Energy
Data Management (EDM)
Purpose
You use this business scenario to map the processes of new market rules for different countries (German Associations’ Agreement, EMG, ElWOG (Austrian Electricity Act), and so on). This business scenario is particularly useful for managing and processing profiles (load shapes, load profiles, stock market prices, and so on). You can also process the business and technical master data and the related processes, such as the change of supplier. Energy Data Management covers the following areas:
· Energy Data Repository
The Energy Data Repository is a central, company-wide database where you can store all of a company’s energy-related data. This mainly refers to data that can be entered in constant time intervals (for example, measured values every 15, 30, or 60 minutes). However, you can also store meter readings in the database.
· Settlement and Schedule Management
Distributors can carry out settlement for suppliers that make up part of their total load. Energy Data Management includes the synthetic and analytical procedures as standard inh accordance with the German Associations’ Agreement (VVII). These functions also form the basis for determining overtake and undertake amounts as well as for subsequent billing by the distributor. Suppliers can use Energy Data Management to automate the creation and sending of schedules, for example.
· Billing Profiles
You can bill profiles (measured load shapes, for example) using Real Time Pricing. You can execute billing for all contract types that refer to the profile data. For example:
¡ Energy supply
¡ Grid usage
¡ Billing overtake and undertake amounts
¡ Settlement
