Common Guidelines

Table of Contents

1. Data types

Following section contain more detailed information about certain data types used in this document.

1.1. Date Time

Date and time are expressed using the standard XML format for date and time: YYYY‑MM‑DDTHH:MM:ssZ, formatted using the universal time standard UTC by adding a 'Z' behind the time - like this: 2018-06-14T22:00:00Z. Where Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset.

In this document there are three types of date.

1.1.1. DateAndOrTime

This attribute is used for ACE Open Loop Point Value to support higher resolution than given by ESMP_DateTimeInterval in the timeInterval attribute for the Period.

Cardinality Name Attribute type Description

The time as "hh:mm:ss.sssZ", which conforms with ISO 8601.

0..1

dateTime

DateTime

Date and time as per ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ. This is used for ACE Open Loop Point Value

1.1.2. ESMP_DateTime

Cardinality Name Attribute type Description

1..1

value

DateTime

Expressed in UTC as YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ

1.1.3. ESMP_DateTimeInterval

Entso-e definition of ESMP_DateTimeInterval.

Cardinality Name Attribute type Description

1..1

start

YMDHM_DateTime

The start date and time of the interval with a minute resolution.

1..1

end

YMDHM_DateTime

The end date and time of the interval with a minute resolution.

Daylight saving time

  • In winter the period is from 23:00 UTC to 23:00 UTC

  • In summer the period is from 22:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC

  • On the date of the change from winter to summer time, the period is from 23:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC. This change occurs on the last Sunday in March at 01:00 UTC

  • On the date of the change from summer to winter time, the period is from 22:00 UTC to 23:00 UTC. This change occurs on the last Sunday in October at 01:00 UTC

1.2. mktPSRType

The identification of the type of resource associated with a TimeSeries. This is not in use but required by EnergyPrognosis_MarketDocument model.

Cardinality Name Attribute Description

|Name |Type |value |AssetTypeList

The coded type of a power system resource. Use B20 = Other

1.3. revisionNumber

The identification of the version that distinguishes one evolution of a document from another. The revision number is not used and shall always be equal to '1' [footnote].

Cardinality name Attribute type Description

1..1

revisionNumber

ESMPVersion_String

The revision number is not used and shall always be equal to '1'.

1.4. mRID

The document reference and Time series is given by the mRID, and must be unique and based on UUID.

Cardinality Name Attribute Description

1..1

value

String

A unique identification of the Time Series and the document being exchanged within a business process flow. Use UUID to make it unique.

2. Document identification and revision number

The document identification must be unique over time for the sender in question. Furthermore, the document identification shall be based on UUID. The revision number is not used and shall always be equal to '1'.

2.1. Update principles

In general, a new received document for a given period/area(s) will always completely replace a previous received document. Update of any time series within this period/area(s) is done by sending a new document honouring these rules

  • A new document mRID (document identification)

  • The same revision number (always equal to '1')

  • A newer created date-time

  • The same period/day and domain as for the data being updated

3. Curve types

Curve types and definitions. Curves and Time series are related to each other and is important to understand how to read and use these data. Detailed description about usage and reference to table below, is this ENTSOE document Timeseries-curve-types_v1r1.pdf

Code Title Example Description

5. Coding Schemes for Sender/Receiver, Domain, Resource identfications

If no description of which coding scheme to use, the default is always A01 which implies the use of EIC - The coding scheme is the Energy Identification Coding Scheme (EIC), maintained by ENTSO-E.

5.1. Sender and Receiver

  • A01 – EIC

Only exceptionally allowed:

  • A10 – GS1

  • NSE – Swedish national coding scheme

  • NFI – Finnish national coding scheme. It will be decided in the autumn 2021 whether NFI will still be supported.

5.2. Domain

BiddingZones

  • A01 – EIC

Control Area

  • A01 – EIC

Synchronous Area

  • A01 – EIC

5.3. Resource

Station groups:

  • NNO

  • NSE

  • NFI

  • NDK

6. Clarifications

This section intends to clarify definitions can be misinterpreted and thus can lead to incorrect implementation.

These are general principles and should be followed unless otherwise clarified

These definitions help us to remove certain uncertainties and to provide a common understanding of what the attributes will deliver.

6.1. Flow direction

If flowdDirection is supported in a schema then signed values must not be used, otherwise the following rules should be followed:

These are clarifications and principles we use for planned flow processes. These definitions help us to remove certain uncertainties and to provide a common understanding of what the attributes will deliver.

In/Out Domain Definition:

in_Domain.mRID

AreaID_String

The unique identification of the domain.

--- The area where the product is being delivered otherwise a negative value is given, then it is the extracted area.

out_Domain.mRID

AreaID_String

The unique identification of the domain.

--- The area where the product is being extracted delivered otherwise a negative value is given, then it is the delivered area.

7. Versions and CIM

In CIM (Common information Model) based schemas, version is always the last part in the namespace of the URN(Uniform Resource Name). In CIM this is named and represented like this,<Version>:<Release>, and according to the definition in w3.org, the CIM defined Version is equivalent to Major part in W3.org, and CIM defined Release to Minor part in W3.org.

7.1. Principle - Handling versions

A major version is not compliant to another major version, a minor version can be compliant to a similar or less/previous minor version. A minor version should be backward compliant to an earlier minor version. E.g. ReserveBid_MarketDocument version 7.4 will be compliant with 7.1 but not 6.9 or 8.0.

