What's New
Introduction
This page details what's new at www.netareports.com.
12th July, 2010
This is a big release with many changes to take advantage of the new data items as part of the
implementation of P217, new ways of accessing historical HH Forecast BMRS data, some bug fixes and
a new XML-REST interface to access BMRS messages.
New and Changed BM Unit Summary Data Items
Modification P217 to the BSC classified balancing mechanism acceptances into two groups,
those that are actions to address an overall imbalance in energy on the system, so called
"Energy Actions" and those that address a system issue (such as a transmission constraint),
so called "System Actions".
For energy actions another twelve fields have been added to the data stream: four volume
numbers, the "Accepted Energy Bid Volume", "Accepted Energy Offer Volume", "Accepted Energy
Undo Bid Volume" and "Accepted Energy Undo Offer Volume"; four cashflow
numbers, the "Accepted Energy Bid Cashflow", "Accepted Energy Offer Cashflow", "Accepted Energy
Undo Bid Cashflow" and "Accepted Energy Undo Offer Cashflow"; and four accepted price numbers,
the "Accepted Energy Bid Price", "Accepted Energy Offer Price", "Accepted Energy
Undo Bid Price" and "Accepted Energy Undo Offer Price". There are some additional fields that
aggregate some of these numbers: The "Accepted Energy Bid And Undo Offer Volume", "Accepted
Energy Offer And Undo Bid Volume", "Accepted Energy Bid And Undo Offer Cashflow" and "Accepted
Energy Offer And Undo Bid Cashflow". Finally there is the energy BOA count which is the number
of accepted energy bid offer acceptances.
For system actions there are the same number of fields describing the system bid offer acceptances.
A change to the underlying SAA data flows means that for some time NETA Reports has been reporting
the balancing services volume as the bid offer volume. A new field the "Balancing Services Volume" has
been added to the data set which is the bid offer volume plus the applicable balancing services volume.
The Bid Offer Volume is now purely the sum of balancing mechanism volumes for the BM unit.
New BM Unit Bid Offer Data Summary Items
P217 added additional data items at the Bid Offer level so there have been a number of new
fields added to the BM Unit Bid Offer Data summary data items. There fields are: "Period BM
Unit Tagged Bid Volume", "Period BM Unit Tagged Offer Volume", "Period BM Unit Repriced Bid
Volume", "Period BM Unit Repriced Offer Volume", "Period BM Unit Originally Priced Bid Volume"
and "Period BM Unit Originally Priced Offer Volume" which are used to identify how much volume
is allocated in the system pricing mechanisms.
The fields "Accepted Energy Bid Volume", "Accepted Energy Offer Volume", "Accepted System
Bid Volume" and "Accepted System Offer Volume" are used to identify how volumes have been allocated
to energy and system actions.
Wind Forecast (WINDFOR) Data
The Wind Forecast pages have been implemented
to show wind forecast (WINDFOR) data. There are four pages:
- The view latest wind forecast data
page allows the user to view the latest wind forecast data from the balancing
mechanism reporting service.
- The view wind forecast data history
page allows the user to view a history of wind forecast data from the balancing
mechanism reporting service.
- The download latest wind forecast
data page allows the user to download a file containing the latest wind forecast
data from the balancing mechanism reporting service for a date range.
- The download history of wind
forecast data page allows the user to download a file containing the full history of
wind forecast data from the balancing mechanism reporting service for a date range.
New ways of Downloading HH Forecast Data
The seven types of half hourly forecast data available on the site can have many
different numbers for each half hourly period as the forecast is revised. Every
forecast has a publishing time and value. The forecast is not necessarily revised every
half hour, typically the publishing time can change but the value does not or the
publishing time can remain the same for a number of forecasts.
The forecast history downloads now have an additional drop down box to allow the user to
select whether they want all data downloaded, only data when the publishing time has changed
or data where the forecast value has changed.
New XML-REST Services for BMRS data
The XML-REST services developed over the past year have been very popular with users wanting
to populate their databases with BM Unit and Energy Account information. This has now been extended
to provide access to data from the BMRS. The service request type is called "realtime" and is
documented in the realtime section of the XML-REST section
of the site. The service provides three generic ways of getting access to data, the latest
data for a date, the history of data for a date or new messages that have arrived after a certain
time. The latter is very useful for those using NETA Reports to populate their own datasets. The
services implemented to date are as follows:
- HH Forecast - Half Hourly Forecast Data Published by NGC (DF, INDDEM, INDGEN, IMBALNGC, MELNGC, TSDF, NDF)
- 2-14 Day Forecast - 2-14 Day Forecast Data Published by NGC (NDFD, OCNMFD, TSDFD)
- 2-52 Week Forecast - 2-52 Week Forecast Data Published by NGC (NDFW, OCNMFW, TSDFW)
- Initial Demand Outturn - Initial Demand Outturn Data Published by NGC. (INDO, ITSDO)
- Wind Forecast - Wind Forecast Data Published by NGC (WINDFOR)

