Structure data is the backbone of the settlement calculations. Market participants are required to submit structure data to eSett

• eSett is dependent on a correct baseline of structure (standing) data to be able to perform a correct imbalance settlement

• Due to higher granularity in the imbalance settlement eSett is not able to only collect standing data from the TSOs, hence eSett will be dependent on structure data updates from all market participants

• eSett will during summer and autumn 2015 input basic data to the new balance settlement system (Basse)

Structure data – The background

Structure data will be collected and verified in a step-wise approach with verifications and quality checks

• The first round of structure data will focus on importing:• TSO information

• MBAs• MGAs• Regulation Objects• Reserves

• Basic market participant data• Communication IDs• Main contacts• Administrator for Online Service• Limited amount of market relations

Testing


17

Testing will be done both towards testing platforms (messages) and towards the sub-sytems of Basse

• In order to verify both the functionality of the new XML-messages as well as the functionality of the sub-systems of Basse and the market participants readiness testing will be done prior to go-live

• Testing of the new xml-messages will be performed on a specific portal

• Testing towards the sub-systems of Basse will be performed directly towards eSett

Testing in general

18

Initial portal tests for market participants and system vendors

• A testing portal for the new XML-messages for the Finnish market participants will be provided by Fingrid

• Testing will be made available before the operational test run starts in October

Testing portal for the new XML messages

19

Testing of the new settlement system will be performed in three distinct steps to gain insights and finalize the system before go-live

User Acceptance Tests

• By eSett

• Ensure the functioning of Balance Settlement Solution (Basse)

• First half of 2015

Testing Partner Tests

• By Selected Testing Partners

• Ensure that Market Participants with different roles can operate with Basse

• Kick-off in November 2014

• First half of 2015

Operational Test Run

• By All Market Participants

• Ensure the company specific readiness for the Nordic Imbalance Settlement

• Starting in October 2015

• Shadow settlement

• Parallel operations

Step-wise approach to testing

20

The scope of the OTR is focused towards the subsystems of Basse and their integrations towards the market participants systems

Testing towards the Basse subsystems

The objective is to test the market participant capabilities with focus on:

Online Service (ONLS) the essential day-to-day activities from the market participant perspective

Messaging Service (MS) market role specific information transfer via market messages – to submit and receive

required and preferred information from eSett

Information Service (IS) testing of the market role specific information to be requested and received through the

information service

21

Shadow settlement will be performed during the OTR. the objective is to perform imbalance settlement for a restricted period of time

Shadow settlement

• During the Operational Test Run one week of shadow settlement will be performed. Shadow settlement means that market participants will send settlement data to eSett and eSett will perform a settlement calculation based on received data.

• Shadow settlement is performed in order to verify quality and correct operation of the settlement system (Basse), the market participant’s systems and processes.

• Shadow settlement will be performed for the whole imbalance settlement process scope, simulating operations after go-live in all countries.

• The shadow settlement period will be performed based on settlement data from the full week 39, 2015.

• Market participants will report this data during weeks 46 & 47 (9/11-22/11 2015

• eSett will perform the settlement calculations during week 48 (23/11-27/11 2015) and present the results of the calculations to each market participant respectively

22

Parallel reporting will be enabled one month prior to go-live

Parallel reporting

• Finnish market participants will be able to submit their settlement data to eSett 1 month prior to go-live.

• Imbalance settlement procedures and calculations will during this period be performed by both Fingrid’s and eSett’s settlement systems

• This is the possibility to fine tune the integration towards Basse
