Metering grid area (MGA)

  • MGA

  • Grid (area)

An area of electricity grid managed by a distribution system operator that contains metering points (accounting points, exchange points and production units). A metering grid area is delimited by individual exchange points. Imbalance settlement is performed on the metering grid area level.

Metering grid area end time

 

Time until which the metering grid area is valid

Validity is needed in data processing and for storing history data.

The DSO notifies

Metering grid area identification

 

ID uniquely specifying one of the DSO's metering grid areas

ID used for uniquely identifying a metering grid area

The DSO notifies

Metering grid area name

 

Metering grid area name

Imbalance settlement

Datahub maintains the information provided by the DSO

Metering grid area start time

 

The start time of the MGA’s validity

Validity is needed in data processing and for storing history data.

The DSO notifies

Metering grid area type

 

Type specifying the purpose of the metering grid area

Type information required by NBS for imbalance settlement

 

Balance information

 

Information related to an accounting point that indicates the electricity supplier responsible for balance and balance deviations during a given time period. For the purposes of balance deviation correction, the balance information also includes hourly metering data for that period.

Balance information end time

 

Day until which the consumption/production at the accounting point is included in the balance sheet of the supplier linked to the balance information

Information used and reported in imbalance settlement and imbalance correction.

 

Balance information start time

 

The time when the consumption/production at the accounting point was first included in the balance sheet of the supplier linked to the balance information

Information used and reported in imbalance settlement and imbalance correction.

 

Exchange point

 

A point on the border between two metering grid areas at which the transmission of electricity between these grids is metered or otherwise specified.

Electricity transmission direction

 

Information about the direction electricity can be transferred on an exchange point or whether electricity can be transferred to both directions

Used in monitoring of metering data reports.

The DSO notifies

Exchange point end time

 

Time until which the exchange point is valid

Validity is needed in data processing and for storing history data.

The DSO notifies

Exchange point identification

 

ID uniquely identifying the exchange point

Information uniquely identifying the exchange point / imbalance settlement

The DSO notifies

Exchange point start time

 

The start time of the exchange point’s validity

Imbalance settlement connection

 

Conceptual data that links imbalance settlement time series to related structural data (such as the metering grid area).

Imbalance settlement method

 

The imbalance settlement method indicates whether the time series data is based on data that is metered or specified in some other manner, in other words, profiled data.

Market balance area

Bidding area

A geographical area for which the electricity market defines a common price for each moment in time (i.e. a price time series). Market balance area consists of metering grid areas.

Market balance area end time

 

Time until which the market balance area is valid.

Validity is needed in data processing and for storing history data.
