How are real-time measurements reported to Svenska kraftnät?

The current data exchange between Svenska kraftnät and external companies is based on communication using the ICCP protocol (i.e., TASE.2), via Svenska kraftnät’s fixed or leased fiber network. Due to technical reasons, it is currently not possible to establish new ICCP connections. Svenska kraftnät is investigating the possibility of introducing a new alternative communication solution for smaller actors. 

Actors who do not currently have an ICCP connection to Svenska kraftnät and wish to participate in the FCR or mFRR markets may be granted a time-limited exemption from reporting real-time measurement data to Svenska kraftnät, until the new communication solution is in place.

Even after the new solution is introduced, it may still be possible to use the grid operator’s existing infrastructure (ICCP link) to exchange real-time data, where applicable. Svenska kraftnät therefore encourages actors to initiate dialogue with the grid operator early in the process.

In cases where an existing ICCP connection is available through another business unit within the same company or corporate group, Svenska kraftnät views this positively. For example, Company A’s Heat Production unit participates in the mFRR market with flexible consumption and utilizes Company A’s Distribution unit’s ICCP connection.
