Benchmarking Model

The TSO Comparison Group is using an advanced multidimensional Benchmark Model for comparing TSOs’ System Operation organization.

The Model’s “multidimensional approach” provides insight into the efficiency and effectiveness of each TSO with respect to both its own environment (size, structure, regulation et al) and to other TSO environments.

The Model’s output has demonstrated the capability of identifying generic differences (resulting in ad hoc peer-groups) as well as generic similarities.

The Model’s output has been utilized for mergers (in defining staff sizing requirements), and tested for self-analysis (in validating actual staff sizes).

Features of the benchmarking model

The model aids in highlighting the effects of non-traditional changes within peer groups.

As non-traditional changes, such as new Market initiatives are developed, the Model will display the areas of change.

Although the value of those changes will vary with corporate objectives, the magnitude and the areas impacted by the changes will be highlighted by the Model.

The key feature of the Model is that it does not focus on defining the “best” and the “worst” TSOs, but rather focuses on identifying differences between TSOs.

Whether differences are good or not will depend on many factors – the Model allows the user to make those value decisions based on the goals of the respective user.

For Benchmark purposes a ‘standard TSO’ with five key System Operation processes has been defined..

CIGRE

(INTERNATIONAL COUNCILON LARGE ELECTRIC SYSTEMS)

Aim

CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric Systems) is one of the leading worldwide Organizations on Electric Power Systems, covering their technical, economic, environmental, organisational and regulatory aspects.

A permanent, non-governmental and non-profit International Association, based in France, CIGRE was founded in 1921 and aims to: Facilitate the exchange of information between engineering

personnel and specialists in all countries and develop knowledge in power systems.

Add value to the knowledge and information exchanged by synthesizing state-of-the-art world practices.

Make managers, decision-makers and regulators aware of the synthesis of CIGRE's work, in the area of electric power.

CIGRE: Developing Technical Knowledge

CIGRE develops technical knowledge through 3 types of activities:

- Organizing Conferences and meetings, where papers are discussed,

- Carrying out Permanent studies by 16 Study Committees, each dealing with a specific technical field,  publishing reports and organizing Tutorials. 

- Making its publications available to members of CIGRE and others. 

Study Committee C2 - System Operation and Control

The Study Committee C2 serves within Cigré by forming a working concept for the functionalities, structures and competence needed to operate integrated power systems in a way that is in compliance with the social requirements for security of electricity supply.

The performance of power systems in real time depend on technical quality factors built into the systems through various activities and knowledge currently covered by the other Cigré Study Committees. SC C2 therefore needs to use and combine results provided within these committees.

An area which is unique for C2 is however the dependency on a good performance of human resources in real-time system operation activities.

In these respects SC C2 encircles a wide range of competence areas and interfaces to other disciplines.

Mission and Scope of CIGRE Study Committee C2

Mission of SC C2:

To facilitate and promote the progress of engineering and the international exchange of information and knowledge in the field of system operation and control. To add value to this information and knowledge by means of synthesizing state-of-the-art practices and developing recommendations.

The Scope of SC C2:

The scope of the SC covers the technical, human resource and institutional aspects and conditions for a secure and economic operation of existing power systems under security requirements against system disintegration, equipment damages and human injuries

Driving forces for future work The priorities to important emerging factors that will

influence and define new requirements on the System Operation performance.

Directions are: Integration of regional and national grids into large open markets Management of generation capacity and energy shortages Management of capacity shortages Impact from new sources of dispersed generation and related

system requirements Influence from customer needs and response Interaction between open market trading mechanisms and

power system operation in congestion and transit flow management

Integration of information and communication technology
