Scheduling
Scheduling turns accepted nominations, ALPEX results and internal plans into the hourly schedule compared with meters. The official clocks sit with OST and ALPEX.

Why it matters
A trade on ALPEX is a market result. A nomination is a message. The schedule is the object imbalance will use.
If those three are not the same perimeter and the same hour, the desk will look healthy until settlement. Scheduling is the join.
Who may send a schedule, when it becomes firm, and how it is matched with TSO processes are official. This page is the desk map, not the TSO manual.
How it works
Official source: OST scheduling / nomination procedures and the balancing rules. TradingDesk explanation: the chain is plan, accept, freeze, compare.
The BRP (or the authorised party) sends nominations for production, consumption and trade. ALPEX day-ahead and intraday results feed that plan. They do not skip it.
Accepted nominations become the schedule for each interval. After real time, metered energy is compared with that schedule. The difference is imbalance.
Internal TradingDesk views that show a position are useful only if they match this schedule. A portfolio the TSO does not know is not a schedule.
Gates, matching cycles and emergency revisions stay in the official procedures. Provide those PDFs before this page lists clocks.

TradingDesk context
TradingDesk Market Operations should show the hour that is about to become schedule, not only the ALPEX print. This Wiki page is the definition of that join.
