P92 has built a system called GaSys to provide a trading platform for the gas running in a nationwide gas pipeline network in Hungary. The functionality is real-time capacity management, managing transmission bids and offers, aiding logistics, accounting and operational gas network balancing.

Hungary and Slovakia have built a natural gas interconnection pipeline between the countries, which forms part of the first North–South Gas Corridor in Central Europe. The establishment of the pipeline is a high profile project in both countries and the European Union has also provided a non-refundable grant for the project, which significantly increases the security of supply in the region. The Hungarian part of the pipeline is 92 km long and has two-way transmission in 800 mm diameter pipes at very high pressure (75 bar). The pipeline can carry up to 127 million kilowatt hours per day.  P92 was appointed IT partner to the project and has built a system called GaSys to provide a trading platform for the gas running in the pipelines. The functionality is real-time capacity management, managing transmission bids and offers, aiding logistics, accounting and operational gas network balancing.

Facts:

• The system comfortably works within the parameters set at the beginning of the project, and platform support agreements have been signed with P92 for future operating years
• The pipeline can carry up to 127 million kilowatt hours per day
• Java running on three virtual servers are run on the same hardware infrastructure using a High Availability (HA) solution from VMWare
