1. FG and Codes for System Operation Status of scoping discussion and drafting
Tahir Kapetanovic
ENM TF Co-Chair
XIX Florence Forum
13-14 December 2010

2. General Scoping discussions EC – ENTSO-E – ERGEG
Discussing initial Problem Identification and Objectives of the initiative as elaborated by the Expert Group
Identifying the additional needs for priorities and more detailed specification of issues already in the FG
Revisiting the first IIA draft to reflect the above
1st scoping meeting 27 October 2010
2nd scoping meeting 23 November 2010

3. Scope for FG
In order to ensure overal coverage, one FG shall be designed to foresee all the System Operation codes
Stepwise approach and amendments in the future possible
Where not yet clear about the impact of the ongoing initiatives (e.g. CACM FG process), use a “place holder“ to point to the future changes which will be necessary in the FG
Re-work the initial IIA and produce the FG draft, to be revisited and discussed with the Expert Group during January 2010
Draft the IIA and FG complete for public consultation to be initiated by end of February 2011

4. Scope for Codes Priorities:
Priority 0: Operational Security Code
Priority 1: “Filling the Gaps”: Scheduling, Training, Information & Communication
Priority 2: Enhancing the basics: P-f control, Emergency and Restoration
Priority 3: Inter-Synchronous Area issues, Supergrid issues, Manualy activated reserves
Priority 2 to be “maintained” in parallel to the work on the development of Priority 0 and 1, in order to account for any necessary changes from other initiatives

5. Scope for Codes (cont‘d)
Change Management
Congestion Management
Staff Training and Certification
Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement
Information and Communication
Load Frequency
Operational Security
Emergency and Restoration
Inter Synchronous-Areas
Supergrid Aspects
Manualy Activated Reserves Interaction
“filling the gaps“
Priority 1:

“enhancing
the basics“
Priority 2:

Priority 3:
cations“

6. Process Issues and FG Interaction
In addition to codes, in two areas process (“rules and procedures”) issues to be addressed:
Change Management
Compliance monitoring and enforcement
TSO

nection

DSO
Capacity Allocation &
Congestion Management

7. Costs vs. Benefits
Costs vs. Benefits analysis is an important element of the Initial Impact Assessment
Expected benefits
Reducing the risk of system-wide disturbances (e.g. 11/2006)
Enhancing the uniform and common treatment of all kinds of grid users throught all synchronous areas in the EU
Ensuring adequate support for the market functioning and evolution / development
Supporting a sustainable and effective integration of renewable (and all other) generation
Cost/Benefit analysis to be completed during the revised IIA and FG development process in the next weeks
