Trading Intervals and Values

The column headings displayed in the lower part of the interface depend on what you selected for the agreement type. There must be a value recorded for each of the 48 or 288 trading intervals. The value can be zero, but it must be present.

The grid now represents the trading intervals. The rows represent the hours in trading interval times and the columns represent the minutes. This allows you to span 48 or 288 intervals.

With 30-minute intervals the columns are for :00 and :30. As an example, in the image below, the value of 500MWh for trading interval ending at 02:30.

With five-minute intervals the columns span from :00 to :55. So the first row represents the five minute intervals between 00:05 am to 00:55 am. The second row represents 1:00 am to 1:55 am and so on.
