Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE) took 1st place in the "Best Implementation of a Cloud Service in the Last 12 Months" category in the "Best in Cloud" competition organized by the Computerworld magazine. It was awarded for using Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud resources to provide the Initial Data Migration Tool for the Central Energy Market Information System (CSIRE). The solution will benefit about 300 electricity sellers and distributors. Asseco prepared and launched the tool for PSE.
The construction of the CSIRE system requires the migration of data from about 300 electricity market participants. This is an unprecedented event in the Polish energy industry. The challenge is both the amount of data transferred to the system and the need to standardize the way it is collected and processed by many entities operating in the Polish market. This is because ultimately CSIRE will collect information from more than 19 million electricity metering points. Currently, they are located in the systems of electricity sellers and distributors.
As part of the construction of the Data Migration Tool, Asseco created specialized software using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Technologies were implemented that ensure very high processing efficiency (which is crucial for such a large project), as well as the scalability and flexibility of the solution - efficient handling of large amounts of data and saving resources at times when business needs are minimal. The tool is compliant with current data protection regulations (GDPR) and provides a very high level of security by using the entire architecture according to the principle of minimum privileges.
The "Best in Cloud" competition promotes, among other things, the most effective ways to implement the cloud. The "Best Implementation of a Cloud Service in the Last 12 Months" category recognizes companies and public institutions that effectively use cloud technologies. The result is determined by the impact on the organization's functions, the measurable economic effect and the impact on solving the organization's significant problems.
