More than one third of all gas providers in
Germany have implemented BelVis EDM GAS
to gain a competitive edge in the liberalised
gas market. The reason – as proven by cus-
tomer satisfaction – is trust in BelVis and in
our extensive practical experience.
BelVis EDM GAS is also in operation in sev-
eral European countries.
Energy suppliers, faced with quickly chang-
ing structural modifi cations in the gas
market, rely on the continuing support of the
software industry. An independent market
survey has shown that all our BelVis clients
feel that they receive optimised support and
competent advice.
The fi rst ever radio connection.
James Clerk Maxwell’s discovery of
1864 and Heinrich Hertz’ experimental
verifi cation initially remained untapped:
The knowledge of the existence of radio
waves. But then, in 1893, Tesla caused
excitement in the scientifi c community.
A stage: On the one side a 5kVA supply
transformer connected to Leyden jars, a
spark gap, a spool and a wire leading to
the ceiling. And on the other – the receiver
side – another wire, jars and a spool. As
the transformer was activated, a bright
corona formed around the Leyden jars. But
more impressive was that which could not
be seen: the sending of an electromagne-
tic wave – something entirely new. Radio
technology was born.
BelVis EDM GAS:Energy data management for today and tomorrow

Laws, regulations, and agreements have
resulted in a reform of many market rules
in energy markets all over the world. And
the process is not yet complete. Market
players are faced with modifi cations, new
requirements and standards every day. New
rules for data exchange, balancing, standard
load profi les or capacity calculation are
developed continuously.
That is why the right ‘time to market’ –
specifi cally in the gas sector – is currently
of particular importance when it comes
to the expansion of energy data manage-
ment. In BelVis, this is just one component
of product development within the scope
of software maintenance: market support
you should be able to expect from your
software partner. It clears the way for your
success and ensures the security of your
investment.
Implementation of market require-ments in BelVis EDM GASCurrent market requirements, e.g. format
changes, are implemented contemporary in
BelVis EDM GAS. It supports the handling
of standard load profi les gas in accordance
with current guidelines, the management of
balancing group and framework contracts,
nomination and allocation, calculation of
differences and reconciliation values, and
much more. Interfaces to common gas
meters and remote meter reading are of
course available.
BelVis has the capability for market com-
munication in EDIFACT and further inter-
national formats. A fall-back on external
providers for the handling of market com-
munication is made superfl uous by BelVis.

The data model in BelVis EDM GAS: market-conform and close to realityNew roles and contractual relationships
emerge for the market participants all along.
All of the specialist knowledge of BelVis EDM
GAS is contained in the master data of the
individual instances, their assignments, and
in the time series stored in them. The BelVis
data model interlinks the market participants
and their contractual relationships with the
gas networks and their physical character-
istics. Gas year and gas day are of course
considered throughout.
Market participants
All required time series are stored automati-
cally for each market participant. Time series
aggregations are carried out automatically,
making all relevant totals available at any
time.
Gas networks
In addition to natural gas networks and
subnets, BelVis EDM GAS manages feeding/
extraction points and transfer stations as
individual instances including their techni-
cal data. Quality zones and districts add
structure to the networks, which are mapped
with their physical properties. The gas state
with temperature, pressure and volume cor-
rection factor, as well as its gross calorifi c
value are considered as time series and as-
signed to the relevant instances. The relevant
value – standard volume or heat quantity – is
therefore instantly available. Where required,
plausibility and substitute value processes
or a compressibility factor correction can
be carried out. Even special situations, like
control or subtraction meters are possible.
Key functions in BelVisIts gas management processes and algo-
rithms make BelVis EDM GAS an ideal sup-
port solution for day-to-day business.
High fl exibility in the application of load
profi le data
BelVis applies the load profi le data from
remote meter reading systems of metered
extraction or feeding points. In the gas sector,
these are customers with registering fl ow
measurement at hourly intervals or measure-
ments at network interconnection and feed-
ing points. BelVis not only works well with all
common RMR systems, but also with meter
service providers.
Powerful plausibility checks
for various verifi cations
Plausibility checks of the acquired data are
indispensable for daily business processes.
BelVis offers a selection of reports for that
particular purpose: The status report verifi es
the completeness of the expected values.
A throughput check monitors minimal and
maximal thresholds. The allocation check de-
termines the plausibility of allocated quanti-
ties based on the quantities of the previous
days and weeks. Even the declaration lists
can be checked for consistency.
Reconciliation calculations
The basis of reconciliation calculations for
standard load profi les and PM metering
points is on the one hand the collected usage
data of retroactive customers, which is col-
lated in regular meter readings and appor-
tioned per day on the basis of standard load
profi les, and on the other hand the allocated
and corrected energy values of metered
customers.

ENERGY MARKET SYSTEM

In addition to the traditional biogas appli-
cations in CHPs for the generation of green
power, the direct marketing to end customers
is increasingly growing in importance. BelVis
supports the producers in vital processes
after RES feeding: Balancing, nomination,
management of biogas balancing groups,
transfer at the virtual trading point. As well
from the viewpoint of the system operator,
BelVis EDM GAS balances biogas feedings
correctly and assignes them to the respective
allocation processes.
Windgas is an exciting topic for the future.
The synthetisation of methane from wind po-
wer (power to gas) is one option for harnes-
sing and storing power spikes from wind
farms, and to utilise the existing gas network
for transporting the energy, and to ultimately
reduce the load on power networks. Once the
requirements for the technical and econo-
mical framework conditions will have been
specifi ed, these balancing rules will also be
made available in BelVis EDM GAS.

BelVis EDM GAS is the basic machine for all
players in the gas market. Distribution system
operators, gas traders, transport network or
storage operators – BelVis EDM GAS offers
software modules and customising functions
that allow for targeted alignment for all areas
of application and therefore fulfi l the specifi c
requirements of the respective users:
System operator
BelVis EDM GAS provides a technical and
economic view of the grid districts, including
a parallel visualisation of the various physical
values (operating volume, standard volume,
energy volume). With BelVis EDM GAS, system
operators can handle the entire allocation
process – from the receipt of the load profi les
from RMR to normalisation, re-evaluation and
determination of balance group and classifi ca-
tion group totals, right down to the dispatch of
the allocations to the TSO or balance respon-
sible.
Many standard load profi le processes have
already been integrated (synthetic/analyti-
cal), own coeffi cients possible; analysis and
optimisation of the load profi le process). The
system operator can furthermore maintain and
monitor a network account.
Sales
Very practical from a sales point of view is the
economic overview of the sales region that
can stretch across numerous networks, and the
handling of energy volumes exclusively in kWh.
BelVis EDM GAS supports communication
with system operators and balancing group
managers. Processes for customer segmen-
tation are included, as well as a variety of
options for sales load forecasting (bottom-up
or top-down strategy, short-term forecast and
comparison days method with temperature
infl uence, regression, distribution and duration
curves; additional methods available in BelVis
PRO). Standard load profi les can be considered
down to the individual metering point, and the
monitoring of network usage and reconciliation
billing is optionally available.
Trade and balancing group managers
Forecasts (bottom-up, top-down) generated in
BelVis EDM GAS form the basis for procure-
ment and trade. It also takes on all communica-
tion in accordance to market rules, i.e. the re-
ceipt of allocations and balances from the MGM
and the deliveries of nominations. ‘Shadow
balancing’ and monitoring of the balancing
group totals reported by the TSO are optionally
available. BelVis EDM GAS furthermore offers
the analysis and monitoring of all balancing
accounts in the market zones.
