Mapping of feed-in and customer systems in the master data system
Project duration: 3 years
Brief description
The business processes, technical objects, and contract structures required for mapping the feed-in and customer systems are analyzed and implemented in the master data system of an energy handler.
Supplement
The customer’s current central master data application is based on a three-layer, service-oriented architecture (.Net-based thin client, application server, MS SQL 2008). Further development of the application will map the technical objects and new contract types for feeding in and for customer systems Moreover, the processes for pricing and calculating the costs or payments for feed-in meter points are implemented to create discounts and invoices, which are considered in both supplier invoicing and customer invoicing. The interfaces integrated in the system landscape are adapted to transfer the master data to the connected applications.
Subject description
The mapping of sub-systems to higher level systems in the master data system essentially involves the introduction of two types of sub-system, feed-in and customer systems. The feed-in system can also be created without a higher level system and is primarily used for the generation of electricity and feeding it into the public distribution network. In the system landscape of the customer, technical systems are regarded as feed-in systems, if they can serve this purpose under the terms of the legal regulations (subsidies). However, electricity from renewable energies can also be immediately consumed at the place where it is generated. Maintenance of data relating to the feed-in and mapping of the associated processes are required to create the preconditions for direct marketing of the electronic energy in accordance with the market premium model. A customer system is a system located within a plant that is supplied with energy, such as a backer in a discount supermarket.
