WP2 – Policy pull or push RTD needs
 Work Package objectives
To define the knowledge that lacks to support a collective
vision of the performance upgrades required by the European Transmission
Network in 2020 driven by the regulatory pull and push requirements.
Description
of work
At the European level, the ultimate objectives are:
-
For the Policy Maker: the security of supply, energy efficiency,
functioning of the internal energy market and the fulfilment of the Kyoto
Protocol commitments,
- For the Regulator: the continuous requirement of reliability
and quality of the electrical energy supply, the use of congestion management
to guarantee the markets competitiveness and the efficiency of allocation
of resources and the efficiency of the grid investments and operations
through the setting of the Use of the System Tariffs.
For the policy maker and regulator, those objectives can
be reformulated as follows:
- Provision of a clear definition of the role of the various
actors and their responsibilities with related legal, commercial issues
and penalties.
- To plan the corporate structure of the publicly appointed
institutions (TSOs, Power Exchanges, Single Buyers, DSOs).
- To set the rules of market design and operation
- Provision of a clear definition of the reliability standards
taking into account the European diversity in term of network structure
and related operational rules and constraints. This covers also the endorsement
and the supervision (but is not limited to) of the Operational Handbook
that govern the system operation in Europe (UCTE, NORDEL, etc.)
o the convergence of the electrical standards of the EU countries
o the massive deployment of DER based solutions
- The obligation for the TSO/DSO to provide sufficient information
to allow all the market actors to optimally plan their investment decisions.
Those objectives will trigger specific RTD needs for the TSO’s. The work
package is divided into the following 3 tasks:
- Task 2.1: Transmission system economics, business model and regulation
- Task 2.2: Determination of the value of the reliability at the customer level
- Task 2.3: Monitoring and improvement of the reliability performances
