1) ENTSO-E = European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity International cooperation – the ENTSO-E1) • The Transmission Gridswithinthe Regional Group Continental Europe (RG CE) aredirectly (synchronously) interconnected • Strong interdepenence and supra-regional importanceoftheoverallsystemstability • Basis of international Cooperation: • „Operation Handbook“ of ENTSO-E (8 Chapters, so called „Policies“) • Bilateral Inter TSO Agreements (ITA) (dataexchange, businesscontacts/SPOCs, severalsettings, bilateral obligations) • Common Simulator Sessions • Regular, international meetingsforcoordination(ENTSO-E, bilateral, inter-disciplinarygroups) ENTSO-E members: 41 Transmission System Operatos (TSOs) from 34 countries ~ 500 mil. people Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
Structure of ENTSO-E with several working/subgroups The structure of ENTSO-E reflects the complexity of the TSOs‘ topics! Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
UCTE System-Split 04.11.2006 The History of the „Operation Handbook“ Volatilities of Market and Renewable Energies „Dry“ Summer 2005 withoutages and disturbances in GB, FR, GE, … The „proved but old“ rules of securesystemoperationhadtobeadapted: • Agreed (common) standards • Unification • Legallybinding Italy – Blackout 28.09.2003 Summer 2002 in Scandinavia (Supply for peakloadsince 1996 onlyby Demand Side Response) Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
Common security standards in Europe –the Operation Handbook of ENTSO-E RG CE (Continental Europe) Agreement to comply by signing a „multi-lateral agreement“ (MLA) • Load-Frequency Control and Performance • Scheduling and Accounting • Operational Security • Co-ordinated Operational Planning • Emergency Operations • Communication Infrastructure • Data Exchanges • Operational Training 8 chapters („Policies“) obligation to comply Penalties up to 5 million € ! Valid only for TSOs within RG CE (Regional Group Continental Europe) Regular checking of compliance by a strict„Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Process“ (CMEP) (each TSO at least once in 5 years; after on-site audit 2 years „protection time“) Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
Simulator trainings e. g. at company „DUtrain“ (Duisburg/GE)(for electricity and gas sector) Source: DUtrain • Up to 30 participants • Different trainings types • TSO-TSO • single TSO • TSO-DSO • TSO/DSO/Power Plant Providers • Possibility to train most of the critical grid systems together with partners (networking!)

Regional Security Cooperation Initiatives(RSCIs Art. 12 und 15 der VO (EG) 714/2009) CORESO= COoRdinationof Electricity System Operators TSC=TSOSecurity Cooperation • Exchange of experiences on inter-TSO remedial actions using state-of-the-art data flows • Share knowledge and expertise gleaned through system monitoring • Develop and implement new multilateral procedures and remedial actions, and thus maintain high system security levels • Develop proposals for improving the functionality of the new, shared IT platform • Operational security & large-scale renewables integration • Development of the EU IEM • Off-shore wind farmson the Channeland North Sea • DC cables across theChannel and the North Sea(UK, NL, BE) Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
(currently 12 TSOs) TSC – TSO Security Cooperation Regional Alarm and Awareness-System (RAAS) CTDS – prinziple GE • Common Tool for Data acquisition and Security assessment („CTDS“) • Daily video conference with participating TSOs, exchange of experience via modern computer systems • Exchange of information via real-time monitoring system (awareness system) • Development and implementation of innovative multi-lateral processes and actions for optimised system stability The awareness system has been approved since 2007 and is improved by continuouscoordination of all participating TSOs within TSC!

European legal rules – “Network Codes” Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
ENTSO-E‘s work on physical security (1) • Working groups CSP (Critical Systems Protection) and CSEG (Cyber Security Expert Group) • Security experts from more than 15 TSOs (out of 41) in ENTSO-E • Working together on improvements, awareness, building common knowledge, exchange of experience, surveys about security issues • Paper regarding “Consideration of HILF & implementation of EPCIP directive” • Getting knowledge about the different views on “High Impact – Low Frequency” events in Europe • Assessing the different stages and problems in implementing the EPCIP directive Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
ENTSO-E‘s work on physical security (2) • Paper for “Risk mitigation practises regarding physical protection issues” • Getting an overview and sharing knowledge about good (and bad!) practises for security measures and risk assessment methodologies • Building awareness about the different threat scenarios in different countries in the ENTSO-E area • Sharing the status of intrusions/burglaries at different TSOs within ENTSO-E • Dealing with the topic “minimum security standards” Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E
