Role of the Settlement Administration Agent (SAA)

The Settlement Administration Agent (SAA) collects metered volume data, energy
contract volume data, forecast data & balancing actions
It uses this data to calculate the Energy Imbalance Volume of each Trading Party (i.e.

the difference between the Party's metered volumes and its contracted volumes)
The SAA also calculates System Sell and System Buy prices, which are multiplied by
the Energy Imbalance Volumes to calculate the Trading Charge cash-flows.
