CP1285 – Unmetered Supplies: Clarification of Central Management System Requirements

Formal title: Unmetered Supplies: Clarification of Central Management System Requirements

Summary

Elexon raised CP1285 to improve clarity around Central Management System (CMS) requirements in BSCP520: The four issues for clarification are that: the maximum file lines permitted in control files are insufficient to record expected amount of information and should be increased; the CMS Unit Reference for control devices requires clarification to help users meet the BSCP’s required 12-digit structure; the CMS Unit Reference for non-control devices requires clarification to prevent confusion with file naming conventions; and the definition of information flag. Elexon has developed CP1285 in collaboration with UMSOs, MAs and CMS manufacturers who are involved in the CMS process.