Reference:

  • Compliance definition according to Togaf Architecture compliance.

  • Version definition based on W3.org - Version : Extending and Versioning Languages Part.

7.2. Example

If highest version of Activation_MarketDocument is 6.3, then all less or equal to minor versions within a major version are legal to use.

8. Quality flag

Some data exchanges support the quality attribute in conjunction with a quantity usually. These codes are based on standard enum types given by Entsoe. NBM has added description to fit the purpose.

Quality flag is associated to schemas that support the Quality attribute.

Colors used in the rightmost column are linked to Status message, and must not be mixed with quality attribute. It is connected a reason code which is explained here, Status Information, and indicate a kind of severity of a service.

ACE OL is calculated but result can not be guaranteed. The data is based on insecure input data or som less significant input data is missing.

A forecast that cannot be trusted. Important input values are missing or uncertain, and are not replaced with reasonable input values

9. Harmonized Products definitions

Due to a change request for Flows, where we should not aggregate values but use separate Flows for each product. To support this we must uniquely identify these products and assign product codes for this purpose. Product codes are provided by NMEG and will be added to this list on an ongoing basis as we get values from NMEG.In the CIM document, the product code value will be used in the Reason code field without additional text support.

9.1. Generic Harmonized Code list for "Products"

This is a guide on how to implement and support combinations of supportive power components, which are different types of HVDC contributions.

To specify a contribution of HVDC power, select a corresponding business code(see list below), then select a reason code and specify out- and inDomain to specify which cable/area it used for.

Following table contains allowed Business codes:

Business Code Short Name Description

Supportive Power Components

Z91

Comment to the Business/Reason codes above:
Z92-ASP is an actual supportive power component, it can be a part of the Z91-Loop transit, therefore we distinguish these two codes.
B67/B68 is a part of the Day-ahead result. In absence of the Day-ahead result, an estimated Day-ahead flow with reason code Z69-Shadow Auction be used as a backup.

The following matrix can then be set up:

9.3. How to specify who ordered

If needed in the future, this is how to indicate which TSO needed the ASP.
The TSO who placed the order is the TSO that needs help with a possible imbalance.
This can be given by in Schedule_MarketDocument by the attributes, in_MarketParticipant.mRID or out_MarketParticipant.mRID.

NOTE

In future it will be preferred using PlannedResourceSchedule_MarketDocument schema. The attributes will be more descriptive for the purpose, the attribute acquiring_Domain.mRID used to indicate which TSO ordered. FlowDirection.direction indicate the direction of energy flow.

A01

Message fully accepted

The message has been fully accepted for application processing.

A02

Message fully rejected

No part of the message has been accepted for application processing, e.g. Global position incomplete.

A03

Message contains errors at the time series level

Part of the message contents, i.e. certain time series, has been accepted for application processing. It is necessary to look at the time series level to determine the time series that have been rejected. The time series is excluded from the global position.

A04

Time interval incorrect

The schedule time interval is not within the contractual agreement or the period does not agree with the schedule time interval.

A05

Sender without valid contract

The sender has no current valid contract with the TSO. The message consequently will be fully rejected.

A06

Schedule accepted

The schedule of the recipient as presented has been completely accepted.

A07

Schedule partially accepted

The schedule of the recipient as presented has been partially accepted. It is necessary to look at the time series level to determine the changes (time series rejected, modified, etc.).

A08

Schedule rejected

The schedule of the recipient as presented has been totally rejected. The cause could be the non presentation of a counter part for the involved trades.

A09

Time series not matching

Time series mismatches.

12. Architecture Principles

Subject to changes

See principle guide below in the appendix (last part) [Architecture_Principles]

12.1. Harmonized Common language

It is important to have a common language to be able to exchange consistent and harmonized data between the Nordic TSOs.

Exchanging data between TSOs must use Common Information Model (CIM) for Energy Markets(IEC CIM 62325).

Use of a common language, with easy access to open resources (ENTSOE/NBM) which contain predefined schemas and documents that unambiguously describe the data to be exchanged. This simplifies and ensures harmonized data to be exchange between the Nordic TSOs.

The use of a common harmonized language will be new to some developers, but still necessary for us to be able to "talk" to other TSOs in Europe. The standardization work takes some time, but can be reused for similar artifacts within NBM and local TSOs.

12.2. Sharing and Reuse of Data

One datasource / data exchange can be used for several purposes.

Data should be provided in a generic way, so it can be used for different purposes and not one specific solution. In other words if a consumer need aggregated data, they should aggregate already available data.

This wil solve several futures usages of same data object, and it will help and support agile processes within the project/program. A second benefit is that this reduces the need of many similar data exchanges, less data to transfer.

Nordic Balancing Model (NBM), is the overall driver for what each TSO must implement in its local system to support the major NBM business process.

12.3. Align work to MARI

NBM work should be aligned to similar work done in MARI.

NBM should strive to reuse codes and schemas according to the work done in MARI, some discrepancies can be done to fit the NBM purpose.

Reusing similar data exchanges make less work when transitioning to a new platform for the Activation Optimization Function (AOF), MARI.

Less development. It requires gap analysis, and since MARI is work in progress it might require us to do future changes.
