created reliable framework conditions that are compatible with high-volume business for those involved in carrying out metrology. The standardization of business processes and contracts should enable rapid and efficient cooperation, especially between network operators, measurement service providers (MSP), and metering point operators (MPO) for the operation of metering points and for the gathering, processing, and distribution of the relevant measurement information. The enactment has been effective for the market participants since October 1, 2011. Initially the customer adopted metering point operation for those of its consumers already supplied with energy (power/Germany) and now performs the measurement service without supplying energy. The customer assumes both roles, MPO and MSP, in the market and the associated market communications.
