Import Spot Price¶

Case description¶

Official spot price data is normally imported automatically into the ETMP application.
However, in certain situations, such as technical issues, delays in data publication, or temporary communication problems, the import may not be completed successfully.
The ETMP application continues trying to retrieve the data for up to one hour after the official release time.
If the data is still unavailable after this period, the user can manually enter the Official spot price values, allowing the ETMP application to continue operating correctly.

Solution¶

Open the Prices screen and select the relevant date.
In the Energy tab, click Edit Values.
Enter the missing Official price values for each required 15-minute interval.
All available fields must be completed until the end of the selected day. Partial entry is not allowed.
Click Save.
Review the confirmation message and click Yes, save all values to confirm the manual entry.
After confirmation, the entered values cannot be edited or reverted.

Export Capacity bids¶

Case description¶

Export Capacity bids functionality is intended as a backup procedure in situations where the connection between the ETMP application and the ECP/EDX platform is unavailable or not working correctly.
If Capacity bids cannot be exchanged automatically due to the connection issue, users can export the Capacity bid groups and continue the process manually.

Solution¶

Open the Bids and Activities screen, select the Capacity tab, and configure the required Capacity options (product, transmission area, regulation direction, and delivery date).
Open the Capacity options menu and select Export all capacity bids.
Confirm the operation by clicking Yes.
Wait until the export process starts successfully.

Import Capacity bids¶

Case description¶

Import Capacity bids functionality is intended as a backup procedure in situations where the results from the TSO cannot be processed automatically (e.g. due to missing results, delayed publication, or communication issues).
Users can import an Excel (.xls) file downloaded from the Nordic MMS platform to continue the Capacity bidding process manually.

Solution¶

Open the Bids and Activities screen, select the Capacity tab, and configure the required Capacity options (product, transmission area, regulation direction, and delivery date).
Open the Capacity options menu and select Import Capacity bids.
Choose whether to Import All Bids or Import Valid Bids Only.
Select the .xls file downloaded from the Nordic MMS platform.
Confirm the import and wait until the process is completed.

Create unit schedule manually¶

Case description¶

Create unit schedule manually is intended for situations when a unit schedule needs to be created manually for Today or Tomorrow.
This functionality is particularly useful when the assets still need to operate, but the planning and bidding deadlines have already passed.
A unit schedule is created for a single unit by defining the required time interval, power (MW) and, where applicable, the TSO product.
Additional schedules for the same unit can be created by repeating the process for a different time interval.

Solution¶

Open the Schedules screen and navigate to the Unit schedule tab.
Select the required plant and date (Today or Tomorrow).
Click Create schedule.
Select the required unit from the drop-down list.
Define the required time interval and enter the power (MW).
Select the TSO product, where applicable.
Click Add.
Repeat the process to create additional schedules for the same or another unit, if needed.

Administrator control / Regenerate unit schedules¶

Case description¶

Regenerate all schedules is intended as a backup procedure in rare cases, such as system outages or similar events, when unit schedules need to be regenerated manually.
It can also be used when Power Exchange results have already been published, but unit schedules have not been generated for the won bids.
The operation regenerates unit schedules for all units within the selected country for Tomorrow.

Solution¶

Open the Settings screen and navigate to the Administrator control tab.
Open the Schedules section and select the required country.
Select Regenerate all schedules.
Click Regenerate.
Confirm the operation by clicking Yes.
Additional information about the operation is available in the Logs screen.

Administrator control / Synchronize schedules for all plants¶

Case description¶

Synchronize schedules is intended as a backup procedure in rare cases when unit schedules already exist in the ETMP application but need to be synchronized with external systems.
The operation sends the existing unit schedules for all plants to external systems (e.g. Holtec, claVis or Asti) to ensure all systems contain the same schedule data.
Synchronization is performed for all plants within the selected country for Today and Tomorrow.

Solution¶

Open the Settings screen and navigate to the Administrator control tab.
Open the Schedules section and select the required country.
Select Synchronize schedules for all plants.
Select the required communication type from the drop-down list.
Click Synchronize.
Confirm the operation by clicking Yes.

The operation sends the existing unit schedules for the selected plant to external systems (e.g. Holtec, claVis or Asti) to ensure all systems contain the same schedule data.
Synchronization is performed for the selected plant within the selected country for Today and Tomorrow.

Solution¶

Open the Settings screen and navigate to the Administrator control tab.
Open the Schedules section and select the required country.
Select Synchronize schedules by plant.
Select the required plant from the drop-down list.

Administrator control / Override state¶

Case description¶

Override state is intended as a backup procedure in rare cases, such as system outages or similar events, when the bidding process needs to be retried.
Unlike the Export Capacity bids workaround, the operation allows the bidding process to continue within the ETMP application by updating the states of bids for the selected product.
The operation updates the selected product to the required state, allowing the bidding process to continue from the appropriate stage.
Override state is performed on a country level and affects bids for Tomorrow.

Solution¶

Open the Settings screen and navigate to the Administrator control tab.
Open the Override state section and select the required country.
Click the Override bids state published_with_changes icon for the selected product.
Confirm the operation by clicking Yes.
