Market Operation Data Interface System (MODIS) Integration

6B supports generators, suppliers, traders, aggregators, flexibility providers, and network operators in integrating MODIS with upstream data sources and downstream commercial and operational systems. Using APIs, secure file exchange, automation pipelines, validation frameworks, and cloud-native architectures, we enable accurate, timely, and compliant data exchange with MODIS. From discovery through deployment and long-term optimisation, we ensure your MODIS integration is robust, audit-ready, and built for evolving market requirements.

Understanding MODIS

The Market Operation Data Interface System (MODIS) is the platform used to exchange market-critical data between participants and system operators. MODIS supports a wide range of processes, including operational planning data, generation forecasts, outage submissions, availability declarations, loss forecasting, settlement data, and regulatory reporting.

MODIS provides structured data interfaces, secure file transfer mechanisms, validation rulesets, and time-based submission workflows. It is used extensively in regulated electricity markets to ensure consistent, accurate, and timely exchange of operational and commercial data. By integrating MODIS with internal systems, market participants can automate data preparation, streamline compliance workflows, and reduce manual effort.

Our MODIS Integration Process

We begin each project with a comprehensive discovery phase, analysing your operational obligations, trading and forecasting processes, data sources, submission schedules, and compliance requirements. Whether you need automated forecasting submissions, outage scheduling interfaces, settlement data processing, or reporting automation, we map your goals to MODIS’s supported formats, workflows, and security standards.

Our architects then design a secure, scalable integration architecture using APIs, secure file transfer (SFTP), event-driven workflows, ETL pipelines, or microservices depending on your operational landscape. We incorporate essential non-functional requirements such as auditability, cybersecurity, latency, data completeness, and resilience.

During development, we utilise reusable integration components — validation engines, transformation templates, monitoring dashboards, scheduling modules, and automated retry handlers — to accelerate delivery and improve robustness. All integrations undergo rigorous functional, performance, security, and timing-based testing to ensure error-free submissions under real market conditions.

After validation, we coordinate deployment with your operations, forecasting, compliance, and market teams. Once live, we provide ongoing monitoring, optimisation, troubleshooting, and enhancements to ensure your MODIS integration remains compliant with market rule changes and evolving operational workflows.

Benefits of MODIS Integration

Integrating your systems with MODIS delivers substantial operational, regulatory, and commercial benefits. Automated submissions reduce manual workload, eliminate common data entry errors, and ensure participants meet strict market deadlines.

Integration improves data accuracy through consistent validation, structured transformation pipelines, and automated reconciliation. Forecasting, availability, and outage information reaches system operators more quickly, supporting improved market transparency and system stability.

For commercial teams, MODIS integration enables smoother settlement alignment, stronger audit trails, and reliable historical data for performance analysis. For compliance functions, automated processes support regulatory obligations and reduce administrative burden.
