Valider is used by fourteen of the larger Norwegian grid companies for metering dataData from electricity meters - the foundation for billing, balance settlement and market processes in the power market. validationThe first step in VEE - automated checks of metering data against technical and logical limits to detect obviously erroneous values.. The system is not traded on an open market - access requires ownership - which is why it rarely appears in vendor overviews or comparisons: you cannot simply buy it. For a grid companyCompany that owns and operates electricity grids and is responsible for power supply to end users. that already owns it, it is nonetheless a central part of the metering data chain, and any integration touching metering data has to deal with it.
