9. Selected R&D activities in ČEPS  ACM - Automatic central monitoring of VHV & EHV equipment condition within TS  Dynamic Rating Variable ampacity of transmission line in dependence on climatic conditions  EPG -European Power Grid  FACTS - Flexible AC Transmission Systems  GCC -Grid Control Cooperation  eHIGHWAY 2050 Modular Development Plan on Pan-European Electricity Highways System  SCOPF -Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow  TSC - Transmission System Cooperation  UMBRELLA - Toolbox for Common Forecasting, Risk Assessment, and Operational Optimisation in Grid Security Cooperation of Transmission System Operators (TSOs)  UA&MD -Study of connectivity of Ukraine & Moldavia with continental Europe  WAMS - Wide Area Monitoring System

10. TSC - Joint control of operational security of TSs in the region, coordination of corrective actions 50Hertz Transmission (Germany) Amprion (Germany) APG (Austria) ČEPS (Czech Republic) ELES (Slovenia ) EnBW Transportnetze (Germany) PSE Operator (Poland) Swissgrid (Switzerland) TenneT TSO (Netherlands) TenneT TSO (Germany) VKW-Netz (Austria) HEP (Croatia) MAVIR (Hungary) The initiative covers the territory in Central Europe with population more than 165 million TSC members Former sphere of UCTE grid TSO with status of observer

11. TSC offers integrated output data which are useful for TSOs, as well as for other existing security initiatives (centralised or de centralised...) TSC is compatible with all organisational forms (among other TSOs) in Europe TSC can be extended, if there is an interest of other TS operators (even to other spheres of synchronous part of European grid) TSC improves operational security of TSs in Europe ENTSO-E CTDS CORESO TSC - SSC… Brussels Europe TSC for TSOs in a decentralised way Roemmerkirchen (DACF …)

12. TSC -TSO Security Cooperation Tool for closer cooperation between Transmission System Operators (TSOs) It solves unfavourable operating situations (caused e.g. by high transit of power from wind parks in Northern Germany). These flows of power result from increased installed power generation capacities in wind power stations as well as from prices of power on spot markets (such prices of power are directly related to the volume of wind power generation) Typical flows of power generated from wind

13. Real-Time Awareness & Alarm System (RAAS) in Central Europe Global knowledge of situation in electricity systems and real-time information on main parameters which are available at individual dispatching centres RAAS provides warnings and alarms relating to grid conditions to all TSOs in the whole region in real time.
