Standards for measuring instruments used in trade, such as electricity meters. Approved instruments will have passed specific conformity assessment procedures and have MID markings which allow the instruments to be used in any EU member state.

Eu Mid

Specifies minimum technical requirements for electricity meters being used for settlement by Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) parties. CoP 11 specifically for asset metering in a secondary BMU

Uk Cop 11

Transposes MID into UK law. Baseline requirements for asset participation in DSR.

Uk Mir

Criteria that an electrical appliance needs to meet in order to perform and be classified as an energy smart appliance (ESA)

Uk Pas 1878

Common definition of demand side response (DSR) services for actors operating within the consumer energy supply chain

Uk Pas 1879

Specifies minimum requirements for EV charge points

Uk Smart Charging Regs

A 1985 act defining regulation of units of weight and measurement, including measurements of electricity

Uk Weights And Measures 1985

ApprovedAssetStandards

Collection of webhooks which we can use to control a particular asset, should a bid including
this asset be accepted.

Control of assets can be either via individual AssetControllers or the main webhook.

Webhook for retrieving current power of asset in kw. Will be called with GET. We will use a Bearer token of your choice to authenticate when calling this endpoint. 

Get Level Webhook

Webhook for setting level. Will be called with a POST request containing keys `level` and `callback_url`. We will use a Bearer token of your choice to authenticate when calling this endpoint.

Availability

Expected kwh of flexibility available until asset becomes unavailable. If, for instance, the asset has a charge limit of 50kwh and a current SOC of 25kwh, then the kwh_available would be 25.

Kwh Available

Maximum available kW (at the end of the time period). This value is equivalent to the power of the asset if all available turn up is performed. This value should be positive when referring to import and negative when referring to export.

Max Power Kw

Minimum available kW (at the end of the time period). This value is equivalent to the power of the asset if all available turn down is performed. This value should be positive when referring to import and negative when referring to export.

Min Power Kw

Period End

Update an existing assets properties or controller.

Note that to update availability you should use the POST /availability route

Update asset

Add to an existing asset availability's, including power and
energy readings.

This can be used to provide historical data, or your own forecasts.

Note that there is no deduplication here. If you post a new availability
update for a timepoint for which we already have an availability record,
we'll use the latest one, but the original one will not be overwritten.

Update asset availability

based upon known constraints such as existing schedules.

Get forecast demand for portfolio

Based on the current demand forecast for a given portfolio, return the optimal set of positions given prices
on the specified market.

Returns suggested positions, along with appropriate market (day ahead or continuous, based upon the selected time
period)

Add an asset to the active pool for a market

Register asset to pool

Get probabilistic forecasts of availability for this pool, describing
the available flexibility at varying probabilities.

Get pool availabilty

Returns the optimal set of bids for a given pool for the next `time_horizon_hours`, accounting
for uncertainty in flex availability.
