Zodiac is an automated system to be used by wholesale power market operators of Russian Federation.

Participants of the Russian wholesale power market use Automatic Meter Reading Systems (AMR-Systems). However, a standard AMR-System is focused on collecting data and does not provide all the functionality required to work at the market. To prepare data for the market following functions should be considered:

• Converting collected data into user-friendly format.
• Data check for completeness and reliability.
• Capability to restore lost data.
• Preparing reports and special documents required for financial arrangements with partners.

Zodiac is the software system ready to be integrated with an existing AMR-System and supplementing it with all the functionality mentioned above.

In more detail, Zodiac provides users with following capabilities:

1. Working with large amounts of information gathered from electricity power meters and presented user-friendly as charts and plots.
2. Reconstruction of missing or lost data by the means of special algorithms.
3. Sending e-mails to a market operator in manual and automatic modes.
4. Calculating power interchanges and power losses (user-adjustable algorithms).
5. Generating reports required to work at the Russian wholesale power market.
