scope:

This part of IEC 62325, which is a technical specification, defines the services needed to support the electronic data interchanges between different actors on the European Energy Market for Electricity (EME) in a fast (near-realtime), and secure way. At the same time, this Technical Specification can also be applied to integration problems outside the scope of IEC 62325-451, such as to the integration of gas market systems or general enterprise integration.

Web Services (in WSDL) will be specified for the defined services, applying the Basic Web Service Pattern implementation profile from IEC 61968-100.

The services needed to support the electronic data interchange on the European energy market for electricity are:

• List Messages. This service is used by a client application identified with the credentials of an EME Actor to request a list of messages available on the server for retrieval.

• Get Message. This service is used by a client application identified with the credentials of an EME Actor to request a specific message available on the server.

• Put Message. This service is used by a client application to send a message, usually providing data related to a Market Participant in the energy market for electricity, to the server for processing.
