EG3 Introduction, Tasks & scope of work

3

Scope of work Expected benefits from Smart Grids for their own organisation Smart Grids features provided by their own organisation Smart Grids features needed from other actors; Defined decision criteria for the deployment of specific Smart Grids features; Roles & responsibilities within their organisation relating to Smart Grids

deployment; Anticipated (or already identified from current/previous Smart Grid

deployment) interfaces and interaction with other actors in the electric power supply chain required for Smart Grids deployment

The key deliverables Development of recommendations on the roles and responsibilities of all

involved actors in the implementation of Smart Grids Definition of criteria and recommendations for the funding of Smart Grids

deployment

Interfaces & Interactions 1/2 Electric Supply Chain:

Importance of the interaction between TSO and DSO DSO interacting more frequently than today with TSOs, consumers

and generator Storage:

include electrical battery connected to the grid Interface between DSO and « Storage Owners »

Interface & interaction relation to Smart Metering (following 3rd Electricity Directive)

More flexible products: higher flexibility and volatility in the electricity supply chain

Most of roles & responsabilities are within the DSO Domain

6

Recommendations: 9 recommendations has been endorsed by EG3 1 recommandation added by ETSI to emphasize the role of ICT and

Communication Networks…

« Interfaces Recommendation #7: EG3 recommends interfaces to be specified between either of these entities and communication service providers:TSO, DSO, Agregators, Grid Users, BRP, Storage Owners. Theses interfaces are typical user to network interfaces and specify the agreed service level agreements which have a legal and technical part (QoS, security level, privacy, etc.)”

Benefits, Criteria and Recommendation for Funding of Smart Grids Deployment

Proposed process for elaboration of recommendations for funding

The EU Smart Grids has defined six priorities for the Smart Grids deployment in the Strategic Deployment

EG1 has adopted the key elements of this definition, describing them as the “high-level Smart Grids services”A. Enabling the grid to integrate users with new requirements B.Enhancing efficiency in day-to-day grid operation C. Ensuring grid security, system control and quality of supplyD. Better planning of future grid investment E. Improving market functioning and customer service F. Enabling and encouraging stronger and more direct involvement of consumers in their energy usage

6 Recommandations have been endorsed by EG3

Need to futher define roles & actors in Providers of technologies, Products and Services

Providers of Technologies, Products and ServicesNo clear actors defined with clear scope, however nice statements have been made: i.e « In addition, communication service providers will have to offer services addressing the electricity industry needs. Given the critical role of the electricity supply, communication service provides must ensure that their services deliver the required quality,security, privacy and reliability. This is specially requested under emergency conditions that may arise. Grid Services need to rely on maximum accessibility and coverage”

Energy Market PlaceDistributed Energy Resources

supplying customers that produce some of their electricity as well

new load profiles / flexibility measures should help retail suppliers

to optimize their procurement from the energy market.

State of play of the EU Task force (expert Group) activities: findings and roadmap:

1. There is a need for standardization, harmonized approach to all issues (technical, privacy / data protection, organisational, cross-issues between energy and ICT, etc); very important: INTEROPERABILITY

2. There is no need for new Directives or Regulation but instead a need for harmonized and effective implementation of the 3rd Package 

3. A range of consumer related issues need to be addressed accordingly, mainly on implementing 3rd Package, including appropriate market instruments and: easier switching of supplier or energy form, consumer protection, standards, dealing with environmental issues and putting benefits of that to the consumers, etc; a particularly important issue is a principle of privacy by design implemented in the European law (e.g. data minimization (use only data you need for application), deadlines for storage of the data, procedures of deleting the data, anonimization) 

4. Strengten Support for RIGHT and SMART investment and ensure adquate return 

5. Need to LEGALLY enable TSOs and DSOs to fulfill their duties (also mainly implementing 3rd package and sometimes correcting national framework)

 

Need new regulation?
