Improvements in the Trader UI

by JAO

Dear Market Participants,

Please be informed that yesterday evening there was an update of our system which resulted in changes and improvements in the Trader UI, as listed below:

- New Entitlement screen which visualizes your long term, daily, intraday and shadow entitlements.

- "Reset password" button added to the log in page, which gives the possibility to reset the password without the need to contact JAO helpdesk.

- On the Bid screen only the matching intraday periods are displayed for the selected corridor.

- The weekly auction filter by the default displays the current week.

- Read-only users have now access to the Auction gates tab on the trader UI.

We hope that those changes improve your user experience.

Best regards,

Operations team

The Core Flow-Based Day-Ahead Capacity Calculation project (Core FB DA CC) parties would like to inform market participants of an update of the Core Static Grid Model (SGM) in accordance with Art 25(2)(f) of the Day-ahead capacity calculation methodology of the Core capacity calculation region. The aim of the publication of the SGM is to allow market participants to do market analyses in order to enhance efficiency in the market. The Core Static Grid Model is a list of relevant grid elements (Excel table) of the transmission system, including their electrical properties that is published every six months by the Core TSOs.

 

Answering to feedback provided by the Core NRAs and market participants, the current release includes a change log and a map providing a detailed view of the grid infrastructure in the Core region, including information on transmission lines, and other key technical characteristics.

 

The publication of the SGM is accompanied by a release of the Core Static Grid Model Handbook, which provides market participants with a comprehensive guide to the SGM.

 

The SGM, its Handbook and the map can be found on the JAO website [LINK].

 

Communication channels

Questions in relation to the Core FB MC project in general, the publications of the day-ahead Core Flow-Based Capacity Calculation inputs and outputs, as well as market coupling simulation results can be raised on the Q&A forum: http://coreforum.my-ems.net/

 

Market participants that would like to follow the project development closer, are invited to join the Core Consultative Group (CCG) subscribing on the following website [LINK]. The participants of the Core Consultative Group will receive regular information and invitations to teleconferences and meetings.
