Common platform for data exchange and performing common security assessments of “TSO Security Cooperation” goes live
20.07.2010
Common platform for data exchange and common security assessments “CTDS” developed by Unicorn Systems and Elektrosystem performed acceptance tests successfully and now is being implemented on the IT systems of the eleven participating companies that are responsible for providing a safe electricity supply to 170 million European citizens.
The worldwide unique system “CTDS” receives operational forecast data from eleven European Transmission System Operators (TSO) and adjacent electricity systems. It merges them into unique datasets, executes security calculations and provides the results to all members. The outcome enables each TSO to take appropriate and coordinated operational measures to safeguard the European electricity system in real time, to perform further investigations and so to ensure reliable electricity supply for millions of European citizens.
The TSC common platform for data exchange and security assessment successfully performed the phase of acceptance tests. The functionalities of the platform “CTDS” encompass load flow and contingency analysis and communication services. “CTDS” is being implemented on the IT systems of all eleven participating Transmission System Operators (TSOs). During a three months introduction phase starting mid July, it will run parallel to the current tools of the individual TSOs to perform final tests in a real business environment.
The TSC initiative is an association of eleven European transmission system operators (TSOs) from The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic and Austria. The objective of TSC is to master the growing operational needs throughout Central Europe in the context of the integration of wind power, increased cross-border trading and electricity transport.
TSO Security Cooperation
Transmission System Operators (TSO) VERBUND - Austrian Power Grid, Tiwag Netz, VKW Netz (Austria), ČEPS (Czech Republic), 50Hertz Transmission, Amprion, EnBW Transportnetze, transpower (Germany), TenneT TSO (The Netherlands), PSE Operator (Poland) and swissgrid (Switzerland) launched in December 2008 an initiative to foster regional European cooperation for system security in the concerned countries and in whole Europe. The involved TSOs set up the “TSO System Security Cooperation” with a permanent TSO Security Panel (group of security experts), new cooperation tools for Control Centres and a common IT platform CTDS for data exchange and performing common security assessments. TSC’s main goal is to ensure the overall system security of the European network, an area with 170 million citizens, and is open to the participation of other TSOs.
