BSC Changes impacting a NHH Data Collector
This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a Non Half Hourly Data Collector. Please note that the assessment of where impacts may affect certain roles within the electricity market may be amended during the course of the Change process.
P463 ‘Introduce a Standard Change Process’
To introduce a new change process – a ‘Standard Change’ process – into the BSC arrangements that would allow for certain, low risk, predictable and repeatable pre-authorised changes to be implemented without following the existing Change Proposal or Modification procedures.
CP1594 ‘Creating an Approval Process for New and Legacy Communication Types’
Older metering communication types are quickly becoming redundant and are being replaced by newer communication types. Elexon are proposing to create an approvals process to allow for the managed end dating of older technologies, such as Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Circuit Switched Data (CSD) and subsequently 2G.
CP1592 ‘Upgrade of NHHDA and EAC/AA systems from Oracle 12c to version 19.21’
Upgrade NHHDA and EAC/AA systems to the latest available version of Oracle 19.21.
P432 ‘Half Hourly Settlement for CT Advanced Metering Systems’
This Modification proposes to align the BSC definition of an Advanced Meter with that in the Standard License Conditions (SLC) and to set explicit Half Hourly (HH) Settlement obligations for Current Transformer (CT) Advanced Meters ahead of the migration to Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS).
P456 ‘Enable Elexon to procure ancillary Technology Services for use by BSC Agents’
Removing barriers in BSC Section E that would prevent Elexon updating BSC Agent contracts, therefore enabling BSC Agents to use Technology Services procured by Elexon. This should reduce costs for BSC Parties.