NETA Reports has a new home ...
NETA reports has moved from Middlesbrough to Newcastle. As part of the move to a more highly
specified data centre the system has been moved to new hardware too. The new platform consists of
two boxes, a web server and separate database server. There is also a hot standby system that is ready
to replace the live system in case of a failure of the main system.

service click here.
24th July, 2009
New BM Unit Data Items
The following items have been added to the BM Unit data tables.
- RCRC - The "Residual Cashflow Reallocation Charge" is used to reallocate
the moneys due to or from parties from energy imbalance settlement back out to participants.
It is also more colloquially known as the beer-fund. The RCRC is calculated inside settlement
to the energy account level. This new field is populated by NETA reports and recreates this
calculation but at the BM unit level.
- Generation Capacity - The generation capacity in MWs reported by BSC parties to
Elexon and published by them on www.elexon.co.uk. This number is changed at least seasonally.
It is also known by some as the name plate capacity.
- Demand Capacity - The demand capacity in MWs reported by BSC parties to
Elexon and published by them on www.elexon.co.uk. This number is changed at least seasonally.
- CO2 - The tonnes of CO2 emitted by a power station when
converting fuel to electricity.
- SO2 - The tonnes of SO2 emitted by a power station when
converting fuel to electricity. Currently a place holder whilst Environment Agency data
is integrated into the system.
- NOx - The tonnes of NOx emitted by a power station when
converting fuel to electricity. Currently a place holder whilst Environment Agency data
is integrated into the system.
New Derived BM Unit Data Items
The following items are now available as derived data items.
- FPN + BOA + ABSV Volume - The FPN Volume plus the BOA Volume plus the applicable
balancing services volume in MWHrs for the half-hourly period. The FPN + BOA + ABSV volume
is at the GSP.
- FPN Percentage of MEL - The notified volume (FPN) modified by balancing actions
(BOA + ABSV) as a percentage proportion of the MEL. This is useful for determining the short
term utilisation of plant from notification data. Only sensible for generation BM units.
- FPN Percentage of GC - The notified volume (FPN) modified by balancing actions
(BOA + ABSV) as a percentage proportion of the generation capacity. This is useful for
determining the utilisation of plant from notification data. Only sensible for generation
BM units.
- Metered Volume Percentage of MEL - The metered volume as a percentage proportion
of the MEL. This is useful for determining the short term utilisation of plant from metered
data. Only sensible for generation BM units.
- Metered Volume Percentage of GC - The metered volume as a percentage proportion
of the generation capacity. This is useful for determining the utilisation of plant from
metered data. Only sensible for generation BM units.
- MEL Percentage of GC - The MEL volume as a percentage proportion of the generation
capacity. This is useful for determining the short term availability of plant compared against
its declared generation capacity. Only sensible for generation BM units.
- MIL Percentage of DC - The MIL volume as a percentage proportion of the demand capacity.
This is useful for determining the short term demand requirement compared against its declared
demand capacity. Only sensible for demand BM units.
Impact of New Items on the System
The new items at BM Unit level have now appeared throughout the system on the various
spreadsheets that contain BM Unit derived information. They will appear as new tabs in
the spreadsheet. All cached spreadsheets that require these new fields have been set to stale.
The new data items are also on the BM Unit data
download page.
XML-REST Web Services
Users have always been able to download a number of data items via an XML-RPC backend interface.
This interface however is quite difficult for ordinary users to use. A new XML-REST interface
has been implemented which is more easy to use for ordinary users. Documentation for
this service is available at the XML-REST section
of the backend pages. Three services have been implemented:
19th May, 2009
NGC Fuel Type Summaries
Two new pages have been added to the fuel type summary section.
- The settlement period fuel type data page is used
