International cooperation – the ENTSO-E 1) 1) ENTSO-E = European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity ● The Transmission Grids within the Regional Group Continental Europe (RG CE) are directly (synchronously) interconnected ● Strong interdepenence and supra-regional importance of the overall system stability ● Basis of international Cooperation: - „Operation Handbook“ of ENTSO-E (8 Chapters, so called „Policies“) - Bilateral Inter TSO Agreements (ITA) (data exchange, business contacts/SPOCs, several settings, bilateral obligations) - Common Simulator Sessions Regular, international meetings for coordination (ENTSO-E, bilateral, inter-disciplinary groups) ENTSO-E members: 41 Transmission System Operatos (TSOs) from 34 countries ~ 500 mil. people AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014

Structure of ENTSO-E with several working/subgroups The structure of ENTSO-E reflects the complexity of the TSOs‘ topics! AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014

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“) AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014

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-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 = COo. Rdination of Electricity System Operators ● Operational security & large-scale renewables integration ● Development of the EU IEM ● Off-shore wind farms on the Channel and North Sea ● DC cables across the Channel and the North Sea (UK, NL, BE) TSC = TSO Security 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 AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014

TSC – TSO Security Cooperation (currently 12 TSOs) CTDS – prinziple Regional Alarm and Awareness-System (RAAS) 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 continuous coordination of all participating TSOs within TSC!

European legal rules – “Network Codes” AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014

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 AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014

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” AUSTRIAN POWER GRID AG Cooperation of Transmission System Operators in ENTSO-E 10. 2014
