MSCONS UN/EDIFACT standard for metering data exchange MSCONS: Metered Services Consumption Report Message EDIFACT: Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport Communication between business partners (metering and additional information) Well thought out fully automated Used in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Holland Germany: VDEW, Switzerland: VSE/ETRANS Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 6
Metering Point Name Necessary: Unique key to identify a metering point VDEW (Germany) created the 33 character metering point name Standard in Germany, Austria and Switzerland Used for MSCONS data exchange Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 7
Metering Point Name Building rules metering point name C H id name Country (2 char) Company ID (6 char and 5 char spare) Name (20 char) 33 character Example: CH10041012345CHAM-CHIP10000000000 Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 8
OBIS-Code (Object Identification System) European standard IEC 62056 Unique identifier for data within a metering equipment All kind of metering: electricity, gas, heating Abstract values Information at www.dlms.com Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 9
OBIS-Code Building rules OBIS-Code A- B: C. D. E *F A: media 1: electricity / 6: heat / 7: gas / 8: cold water, etc B: channel number 1: main-meter / 2: check-meter / 5: calculated meter Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 10
OBIS-Code Building rules OBIS-Code A- B: C. D. E *F C: data item 1: active power + / 4: reactive power D: type or result of physical quantities 9: time integral 2 / 29: time integral 5 Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 11
OBIS-Code Building rules OBIS-Code A- B: C. D. E *F E: further processing of quantities 0: without tariff / 1: high tariff / 2: low tariff F: storage of data / billing periods 255: not in use Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 12
EIC (ETSO Identification Code) To identify Parties: TSOs, traders, producers Areas: local grids, balance areas, control areas Metering points: cross border connections... Unit: generation or consumption EIC-X EIC-Y EIC-Z EIC-W EIC versus EAN EIC is cheaper EIC is under branch control Both are allowed by ETSO Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 13
EIC (ETSO Identification Code) Building rules EIC AA B name 16 character cc AA: number for issuing office assigned by ETSO 10: ETSO / 11: VDN / 12: ETRANS / etc B: type W: unit / X: party / Y: area / Z: metering point Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 14
EIC (ETSO Identification Code) Building rules EIC AA B name 16 character cc name 12 digits allocated by the issuing office in compliance with general and local rules cc: check character calculated with the other 15 characters by using algorithms Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 15
Human Readable Key? Advantages of a human readable key: Easy and understandable No translation table necessary Definable formation rules Example: CH10000012345CASPH-LFBG-EICHHARDS Disadvantages: Changes in firms (merges, names, etc.) Changes in structures (tie lines, substations) Smaller range of values / longer key necessary Example: CH1010001234500000000000000000343 Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 16
Experiences No general standard Historical/regional reasons for special codes Flexible systems are necessary Coordination needs a lot of time A lot of automating possibilities Identification and Standards for Energy Metering and Data Exchange, Adrian Fuchs, 21.09.2005 17