to generate a spreadsheet with BM Units grouped by NGC fuel type to arrive at a settlement period
total per fuel type for a time period. Data displayed is volumes and balancing mechanism
acceptance volume, cash-flow and price data.
- The daily NGC fuel type data page is used
to generate a spreadsheet with BM Units grouped by NGC fuel type to arrive at a daily
total per fuel type for a time period. Data displayed is volumes and balancing mechanism
acceptance volume, cash-flow and price data.
Power Station Summaries
A new sub-section has been added to the summary section. The
power station page displays information by power station.
This section has two new pages.
- The settlement period power station data page is used
to generate a spreadsheet with BM Units grouped by power station to arrive at a settlement period
total per power station for a time period. Data displayed is volumes and balancing mechanism
acceptance volume, cash-flow and price data.
- The daily power station data page is used
to generate a spreadsheet with BM Units grouped by power station to arrive at a daily
total per power station for a time period. Data displayed is volumes and balancing mechanism
acceptance volume, cash-flow and price data.
LCPD Data Summaries
A new sub-section has been added to the summary section. The
LCPD data page displays information
on large combustion plants.
- The settlement period LCPD stack data page is used
to generate a spreadsheet with BM Units grouped by LCPD stack to arrive at a settlement period
total per LCPD stack for a time period. Data displayed is volumes and balancing mechanism
acceptance volume, cash-flow and price data.
- The daily LCPD stack data page is used
to generate a spreadsheet with BM Units grouped by LCPD stack to arrive at a daily
total per LCPD stack for a time period. Data displayed is volumes and balancing mechanism
acceptance volume, cash-flow and price data.
Spreadsheet Caching
Spreadsheet caching has been implemented on the site. A background task is now building
spreadsheets. Now instead of waiting for spreadsheets, the spreadsheet will be waiting
pre-built for immediate download.
28th April, 2009
Gas Fired Power Station Summary
The Gas Fired Power Station Summary page has been
fixed. The problem was with the interface to the NGC gas data site but this has been fixed.
Data is available from October 2007.
10th February, 2009
Large Combustion Plant Directive Spreadsheet
A new page has been added. The Large
Combustion Plant Directive Spreadsheet page allows the user to download a summary
of operating hours under the large combustion plant directive. It uses environment
agency numbers with metered volumes and FPN volumes to predict operating hours and
make an educated guess at the closure date of opted out plant.
As a consequence of this work the carbon spreadsheets have been moved to a new
emissions section.
18th January, 2009
New data type restrictions on BM Unit Data Download
The BM Unit Bulk Data Download
page has been modified to provide more ways of selecting groups of BM units
for download. The following data type restrictions have been added:

New variables on BM Unit Data Download
The BM Unit Bulk Data Download page has been modified
to provide more information.
Information on available and declared bid offer pair volumes before acceptances has been summarised
up to the settlement period level. The data builds on the bid offer pair data download completed in
September but modifies it slightly by filtering out sleeper bids and offers (i.e. excessively large
positive or negative prices).
BSUoS charges and metered volume at the NBP has been added.
The BMRS dynamic data has been summarised to the period level. To decide which value to use for the
period, the one that applies for the most time in the settlement period is the one that has been
selected.
The complete list of variables added to the download facility is as follows:

The summary of system data spreadsheet for a time period
page has been changed to add system wide generation utilisation data. The new columns show total generation
FPN+BOA volume, total generation MEL volume, total generation metered volume, percentage total generation
FPN+BOA volume of total generation MEL volume and percentage total generation metered volume of total
generation MEL volume. These numbers allow the user to gain an idea of how much the national system is
stressed.

