Meter Data Collector (MDC)

2.2 Subject and scope of the contract

Even before Swissgrid was founded, meters on the boundaries of the Swiss transmission grid were read using a MDC (meter data collector). Since 2014 the MDC has been integrated into Swissgrid's central energy data management system (EDM). The meter data read out results are written directly into the EDM database. Plausibility checks and aggregations are performed in a separate module. The existing processes and job systems are designed for daily processing. Once Swissgrid reads meters, processes must be fully automated and completed within 15 minutes. The resulting values are used as a basis for forecasting effective energy loss. In order to increase speed, the MDC is to be detached from the existing system and needs to be equipped with additional functions. In order to replace the old solution and introduce a new one, Swissgrid is looking for a partner to support the implementation and operation of the solution.
