List of all BSC Change Proposals
CP1550 Updates to monitoring of voltage failure alarms requirements
This Change Proposal looks to simplify the management of phase failures and update the requirements of voltage failure alarms.
CP1549 ‘Amendment of BSCP516 to clarify the criteria for Non-Domestic SVA Metering Systems’
CP1549 seeks to remove the text from BSCP516 ‘Allocation of Profile Classes and SSC’s for Non Half Hourly SVA Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’ that suggests a Change of Measurement Class from HH to NHH Profile Classes 3 or 4 is not possible so that it aligns with the correct interpretation of the rules set out in the BSC.
CP1548 ‘Remove constraint requiring BMRS to publish data files in a specific CSV format and structure’
This change proposal, CP1548, seeks to remove the specification of particular download formats in NETA IDD Part 1 Document paragraph 4.13 and be housed and maintained in the BMRS API and Data Push User Guide
CP1547 ‘Clarification on Site Specific LLF Calculation Process for Embedded LDSOs’
CP1547 seeks to provide clarity for Embedded LDSOs that choose to calculate Site Specific Line Loss Factors rather than Mirroring, through updates to BSCP128.
CP1546 ‘Introducing DTC flows to transfer UMS Summary Inventories and Control files’
CP1545 ‘Introducing Technical Assurance of Metering (TAM) Central Volume Allocation (CVA) Specific Sample audits’
CP1544 ‘BSCCo Approved EFR Representative sign-off required for any EFR plan following escalation’
CP1543 ‘Use of DTC dataflow D0051 in the Half Hourly sector’
CP1542 ‘Transfer the obligation to visit de-energised sites annually from Data Collector to Supplier’
CP1541 ‘Use of D0004 in BSCP502’
CP1540 ‘Strengthening the Qualification – Change of Ownership Process’
CP1539 ‘Inclusion of LCCC as an Affected party in Metering Dispensation applications’
CP1538 Correct Specification of TERRE Tibco messages
The Assessment Report for CP1538 was presented to the ISG on 2 February 2021, where it was approved for implementation in the April 2021 ad-hoc BSC release
CP1537 ‘Extending the Timescales for agreeing Technical Assurance of Performance Assurance Parties (TAPAP) Findings Reports’
CP1536 ‘Use of DTC data flow D0379 for submission of unmetered Half Hourly data’
CP1535 ‘Interconnector Fuel Type Category update to BMRS’
CP1535 seeks to Add the North Sea Link (NSL) Interconnector to the BMRS. CP1535 will also enable the withdrawal of the CP1516 interim solution to incorporate data from IFA2 and ElecLink Interconnectors on the BMRS.
CP1534 ‘Introduce Change of Supplier (CoS) – No Meter Process’
CP1533 ‘Mandatory Sending of D0052 for DCC serviced SVA NHH Metering Systems’
CP1533 intends to update clause 3.2.6.50 in BSCP504 to remove instances of the word “new” in order to make it clear that D0052s shall be sent in all instances.
CP1532 ‘Reduce Half Hourly Change of Supplier timelines to meet the Initial Settlement Run’
CP1531 ‘Additionally provide the TUoS Report to National Grid ESO at the II Settlement Run’
Additionally provide the TUoS Report to National Grid ESO at the II Settlement Run
CP1530 ‘Introduction of a formalised process for the validation of measurement transformer ratios by Elexon’
CP1529 ‘Earlier initiation of Supplier Agreed Meter Readings process’
CP1528 ‘CoP4 clarification of BSC Party responsibility for Commissioning of measurement transformers that the BSC Party adopts’
CP1527 ‘Increase the minimum data storage capacity for Settlement Outstations and mandate specific selectable integration periods for Metering Codes of Practice’
CP1526 ‘Introduction of Service Level Agreements for rectifying Meter faults’
CP1526 seeks to introduce formal Service Level Agreements that should be adhered to by Meter Operator Agents (MOAs) and Licensed Distribution System Operators (LDSOs) when rectifying Half Hourly Meter faults to ensure continued overall accountability of rectifying faults on Metering Equipment.
CP1525 ‘Improving the involvement of the LDSO in the fault resolution process’
CP1525 seeks to define a new process that would place obligations on Licensed Distribution System Operators (LDSOs) to rectify Half Hourly Meter faults where the fault is with Metering Equipment owned by the LDSO.
CP1524 ‘Improving the communication methods in the fault rectification process’
CP1524 seeks to implement changes to the communication process used by parties involved in rectifying faults on Half Hourly Metering Equipment.
CP1523 ‘D0312 Process Alignment’
CP1522 ‘Updates to BSCP520 to align with working practices and UMSUG recommendations’
CP1521 ‘BSCP70 Amendments for IA and IEA’
This Change Proposal seeks to amend BSCP70 to remove the statement excluding Interconnector Administrator (IA) and Interconnector Error Administrator (IEA) roles from the requirement to undergo CVA Qualification Testing.
