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)
3
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.
4
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
5
Delimitation
• Only electrical power, not gas
• Only duty officers, operations
managers and national dispatchers
(or equivalents)
• Building on existing technical
systems and information structures

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?
8
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.
