The Reliable Net Access Management System for Gas System Operators Print E-mail
NZMThe SOPTIM NZM supports the central tasks of feed-out system operators. In this SOPTIM NZM considers the procedures according to GABi and GeLi required by the German Federal Network Agency and comprehensively applies the standard load profile of the Münchner Modell. Daily applications and nominations are core tasks of SOPTIM NZM.

 

 

Allocation according to GABi

Based on the actual usage imported from the remote meter reading, the collected temperature and gross calorific value data and based on the standard load profile according to the Münchner Modell SOPTIM NZM allocates energy quantities for the feed-out system.



Nomination According to GABi

The data aggregated according to the rules (d-1/d+1) specified in GABi are sent to balancing group operators per market area and supplier daily and automatedly.



Net Access and Change of Suppliers According to GeLi-Gas

SOPTIM NZM manages and processes the change of supplier from the point of view of the feed-out system operator. In compliance with the specifications of the German Federal Network Agency the process of change is conducted according to GeLi-Gas in the various EDIFACT-formats (ALOCAT, UTILMD, CONTRL, APERAK, MSCONS). The creation and dispatch of customer lists, and the processing of surplus/shortage quantities calculations round off the range of services in this area.



Customer Value and Reserves

For each net access SOPTIM NZM determines and manages the customer value required in the application of the SLP procedure and the reserve power.



Communication and Exchange of Data

For the processing of communication with partners in the market and the data exchange processes that go with it SOPTIM NZM is linked to SOPTIM EDI on database level. All communication processes and their parameterizing and logging are routed centrally over this EDIFACT server.



Integration

For integration into billing systems SOPTIM NZM's integrated import/export of contact data provides the basis for a variable processing of the required exchange of master data. Also, solutions can be built using the market interfaces (UTILMD) or direct connections to billing systems, even to balance several hundred thousands of metering points.

 

SOPTIM NZM is client-capable.
