  1. Overview of Project PlanUNDERSTAND Revised on 26 February, 2007

  2. Proposed Meeting Agenda • Introduction of Meeting and Presentation of participants • Approval of agenda • Scope and delimitation of Understand • Overall project organisation and time plan • Next steps – local activities and end-products • Next meeting in the coordination group

  3. Background • The project UNDERSTAND is based on the need for a pan European concept for energy supply security management • This need evolves from several factors, some are: • Automatisation of control systems and grids (“Black Box”) • Escalation of retirements in the following five years • Outsourcing of maintenance (based on old methodology) • Cross-border interdependencies increasing • Need of objective assessment • EU has initiated several projects to increase security in energy supply and energy systems i.e. • EPCIP – European Program for Critical Infrastructure Protection • Protection and Security of the Citizen • SEIF – CV conference (security in energy infrastructures and energy supply)

  4. Scope/Objective • Building Crisis Management capabilities • in black-out situations • targeted at Mid-level managers at Transmission Systems Operators (TSO) -approx. 500 – 1 000 people in total • in electrical network operations, and • aimed at avoiding or minimizing cascade effects. • Create or solidify the development of organizational security culture/behavior for reliability and resilience.

  5. Crisis Management Capabilities Examples of these include (list not complete): • Ability to work and make decisions under stress / in crisis situations by mid-level mgrs • Crisis management organisations at TSOs • Understanding and knowledge of technical infrastructure, both own and mutual • Understanding and knowledge of cascade related problems, definitions etc • Establishing cross-border reporting lines and structures • Other key capabilities

  6. Delimitation • Only electrical power, not gas • Only duty officers, operations managers and national dispatchers (or equivalents) • Building on existing technical systems and information structures

  7. Total overview of project Development and validation of ”concept version” Roll-out + Continous enhancements Development of operational version Oct 2006 – Sept 2008 Sept 2008 -> TDB

  8. End Product • Part 1: Defined and validated concept for a pan European training program for electricity transmission security management • Why? Raise awareness, etc • Target groups (some hundreds of people) • Current status and good examples (Nordel and others)? • Lessons learned from recent black outs? • What? (Definitions, levels, procedures,….) • How? The content and the delivery methods for the education/training/simulation, etc. Role of “test groups”? • Part 2: Plan, budget and organisation etc. for next step • Tentative work plan and budget for continued work • What other stakeholders and funders have to be involved?The role of ETSO? UCTE? Nordel? Euroelectric? • Who will take this concept forward and fully develop the operational training program? EC/JRC/Ispra?

  9. Areas central to the concept • Improved networking opportunities among TSOs building on existing networks/training etc (cf. Nordic Grid) • Enhanced communication at mid-level management • Embraces education and scenario based training • Helping also new member states • Strengthens future electricity grids – organisationally and socially • Supports a continuous learning process • Centered on cross-border training situations, including their national effects.

  10. Project Participants • Swedish Energy Agency (Sweden) • SecLinc AB (Sweden) • VSB Technical University of Ostrava (Czech Republic) • ABC Dialog (Denmark) • The National Emergency Supply Agency (Finland) • Link Consulting sas (Italy) • Lithuanian Energy Insititute (Lithuania) • KCEM AB (Sweden) • University of Zilina (Slovakia) • University of Cranfield (United Kingdom) TSOs in Europe should be involved/informed at an early stage in the project. These are key to a successful implementation of project results.

  11. Project Organization Directorate-General for Education and Culture Promoting Organization Swedish Energy Agency Project Secretariat Project Management SecLink Coordination Group WP 2 Cranfield WP 3 NESA WP 4 SEA WP 5 VSB WP 6 ABC Dialog

  12. Coordination Group • Members • Swedish Energy Agency - representative • Project Management and Secretariat • Project Leaders from each work package • Meetings • Bi-Monthly status meetings (every other meeting is a face to face meeting) • Other meetings shall primarily take place in WPs.
