Aurélien Hachez, Jessie Moelans

2. Objectives of 1st Experts Group
Gather attention points & motivations of stakeholders on selected articles of SO GL & E&R NC’s
Present context & principles
Share Elia work document

3. Context & principles Context
SO GL is applicable for existing and new units
Needs in data exchange evolve
Anticipate the needs of tomorrow
It is not an one shot discussion
First general principles
No revolution, but well an evolution in data exchange
For DSO connected SGUs, data will be exchanged with DSO (no direct link with TSO) Elia and DSO will analyse how to collaborate for product contracted between Elia and SGUs connected on the distrubtion grid

5. Why ?
RfG Whereas (21)
Adequate information exchange between system operators and power-generating facility owners is a prerequisite for enabling system operators to maintain system stability and security. System operators need to have a continuous overview of the state of the system, which includes information on the operating conditions of power-generating modules, as well as the possibility to communicate with them in order to direct operational instructions.
ACER Framework Guidelines establish:
Paragraph 3.1: “… The network code(s) shall set out the procedures and requirements to coordinate and ensure information sharing between … System operator and significant grid user …”
Paragraph 3.2: “… The network code(s) shall set the requirement for every significant grid user to be able and obliged to provide the necessary real-time operational information to the DSO and TSO that their connection has significant impact upon. The network code(s) shall set the requirement for every significant grid user to be able to receive and to execute the instructions sent by the TSO and/or DSO, on a contractual basis or in critical operating state.”

7. Connection codes General requirements
Art. 18 Information exchange
Transmission-connected demand facilities shall be equipped according to the standards specified by the relevant TSO in order to exchange information between the relevant TSO and the transmission-connected demand facility with the specified time stamping. The relevant TSO shall make the specified standards publicly available.
Transmission-connected distribution system: idem
The relevant TSO shall specify the information exchange standards. The relevant TSO shall make publicly available the precise list of data required.
DCC
Art (d) Requirements for type B, Type C and Type D power generating modules
with regard to information exchange:
power-generating facilities shall be capable of exchanging information with the relevant system operator or the relevant TSO in real time or periodically with time stamping, as specified by the relevant system operator or the relevant TSO;
(ii) the relevant system operator, in coordination with the relevant TSO, shall specify the content of information exchanges including a precise list of data to be provided by the power-generating facility.

10. Proposed approach in Expert Group
1st Experts Group: October 17th
Gather attention points & motivations of stakeholders on selected articles of SO GL & E&R NC’s
2nd Experts Group: November 21st
First Elia proposal taking into account the input from the stakeholders
Debate with stakeholders
3rd Experts Group (closing): December 20th
Consolidation of proposal
Important note:
Discussion are still on-going within Synergrid CE11 concerning data exchange between DSO & TSO and between SGU connected to DSO grid & systems operators
Discussion are still necessary between TSO en CDSOs connected to TSO grid
