Inside SOLIS UPNR

Solar, wind, hydro, own plants and third-party producers: SOLIS UPNR collects metering data and schedules, calculates the forecast based on the technology and available data, and turns expected production into schedules for the aggregated production units to be offered on the markets.

How it works, step by step

From the producer's plant to the market schedule: the SOLIS UPNR flow.

01 · Plants

Producers' master data, contracts and schedules come from the THOR portal.

02 · Measurements

Production data is acquired from plants, SCADA and Terna.

03 · Forecast

Expected generation is calculated for each plant, based on technology and schedules.

04 · Scheduling

Production is aggregated into zonal production units and scheduled on the markets via ERGObid.

01Who is SOLIS UPNR for?

Balancing service providers managing a portfolio of production units, their own or those of third-party producers, including under PPA contracts, who need to schedule them and bid them on the markets.

02How is the production forecast calculated?

The forecast is calculated for each plant according to its technology and the availability of production schedules: for programmable plants the schedules uploaded by producers on the THOR portal are used, for the others native models or forecasts from external providers.

03How do SOLIS UPNR, THOR and ERGObid relate to each other?

THOR is the portal where producers share master data, schedules and unavailability; SOLIS UPNR uses this data to forecast generation and aggregate it into zonal production units; ERGObid takes the schedules to the MGP, MI and XBID markets.