- "Realtime Transmission System Frequency Data" (BMRA.SYSTEM.FREQ)
Functionality has been added to display Non-BM STOR Out-turn data.
22nd September, 2008
BM Unit Bid Offer Data Bulk Data Download
The BM Unit Bulk Data Download page has been modified
to provide more information. The new modification allows the user to download BM Unit bid offer data.
The new functionality combines data from BMRS data and settlement file data to get the most recent
data for a bid offer pair including the most up to date accepted bid and offer volumes and cashflows.
As always BMRS data whilst only a day behind is frequently inaccurate and is updated in the settlement
files. A little bit of clever analysis has been added which calculates the actual available volume
for the half hour for the bid offer pair. What does this mean? Essentially code has been written that
analyses the bid offer pair profile and FPN profile and MEL/MIL profile to find the proportion (if
any) of the bid offer pair that is available to NGC for balancing. For example, if a power station
BM Unit declares a bid offer pair with a level of 10MW, if the MEL profile is between this value and
the FPN then the all the volume of the bid offer pair will not be able to be utilised because of the
MEL ceiling. This has been quite difficult because it involves adding and subtracting MW profiles
which is logically difficult in code.
Please note that this page has the capability to produce very large files,
very quickly. Always save the output before trying to open it in Excel
because it is very likely that the size of the file will exceed Excel's
65536 line limit. This page is best used for populating your own desktop
databases (like Microsoft Access).
In addition to the BM unit, settlement date and settlement period and bid offer pair number the
data items available are as follows:
- Bid Price the bid price for the bid offer pair.
- Offer Price the offer price for the bid offer pair.
- Bid Cashflow the bid cashflow from bid offer acceptances that intersect this bid offer pair.
- Offer Cashflow the offer cashflow from bid offer acceptances that intersect this bid offer pair.
- Accepted Bid Volume the bid volume from bid offer acceptances that intersect this bid offer pair.
- Accepted Offer Volume any offer volume from bid offer acceptances that intersect this bid offer pair.
- Priced Accepted Bid Volume any bid volume from bid offer acceptances that intersect this bid offer pair that are not arbitrage or NIV tagged.
- Priced Accepted Offer Volume any offer cashflow from bid offer acceptances that intersect this bid offer pair that are not arbitrage of NIV tagged.
- Potential Volume Available the volume available on this bid offer pair after being sliced by MEL/MIL.
- Potential Volume Declared the volume declared on this bid offer pair with no MEL/MIL slicing.
- Potential Bid Cashflow Available the bid cashflow available on this bid offer pair after being sliced by MEL/MIL.
- Potential Offer Cashflow Available the offer cashflow available on this bid offer pair after being sliced by MEL/MIL.
- Potential Bid Cashflow Declared the bid cashflow available on this bid offer pair with no MEL/MIL slicing.
- Potential Offer Cashflow Declared the offer cashflow available on this bid offer pair with no MEL/MIL slicing.
- Time From the start time in minutes from the start of the period.
- Value From the start level.
- Time To the end time in minutes from the start of the period.
- Value To the end level
12th June, 2008
Balancing Mechanism Data
Functionality has been added to display bid and offer data.
1st January, 2008
Gas Fired Power Station Summary
The Gas Fired Power Station Summary page will now not
update as NGC has changed the interface. When the link to the new interface has been created. In
the interim, only data for October, November, December 2007 will be available.
18th December, 2007
Gas Fired Power Station Summary
The Gas Fired Power Station Summary page has been created
to generate spreadsheets summarising gas input, station MWHrs output and derived thermal efficiency of
gas fired BM Units. The CO2 emissions from burning this gas will be added to the spreadsheet
in the near future.
10th December, 2007
Hot Standby Server
For disaster recovery purposes the code base has been updated to allow the maintenance of hot standby
servers that can be used to replace the main server in case of a failure. Although the main server has never
failed this will allow the main server to be replaced with a hot standby system in two hours.
BSC Party and Trading Unit Relationships
The code to update relationships between BSC parties and Trading units has been updated to
derive the relationships using BM Unit data downloaded from the Elexon website for days between
the end of the settlement data and the previous day. This allows interconnector data to be displayed
one day behind instead of 5 working days behind.
Excel Spreadsheet Generator / Download Enhancement
The code to generate Excel spreadsheets has been improved to pass the spreadsheet size in bytes
through to the user's browser providing feedback during the final stage of download to the user's machine.
System Price Summary Spreadsheet Changed
The system price summary spreadsheet
page has been updated to provide more information. Settlement Period level data is now included.
31st October, 2007
Triad Data Summary Spreadsheet
The TNUoS Period Data Spreadsheet for a TNUoS Year
page has been updated to provide more information. Demand forecasts are now included, this
includes day ahead (DF), 2 to 14 days ahead (NDFD) and 2 to 52 weeks ahead (NDFW) data.
The spreadsheet has been modified further to present a table with peak data for each day and
the current predicted Triad numbers as well as a glossary.
15th October, 2007
BM Unit Summary Data changes
The backend processes that bring BM Unit data from settlement files and BMRS data
into summary tables has been finished. This functionality replaces the existing summary
functionality that takes data only from settlement files. The upshot of this change is
that now the summary data pages will have notification data up to a day behind. The
metered volume data remains five working days behind.
All spreadsheets that summarise BM unit data have been changed over to the new data
source. However, interconnector data and spreadsheets that reference BSC party level
information will not show data more recent than five working days behind because they
rely on BM Unit for BSC Party relationships that are derived from settlement data.
Energy Account Data Download
A new page has been added that can be used to download energy account data. The
download energy account data for a date range page
is used to download a CSV file containing energy account data for anything from one to all
BSC parties for a date range at settlement period resolution.
Balancing Mechanism Data
Functionality has been added to display total bid and offer data.
17th September, 2007
Internet Explorer 7 Issues
All pages that create XLS spreadsheets have now been converted to the new progress reporting functionality.
As part of this process the code that is used to select the time range of the spreadsheet has been modified to
allow different periods to be chosen. The allowable time periods are limited by performance concerns and Excel's
column limit of 255 and row limit of 65536. Time periods are:
- Day
- Week
- Month
- Quarter
- Calendar Year
- Financial Year
- TNUoS Period (Nov-Feb)
15th September, 2007

