Definition
Ediel is the Norwegian standard for electronic data exchange between actors in the electricity market - grid companies, power suppliers, BRPs, and ElhubNational hub for metering data and market processes in the Norwegian electricity market.. The messages are based on UN/EDIFACTElectronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport - UN standard for electronic data exchange. syntax wrapped in SOAPSimple Object Access Protocol - XML-based messaging protocol used in enterprise integrations, including Elhub. envelopes and sent over HTTPS. Ediel covers all central market processes: supplier switching (E01/E02), grid connectionThe process of connecting a new facility to the electricity grid and registering it as a metering point in Elhub. and disconnection (E03), metering dataData from electricity meters - the foundation for billing, balance settlement and market processes in the power market. exchange (RSMThe Ediel message family covering metering data and settlement. Where the E-messages handle customer and grid processes, the RSM messages carry the actual meter values.), balance settlementFinancial settlement between BRPs and the system operator for energy imbalances in a given period., and profile information. Each message format is precisely specified with validationThe first step in VEE - automated checks of metering data against technical and logical limits to detect obviously erroneous values. rules, response messages, and deadline sequences - an error in a single field can cause Elhub to reject the entire message. Ediel implementation is one of the technically demanding parts of working with Elhub: one must handle EDIFACT parsing, XMLExtensible Markup Language - universal markup language for structured data, standard in Elhub's Ediel messages. schema validation, SOAP envelopes, and state-machine logic for message sequences.
