Information for TSOs and users
ECP – Energy Communication Platform
The purpose of the ECP is to provide message delivery capabilities with the following additional key features: Security, Reliability, Integration, Standard, Transparency, and Portability. ECP supports several integration channels such as AMQP(S), MADES Web Service (IEC 62325-504), and FSSF (File System Shared Folder).
ECP contains tree components :
- The client component - ECP Endpoint
- The service provider components - ECP Component Directory and ECP Broker
EDX – ENTSO-E Data Exchange
EDX is an additional and optional extension of ECP.
EDX is the communication platform for OPDE applications. It creates a distributed service platform where both service providers and consumers are connected via a state-of-the-art communication platform. It allows using additional integration channels for messaging. While ECP uses a fixed set of integration channels, EDX allows using (S)FTP, FSSP, MADES, SCP, or Web Services (e.g.: IEC 62325-504).
EDX also allows the implementation of new integration channels easily. It creates the basis for the OPDE platform and other ENTSO-E applications in the future that require reliable and secure communication.
EDX contains two components :
- The client component - EDX Toolbox
- The service provider component - EDX Service Catalogue
