Damas MMS:E Capacity Management module is our comprehensive solution for interconnection and grid operators to support the cross-border capacity allocation and management processes. Designed in close cooperation with our UX experts, it covers the following business areas with a strong focus on end-user experience:
- Configurable business processes including timing, data-flows and data types with flexible time resolution
- Configurable capacity allocation type (explicit, implicit) per timescale (Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Day-ahead, Intraday, Post-Intraday)
- Management of outages (up to one-second time resolution)
- Management of capacity values (up to 15-minute time resolution)
- Submission and reception of capacity values via configurable interface options of our Enelane product
- User-customizable dashboards and screens in our innovative FlexiGUI
- Responsive design and excellent user experience, including the light- and dark-mode options
- Direct data exports and imports to / from MS Excel
Smart dashboards packed with features
All our screens are thoughtfully designed to consolidate essential information – both from the Capacity Management module, or other sources such as the related Nominations module – in one centralized and user-friendly view. This enables our users to see all important data in one place, and drill down into specific use cases as necessary.
What if a user prefers a different layout or additional information? No problem! With our innovative FlexiGUI architecture, each user can easily customize their screens to match personal preferences.
Key features include:
- Drag-and-drop re-arrangements
- Move-and-resize function
- Show-and-hide options
- Collapsible components
- Tabular transposition (horizontal-to-vertical and vice versa)
Changed your mind? No worries, the layout can be simply changed at any time or reset back to the default. With FlexiGUI, your screens are as flexible as your needs are.
Dynamic data visualization through components
Each screen is composed using carefully selected and configured components from our Unicorn Graphic Design Ecosystem – a comprehensive library of hundreds of ready-to-use visual components. These include navigation panels, tables, forms, charts, buttons, links, bars, countdowns, and much more. This approach ensures that each implementation can be seamlessly tailored according to our client’s need
The Outage management screen shows how the related business and operational data are conveniently consolidated into a centralized overview by using various components:
- Table component for a conventional tabular data display
- Chart component with tooltips – simplifying navigation and making complex information easy to grasp
- Other options include Map or Timeline components, for example.
All graphical components and features can be powered by our advanced Time Series engine, which provides a robust toolkit for complex time-related data visualization and management, including computations and data precision and clarity.
Extending Damas MMS:E product family
The new Damas MMS:E Capacity Management module builds upon an established suite of ready-to-use business modules, including the following:
- Nominations module – providing all features needed to fully support the scheduling processes
- Balancing module – procurement of balancing energy with a critical role in maintaining the grid stability and market efficiency
These modules have already proven their effectiveness in real-world deployments of Damas MMS:E, successfully implemented by European transmission system operators, such as:
- The Portuguese TSO (REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais)
- The Romanian TSO (Transelectrica)
- The Greek TSO (IPTO)
As part of the growing Damas MMS:E family, our new standard functional modules deliver reliable and scalable solutions in the modern microservice architecture.
Areas of use
The new Capacity Management module is designed to handle a wide range of critical business processes, making it an essential tool for interconnector and grid operators. Key areas of use include:
- Outage management – manages calendars of planned outages and responds to unplanned outages
- Net Transfer Capacity (NTC) management – calculates and manages NTC values, taking into account a variety of inputs and constraints
- TSO-specific limitations – handles constraints such as NTC Proposals and Intraday Transfer Limits (ITLs)
- Available Transfer Capacity (ATC) management – calculates ATC values, sets allocation constraints, and defines Offered Capacity (OC) for auctions
- Capacity Auctions – supports implicit and (fallback) explicit auction specifications for various timescales and constraints
- Corrective measures – applies capacity curtailment, or reverts to the last accepted values when needed
The versatility and robustness of the Capacity Management module make it a reliable solution for managing complex energy market processes with high efficiency and performance.
Benefits
The new Capacity Management module builds upon years of professional expertise and continuous feedback from our customers, ensuring a solution tailored to meet the industry demands. Its key benefits include:
