NL The new GLDPM process: PVNED is the first party to go live!
PVNED faced the challenge of modernising and redesigning its entire IT ecosystem with data management as the primary platform for future growth.
Business Goals
PVNED is a fast-growing, independent service provider in the Dutch and Belgian energy market, which supplies electricity suppliers and producers, industrial bulk consumers and balance and network operators with affordable electricity. They do this by maintaining balance, buying and selling, benchmarking, forecasting and pooling.
Integration Challenges
Following strong growth of the organisation, PVNED's standard energy data management system was no longer sufficient to provide a good overview of the available data. This created the need to modernise and redesign the entire IT ecosystem with data management as the primary platform for future growth.
How eMagiz helps
PVNED took up this project and realized more than 80 integrations with eMagiz as integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). Together with Partner CAPE Group, the integrations and the new customer portal were delivered simultaneously. "The first sprint included the transport, transformation and validation of measurement data between the back-end system and the customer portal. The second sprint added several integrations with customers and third parties to centralize external messages" said Remco de Kruijk (data analyst at PVNED).
PVNED had already explored various frameworks to make their integration architecture transparent; an iPaaS fit perfectly into PVNED's strategy to implement a sound IT strategy that fit the principles of a Serice Oriented Architecture. CAPE Group assisted PVNED in creating a scalable and future-proof integration architecture. In addition, a pilot was launched with one of PVNED's strategic customers. An innovative concept for optimizing energy and cost reduction through real-time information was explored.
Future plans
“At an early stage, TenneT asked PVNED to cooperate in the” Transparency 4 XML “pilot project. It stipulates that the current EDINE protocol will be replaced by SOAP / XML. By using eMagiz, it was therefore very easy for PVNED to connect to TenneT. This is partly due to the simple way in which security standards such as TLS / SSL and WS-security can be applied in the eMagiz platform. The access to the backend systems of PVNED was also easy to achieve with this. As a result, it was not necessary for PVNED to invest in the renewal of these “legacy systems”, and they could still be used for message traffic with TenneT, “said Remco de Kruijk.
GLDPM stands for “Generation Load Data Provisioning Methodology” and replaces the old EDINE process “Transport Prognose”. The use of eMagiz was an essential part of this. Parallel to this PVNED started in the “Scheduling Task Force” team. This lays the foundation for the replacement of the old “E-program” process. PVNED expects that the methodology used for GLDPM will be reused in the links with TenneT.

"It is good to see that we can combine real-time information with our domain knowledge and thus create an innovative concept for our customers"
