What data we need to participate, and how to send it
We need two kinds of data to participate in a market:
Operational metering always comes from the asset we’re optimising. Settlement metering can also come from the asset (known as asset-metering), but in many markets we’re required to obtain readings from the site boundary meter (boundary-metering). Axle can obtain boundary meter data for consenting households if you don’t already have access to it.
In cases where we use asset metering, we may have to pass additional qualification checks to confirm that the metering provided by the asset is sufficiently accurate.
Market | Asset Metering Allowed? |
---|---|
DNO Flex | Yes |
Capacity Market | Yes (1.5% accuracy) |
DFS | Yes |
Wholesale | Yes (CoP11 required) |
The kind of telemetry we gather varies by asset.
Axle can obtain boundary meter data on your behalf, with user’s consent and proof of address. Contact us to discuss the best way to incorporate this consent collection into your product.
