Master data exchange

Metering point for accounting totals:

• Zur Zählpunktbildung: Ziffer 4.2.3. MaBiS: "...Die Zählpunktbezeichnungen sind gemäß dem BDEW-Dokument "MeteringCode 2006" (Ausgabe Mai 2008) zu bilden; derzeit noch nicht MeteringCode-konforme Zählpunktbezeichnungen sind, sofern erforderlich, entsprechend anzupassen..." ...Falls ausnahmsweise eine virtuelle Zählpunktbezeichnung nicht vom Netzbetreiber, sondern von einem anderen Marktpartner (z.B. Lieferant) festgelegt wird, kann eine alternative Bildungslogik angewendet werden."
• This looks like this:

The following types of time series can be activated by balancing group managers (BKVs) within the framework of the master data activation:

Scope of activation: 

For each balancing group, at least the following billing time series are always activated by the associated BKV:

• BAS = balancing group deviation net total (a metering point with two OBIS identifiers for identifying the debit balance and underfunding of the balancing group)
• FPI = schedule feed-in summary (import into the balancing group)
• FPE = schedule feed-out summary (export from the balancing group)
• In existing sub-balancing group agreements through two BKVs, the BKV of the accounting balancing group also receives the BAS of the associated sub-balancing group.

The following accounting sums are only activated as needed:

• DZR = delta time series
• SRE = transmission time series for secondary balancing power (export from the provider balancing group to the TSO balancing group)
• SRI = transmission time series for secondary balancing power (import into the provider balancing group from the TSO balancing group) 

Metering points for balancing group totals

Scope of activation: this transmits the metering points for the DSO’s balancing group totals successfully activated with the BIKO. The activating DSO is responsible for the accuracy. Errors in the balancing group allocation must therefore be clarified bilaterally between the DSO and BKV.

Transaction data exchange

Scope of delivery: on the one hand, the time series for the DSO balancing group totals successfully processed by the BIKO are transmitted. The sending DSO is responsible for accuracy. Errors must therefore be clarified bilaterally between the DSO and BKV. On the other hand, the BIKO transmits the corresponding accounting sums on the billing deadline dates.
