In the spring of 2022, the Estonian TSO Elering contracted us to improve its Meter Data Management (MDM) system. The challenge there was to extend the already existing functionalities in the operator’s MDM gas and electricity systems as well as to make new developments that could secure an overall improvement of both systems.

We extended the already existing functionalities in the operator’s MDM gas and electricity systems: 

• collecting all energy metering data from Elering’s automatic meter reading system;
• obtaining energy metering and other relevant data from external systems;
• managing meter data and client data;
• aggregating data on losses, aggregated consumption/production, etc. according to tariff methodologies and other business needs
• forwarding metering and aggregated data to other systems (e.g. Estonian Data Hub, Elering resource planning system, Elering client portal, Elering balance management system, neighboring TSOs’ systems)

At the same time, planned developments include:

• analysis and implementation of a reporting tool such as PowerBi or Kibana for displaying and analyzing MDM data;
• new calculations and aggregations of metering data based on new business needs created by changes in a tariff system, in the addition of new services, etc.;
• updates and adjustments to existing functionality
