The new ecm-hkn was specifically developed in Switzerland for Swiss EVUs. It offers a wide range of features, from portfolio management to production and consumption management using forecasts and power product definitions and trading, to mathematically optimal HKN allocation.

Portfolio Management

With ecm-hkn, EVUs can easily manage their energy portfolios. They can create and customize an unlimited number of portfolios to meet different business configurations. The separate management of portfolios allows for precise cost determination and meets the requirements of the Federal Electricity Commission (ElCom) for transparent cost accounting.

Function Overview

Production Management

The system enables the individual recording and management of large production facilities. Smaller facilities or those with similar characteristics can be grouped, for example, under the category “Purchase PV from grid area”. The ecm-hkn reacts swiftly to changed production conditions and allows for quick adjustments of forecasts.

The effects on the proof-of-origin portfolio are displayed immediately. Thus, full control of energy production and evidence management is ensured. And it is precise, proactive, and efficient.  

Consumption Planning

The ecm-hkn offers a detailed and personalized design of power products based on a variety of attributes, from origin to technology. Furthermore, products can be upgraded with recognized certification labels such as “naturemade-basic” and “naturemade-star” to emphasize their quality and meet market preferences. The integration of individual power products into portfolio management is seamless and intuitive. EVUs can determine the product share for each portfolio, adjust the mix, and upload their consumption forecasts. The system immediately shows the need for proofs of origin, enabling effective planning and coverage of consumption .

Real-Time Trading

The ecm-hkn provides a comprehensive overview of trading activities in the area of proofs of origin. It records all purchases and sales of hkns and provides a clear overview of open positions. The monitoring functions allow for real-time tracking of trading performance and quick responses to market changes. This supports continuous optimization of trading strategies.

Optimized Allocation

The ecm-hkn system optimizes the allocation of proofs of origin through a thoughtful optimization algorithm. It identifies positions that are currently not covered by existing proofs and allows for effective planning to ensure the coverage of consumption.

The strength of the system particularly shows in its ability to identify all positions that are not covered by existing proofs. Furthermore, it proactively alerts when high-quality certificates such as “naturemade-star” are used in less valuable products like “renewable Switzerland”. An important step to preserving the integrity and value of the energy offer at maximum cost efficiency.

The ecm-hkn provides flexibility and control with the option to start allocation optimization at any time and for any evaluation period. This dynamic function ensures that EVUs always have an overview of their portfolio and can make informed decisions. Thus, operational efficiency is increased and strategic goals are supported.

4 Reasons for the Introduction of the ecm-hkn by meonet:

• Seamless Integration and Customizable Interfaces: The system offers user-friendly bidirectional interfaces for easy data flow. Whether manual data entry via the intuitive front-end or automated processes via REST interface; the system offers flexibility and adapts to your workflow.

• Data Transfer and Reporting: The powerful reporting engine allows for direct import of internal data into business intelligence tools like Power BI, Power-Automate, or even Excel. This enables you to create reports that are not only informative but also visually appealing.

• Full Transparency: The source code of the product is fully viewable, giving you the option to realize your own interfaces or extensions. This openness ensures a perfect adaptation to individual needs.

• Control and Overview: With the ecm-hkn, EVUs maintain full control over their portfolio management and can navigate securely through the complexity of energy production.
