Interface concept for an energy data management system

EHA is responding to the dynamic changes in the liberalized electricity market by, among other things, expanding its range of services to include supply via “grid usage”. This results in new challenges for EHA – “specialists for chain stores”. For example, EHA handles the registration for grid usage for its customers, i.e. it ensures that the customer is supplied by the grid operator. For this purpose, all relevant data is exchanged between EHA and the grid operator and a grid usage contract is concluded. EHA uses historical and planning data to forecast the energy consumption for each of its grid usage customers. This activity is referred to as “timetable management”. Up to this point, all the necessary data on customers and their contracts through to physical meters had been managed in an in-house developed company-wide application and associated database. This application is the leading system for all applications and systems at EHA. To support and improve its business processes in the area of grid usage, EHA has opted for standard software for energy data management (EDM). The entire timetable management will therefore be carried out with the help of the EDM software in future.
