Overview

The EEX import function (<importType>EEX</importType>) imports time series of an EEX data stream (transformed electricity rates time series; https://www.eex.com/en/).

The importer supports the following elements and attributes:

  • timeZone: optionally parsed from the timeZone element. If not set, the default timezone is used.
  • location id: is determined from the header stationName.
  • parameter id: is determined from the header parameterId. 
  • observation time: The event attributes date and time are combined following the yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format.
  • observation value: the value attribute of an event.
  • flag: the flag value from the event.

Exactly one TimeSeries element is expected. There can be one or more series element.

Example

An example of the format is is shown next.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TimeSeries>
  <timeZone>0</timeZone>
  <series>
    <header>
      <stationName>Swissix</stationName>
      <parameterId>Prix</parameterId>
    </header>
    <event date="2013-09-30" flag="0" time="00:00:00" value="21.14" />
    <event date="2013-09-30" flag="0" time="01:00:00" value="18.08" />
    <event date="2013-09-30" flag="0" time="02:00:00" value="14.1" />
    --------
    <event date="2014-11-02" flag="0" time="23:00:00" value="37.13" />
  </series>
</TimeSeries>
