BS EN IEC 62325-451-6:2018

What is BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 - Framework for energy market communications about?  

BS EN IEC 62325 is a series on a framework for energy market communications. Framework for energy market communications refers to the use of different marketing channels and tools in combination. BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 specifies a UML package for the market information publication business process and its associated document contextual models, assembly models and XML schemas for use within the European-style electricity markets. 

BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 is based on the European-style market contextual model (IEC 62325-351). The business process covered by this part of IEC 62325 is described in Clause 5. The relevant aggregate core components (ACCs) defined in IEC 62325-351 have been contextualised into aggregated business information entities (ABIEs) to satisfy the requirements of the European-style market publication business process. 

Who is BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 - Framework for energy market communications for? 

BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 on a framework for energy market communications is useful for: 

• Telecommunication sector 
• Business sector 
• Administration department  
• Design engineers 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 - Framework for energy market communications?  

BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 is part of the IEC 62325 series for deregulated energy market data exchanges based on the European-style market profile. BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 defines the document contextual models, the message assembly models as well as the XML schemas to be used for the market information publication process also called the transparency process. The principal objective of BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 is to produce standards that facilitate the integration of market application software developed independently by different vendors into a market management system, between market management systems and market participant systems. This is accomplished by defining message exchanges to allow these applications or systems access to public data and exchange information independent of how such information is represented internally. 

The common information model (CIM) specifies the basis for the semantics for message exchange. BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 provides, for the European-style market profile, the publication (or transparency) information exchanges to submit either to a data aggregator or to an electronic publication platform the necessary information to be published about the electricity market. Using BS EN IEC 62325‑451‑6 you can specify a UML package for the market information publication business process and its associated document contextual models, assembly models and XML schemas.