Internet Explorer 7 Issues
Microsoft brought out a new version of its browser, internet explorer (IE),
some months ago. NETA reports customers have now started to upgrade and this
has brought to light an issue. The previous version of IE (6) had a response
time-out of 1 hour, the new version (IE 7) has a response timeout of 30 seconds.
Some of the reports on the site take a long time to generate because they contain
lots of complicated data and this new timeout setting means that IE 7 frequently
gives up when waiting for these big reports to complete. The message that IE7
shows when it times out is not helpful saying things like "Cannot Find Server"
which implies that there is a problem with the site which is not the case.
The solution to this problem is to change the way NETA reports generates reports.
When a report is requested, the user is diverted to a page which shows the progress
on the creation of the report. When the report is finished, a link is presented to
the user to allow them to fetch the generated report. This progress page refreshes
every 15 seconds which means that IE 7 now does not time out. It also provides more
reassurance to the user that something is happening.
Reports that have been changed are as follows:
Progress on conversion of the report generation pages will be reported here as it progresses.

5th February, 2007
BM Unit Bulk Data Download
A new page has been added to the BM Unit summary page.
The Bulk Data Download page is used to extract data from
at BM Unit level using different filters. The first set of filters
allows data to be extracted for BM Units at settlement period level
using a BM Unit restriction based on the BM Unit type which can be
chosen from one of : Notifying BM Units, Notifying CVA BM Units,
Notifying SVA BM Units, Embedded CVA BMUnits ('E_') Only,
Directly Connected CVA BMUnits ('T_' and 'M_') Only,
Interconnector BMUnits ('I_') Only or SVA BMUnits ('2_') Only.
Please note that this page has the capability to produce very large files,
very quickly. Always save the output before trying to open it in Excel
because it is very likely that the size of the file will exceed Excel's
65536 line limit. This page is best used for populating your own desktop
databases (like Microsoft Access).

