• Forecast calculations become more and more important for modern TSO’s
• Actual used methods are no more adequate for guaranteeing the security on future Electrical Grids
• More dynamic and flexible studies needed
• More (continuous) intraday dynamic calculations needed between D-1 and Real-time
• More correct and continuously updated data needed during the complete forecasting cycle
• Access to the correct data becomes critical
• More and more platforms appear (TSC CTSS, 20’s, CWE CS, Entso-e PowerSystem DB…….)
Purpose - EDEX:
Standardization
•EDEX wants to provide interface specifications basic functionality and best practices to the Energy world to :
•Create a standardized platform to transmit ENTSO-e messages and process them :
• CIM Messages
• Market Messages
• Any binary Message
Purpose - EDEX:
Components
•ECP : Energy Communication Platform
MADES compliant External communication platform
•EPP : Energy Process Platform
Central Process handler and integrator
•Client Toolbox
Decentralised process handler and local integrator
EDEX:
MADES (Market Data Exchange Standard)
What for?
• Harmonization of a communication software for the European electricity (or energy) market, including the following services:
- guarantee of delivery- electronic signature- uniform method for data encryption
• Defines the platform used for external communication

Components - ECP
• ECP, (Energy Communication Platform),
• Reference package for MADES standard
• ECP was developed by CWE TSO’s
• Transfer of the ownership of ECP to Entso-e on-going
• Licenses for all TSO’s available
• Already used by 13 TSO’s
Components - ECP
Components – EPP Message Processing
• EPP, (Energy Process Platform),
• Based on Open Source Components (JBoss)
• EPP was developed by CWE TSO’s for the MC CS
• Availability of licenses for all TSO’s on-going
• Uses a canonical model
• ESB, Process Orchestrator, Message Validators
• ECP integrated for external communication
• Standardized interfaces for functional modules and data containers

Next Step – Client Toolbox
Next Step : Client Toolbox
• Message Validation (CIM, Market….)
• Standardised Interfaces
• Distributed calculations – so less need for model transfers
• Can run as standalone system
• Intelligent data gathering provided as a Service
• Data Security and confidentiality :
• On the Communication via ECP
• Owner of data decides who has access
• Local Data Storage for models with subscription service
