EG3 Introduction, Tasks & scope of work
 Scope of work





Expected benefits from Smart Grids for their own organisation
Smart Grids features provided by their own organisation
Smart Grids features needed from other actors;
Defined decision criteria for the deployment of specific Smart Grids features;
Roles & responsibilities within their organisation relating to Smart Grids
deployment;
 Anticipated (or already identified from current/previous Smart Grid
deployment) interfaces and interaction with other actors in the electric power
supply chain required for Smart Grids deployment
 The key deliverables
 Development of recommendations on the roles and responsibilities of all
involved actors in the implementation of Smart Grids
 Definition of criteria and recommendations for the funding of Smart Grids
deployment

Interfaces & Interactions 1/2
 Electric Supply Chain:
 Importance of the interaction between TSO and DSO
 DSO interacting more frequently than today with TSOs, consumers
and generator
 Storage:
 include electrical battery connected to the grid
 Interface between DSO and « Storage Owners »
 Interface & interaction relation to Smart Metering (following 3rd
Electricity Directive)
 More flexible products:
 higher flexibility and volatility in the electricity supply chain
Most of roles & responsabilities are within the DSO Domain
5
Interfaces & Interactions 2/2
 Recommendations:
 9 recommendations has been endorsed by EG3
 1 recommandation added by ETSI to emphasize the role of ICT and
Communication Networks…
« Interfaces Recommendation #7: EG3 recommends interfaces to be
specified between either of these entities and communication service
providers:TSO, DSO, Agregators, Grid Users, BRP, Storage Owners.
Theses interfaces are typical user to network interfaces and specify the
agreed service level agreements which have a legal and technical part
(QoS, security level, privacy, etc.)”

Benefits, Criteria and Recommendation for Funding of Smart Grids
Deployment
 Proposed process for elaboration of recommendations for funding
 The EU Smart Grids has defined six priorities for the Smart Grids
deployment in the Strategic Deployment
EG1 has adopted the key elements of this definition, describing them as the “high-level
Smart Grids services”
A. Enabling the grid to integrate users with new requirements
B.Enhancing efficiency in day-to-day grid operation
C. Ensuring grid security, system control and quality of supply
D. Better planning of future grid investment
E. Improving market functioning and customer service
F. Enabling and encouraging stronger and more direct involvement of consumers in their energy usage
 6 Recommandations have been endorsed by EG3

Need new regulation?
 State of play of the EU Task force (expert Group) activities:
findings and roadmap:
1.
There is a need for standardization, harmonized approach to all issues (technical, privacy / data
protection, organisational, cross-issues between energy and ICT, etc); very important:
INTEROPERABILITY
2.
There is no need for new Directives or Regulation but instead a need for harmonized and effective
implementation of the 3rd Package
3.
A range of consumer related issues need to be addressed accordingly, mainly on implementing 3rd
Package, including appropriate market instruments and: easier switching of supplier or energy form,
consumer protection, standards, dealing with environmental issues and putting benefits of that to the
consumers, etc; a particularly important issue is a principle of privacy by design implemented in the
European law (e.g. data minimization (use only data you need for application), deadlines for storage
of the data, procedures of deleting the data, anonimization)
4.
Strengten Support for RIGHT and SMART investment and ensure adquate return
5.
Need to LEGALLY enable TSOs and DSOs to fulfill their duties (also mainly implementing 3rd
package and sometimes correcting national framework)
