Description

Temporal reconciliation

The balance responsibility allocation process is made up of two separate processes that are carried out one after the other:

The "imbalance process" is used to estimate Balance Responsible Party imbalances using consumption and generation data provided by the Distribution System Operators for each Balance Responsible Party before the index meters are read.

It is used to invoice Balance Responsible Parties between M+1 and M+12.

The temporal reconciliation in question is for correcting the distribution grid perimeters after the index meters have been read.

It is used to invoice Balance Responsible Parties in Y+1 and Y+2.

The data download service

The service is aimed at Balance Responsible Entities and can be used by any duly authorised user to download the following data:

• Estimated consumption load curve for each Balance Responsible Party (C01T)
• Estimated generation load curve for each Balance Responsible Party (C02T)
• Remotely-read consumption load curve for each Balance Responsible Party (C03T)
• Remotely-read generation load curve for each Balance Responsible Party (C04T)
• Losses Load Curve (C05T) - (data with an application date from 01 July 2023)
• National Calibration Coefficient (C12T)
• The Balance Responsible Party statement correction load curve (C30T) - curve available up to RT16 (data with an application date prior to 30 June 2020)
• Power loss Standardisation Coefficient (CnP) – associated with the C12T in export 
• The Balance Responsible Party's estimated calibrated consumption standardisation coefficient (CN) – associated with the C12T in export 

Curves C01T to C05T will be made available on the 15th day of the month M+14. Before the end of October in year Y+2, RTE provides clients with the annual period running from July of Year Y to June of year Y+1, curves C12T and C30T and CnP and CN data for the whole annual period.

The data will be provided in 30-minute intervals and logged over a sliding three-year period.

Export your data

You can download up to 32 days’ worth of your data. However the download period will have to be reduced if your data scope is large.

The exported data is in UTC time (two hours behind French time in the summer and one hour behind in the winter) and will be for the period that you have selected in the filter.

Data is exported in .CSV format and can be viewed using Microsoft Excel.

Note

The “Download Distribution Grid data in the temporal reconciliation phase” service is also available from the Data Portal via the BIG BRE Reconciliation API.
