Requirements to generating units

It is of crucial importance that generating units meet technical requirements relevant to system security. Moreover appropriate dynamic behavior of generating units, protection levels and control facilities are necessary in normal operating conditions and in a range of disturbed operating conditions in case of perturbations to the system or during system restoration in order to preserve or to re-establish system security and equipment integrity.

Large-scale CIM Interoperability Test verified UCTE profile

UCTE and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), along with European and American vendors and Transmission System Operators (TSO) conducted one of the largest CIM interoperability tests to date. The test, held on March 23rd – 27th in Paris, was organized by UCTE, directed by EPRI and hosted by RTE (TSO of France).

TSOs for Electricity publish interim report of European Wind Integration Study

The 15 electricity transmission system operators participating at European Wind Integration Study (EWIS) have published their interim report, approved by the European Commission in December 2008. This report describes the chosen study methodologies and current study activities in progress. EWIS will provide a positive and constructive input to the process of constructing a less carbon-dependent Europe. Publication of the final report is planned in autumn 2009. The final report aims to deliver recommendations for policy makers.

Successful first Pan-European Conference on Reliability of Power Grids by UCTE

The first Conference on Reliability of Power Grids in Europe confirmed a great consensus in the key role of Transmission System Operators in the reliability of the European electricity grid and the achievement of the ambitious 20-20-20 targets of the European Commission. It was underlined that reliability today can only be ensured by system operators, provided that their efforts are backed by a consistent action at the interfaces of system operation, namely by policy-makers, regulators, grid users, and R&D entities. The conference was attended by some 380 participants from 42 countries who actively participated in a broad exchange of views on expectations of all involved parties.
