Planning & Balancing (PGB, Forecasting, Allocation and Nomination)
Plan, forecast and balance gas and electricity consumption to optimise network operations
The benefits of implementing planning and balancing systems in your organisation
Our planning and balancing solutions are specialist systems designed to support key operational processes in the gas and electricity sectors. They enable data forecasting in accordance with applicable regulations, ensuring consistency and the efficient exchange of information between market participants.
Planning and balancing systems significantly streamline the day-to-day work of operators and planners. They give you full control over processes and minimise the risk of errors. By using these solutions, you can also:
improve the accuracy of forecasts and the quality of operational data through real-time data correction;
automate planning processes in the energy sector, as well as nomination, allocation and settlement processes in the gas sector;
ensure compliance with market regulations and the requirements of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), the Transmission System Operator (OSP), the Distribution System Operator (OSD) and the National Grid Operator (PSE);
monitor and analyse data within a unified system environment using a single platform;
improve cooperation with market participants through the secure exchange of data and reports;
to improve the stability and predictability of the gas or electricity network.
Who are planning and balancing systems designed for?
The RAN system and the Forecasting Module support operators in carrying out activities relating to forecasts, nomination, allocation and settlement of gas. The software ensures compliance with IRiESD and IRiESP, automates reporting and minimises the risk of financial penalties. As a result, operators gain full control over data flows and a guarantee of the security and accuracy of settlements.
Our solutions facilitate data exchange between gas market participants, including distribution system operators (DSOs), distribution system operators for wholesale (DSOWs), gas transmission operators (GTOs) and transmission system operators (TSOs). By automating nomination, renomination and allocation processes, they enable efficient operational cooperation and transparent settlements at the interface between distribution and transmission systems. This ensures a seamless flow of information and helps you establish yourself as a reliable partner in the supply chain.
PGB is a solution designed for the Electricity sector, supporting operators in the planning, scheduling and balancing of power generation facilities and transmission lines. The system streamlines the management of generation and availability schedules, improves the quality of data transmitted to PSE, and enhances the operational efficiency of processes within the electricity grid.

Frequently Asked Questions
The source data is retrieved from the KOLEKTOR meter reading system or from a SCADA system (windEX, TELEXUS), depending on the architecture and configuration of the implementation.
Yes, the RAN system allows data to be shared via a built-in web interface, ensuring secure access to information in accordance with the assigned permissions.
Yes, the Forecasts Module allows you to perform manual data entry, enabling you to take into account additional operational information or non-standard situations.
The RAN system provides, amongst other things, an Imbalance Report, a Commercial Distribution Report and a Nomination Mismatch Report, supporting settlement and analyses of market processes.
