Nodal Integration Project
Project Objective
Enabling an Independent System Operator to move from its current zonal market to a nodal market.
Project Scope
Deployment of several new systems and their integration to support the system operator’s transition from its current zonal market to a nodal market. The integration is being performed using TIBCO EAI products.
This is a very large scale integration project including over 30 major system interfaces, 400+ data flows, and almost 100 web services that need to be implemented for communications with market participants.
UISOL is supporting integration definitions, design, and quality assurance and is responsible to design and build all web service interfaces. This project is near completion, but is ongoing.