Problem with Elexon Supplying SAA-I0142 version 6 files
The November release has eventually rippled through to the system that serves P114 data files.
A failure in the copy job at the Elexon end meant that SAA-I0142 files were not available between
Tuesday 23rd and Monday 29th January. The issue was raised with Elexon and has been resolved. This
has caused a back log which has taken a day to get through. The databases are now back-up to date
with SAA data.
15th January, 2007
Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service Historical Data Service Goes Live
Elexon have gone live with the historical BMRS data service and data now goes back to 1st Jan, 2002.
NETA reports has been set on with importing this data and it is estimated that it will take approximately
a month to upload the five and a bit years of data into the database.
15th December, 2006
Triad Data Summary Spreadsheet
A new page has been added to the summary data section.
The TNUoS Period Data Spreadsheet for a TNUoS Year
page is used to generate an excel spreadsheet that contains system period demand
for a TNUoS year (Nov to Feb). The spreadsheet uses the same calculation methodology as NGET
which means that it can be used to validate NGET calculations of TNUoS periods and also
to back up ongoing analysis during a winter so that potential TRIAD periods can be called
with more accuracy. The spreadsheet contains INDO data for each day as well as metered data
as appropriate for as many settlement runs as necessary upto about eight days after the SF
run for the last day of February.
30th November, 2006
Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service Data
After some discussions with Elexon and co-incident with a project they are running internally,
NETA Reports is starting to be modified to take in data from the Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service.
This data is picked up from the BMRS as a large data file with data for the previous day at around
2AM. Although this data is only notification data it will combine with the existing settlement data that
we get five working days behind to add extra value to the service.
The data currently goes back to 10th August, 2006. It is envisaged that this data will be used to
provide BM analysis and summary reporting which is only one day behind. NETA reports is inching towards
real-time market information.
20th July, 2006

Auto-Reporting Enabled
Phase 3 of the development of www.netareports.com commences. Auto-Reporting
allows the user to define a customisable reports which can then be automatically
emailed to them when the data becomes available on the service.
Current reports available are at the fuel type level, the super party level
and a combinations of fuel type and super party. Reports are also available at
three resolutions, daily, weekly and monthly.
The fuel type level reports allow the user to view which fuel technologies are
used to generate electricity, which fuel technologies get called in the balancing
mechanism and how these fuel technologies perform in non delivery charges.
The super party level reports aggregate data at the level of the ownership
of assets, these reports allow the user to view the market share of super parties
in generation, which super parties get called in the balancing mechanism and how
these super parties perform in non delivery charges.
The super party fuel type reports aggregate data at the super party and fuel
type level allowing the user to see which super parties use which fuel types.
These reports allow the user to see market share in the SVA market and market share
in each individual generation technology.
These reports are accessed via the reports base page .
A subset of the available reports have been made available as a free report which
is available for download at the free report page.
Free reports can be downloaded via the free email page.

Enhancements to BM Unit Summary Data
The code that creates summaries of BM Unit performance has been re-written. The
first key change is that the undo bid and offer data has been striped out. Previously
bid and offer volumes were aggregated together in the conventional format. Now accepted
bids which are undoing previously accepted offers are striped out as "undo" offers.
Similarly the corresponding undo bids can be stripped out also. This means there are
now new worksheets and columns in all spreadsheet reports showing the following:
- Total Accepted Undo Bid Volume - The aggregate undo bid volume.
- Total Accepted Undo Offer Volume - The aggregate undo offer volume.

NETA Reports has a new home ...
NETA reports currently runs on a rented server in a data centre somewhere in Slough. Today
phase one of a migration process was completed when the system was installed on a new box
running inside a data centre in Middlesbrough. The new platform has more disk space as the
database backend for the server is currently 100GB and forecast to grow to 250GB in six months.
Data updates on the production box will now pause whilst the new box has final testing in its
new location. When data update is complete the DNS settings for the www.netareports.com domain will
redirect to this new box.
One of the enhancements to the system implemented on the new box is a revised BM unit summary
system that splits achieved bid and offer prices to identify reverse prices and volumes.
