Training & Certification

RCC operators must be trained and certified before performing any regulated tasks to ensure qualified experts support TSOs in the operation of the European power system.

In this context, for traceability and transparency reasons, RCCs harmonise their training activities to promote access to the same level of knowledge and expertise across all RCCs. At the same time, dedicated training modules secure the quality of RCC-regulated tasks. Finally, because all six European RCCs co-create the training, it stimulates inter-RCC learning –TSOs may also adopt modules if they prove to be beneficial to their operations.

Regional Restoration

In case grid incidents occur, TSOs rely on their Defence & Restoration plans to restore power as efficiently and effectively as possible.

While managing the grid is a TSO responsibility, they can request assistance from RCCs to support coordination and optimisation of grid restoration.

Post-Operation and Post-Disturbance Analysis

Whenever grid incidents affect the Eu transmission network, they are ranked according to their severity using the EU Incident Classification Scale.

For scale 2 (extensive incident) and 3 (major incident), we support the TSOs with the investigation and reporting, including recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Sizing of reserve

When supply can’t meet demand, TSOs can revert to back-up electricity generation called reserve capacity.

As an RCC, Coreso calculates the amount of reserve capacity for the TSOs, so they can efficiently and safely offer this electricity to the market whenever necessary.

Regions: Central and South-West Europe SORs.

Procurement of balancing capacity

The electricity network operates on a fixed frequency level, which can deviate whenever supply and demand are not aligned. In these cases, service providers offer capacity to TSOs to restore balance on the network.

Coreso supports TSOs to determine on regional basis the amount of balancing capacity that needs to be procured,while minimising the costs of procurement.

Inter-TSO Settlement

Often, TSOs exchange electricity with each other as a way of keeping supply and demand balanced.

To avoid congestion on the electricity network, we help TSOs – on their request – to monitor and analyse power flows so they can determine which costly or non-costly remedial actions are necessary to keep the grid safe. We also support them to co-create the rules and costs for exchanging energy with each other.

Maximum Entry Capacity

How much electricity can one country import from another country?

That’s what we calculate, for each TSO separately, with the Maximum Entry Capacity task. The goal is to provide recommendations to optimise the use of the current infrastructure and enhance cross-border electricity flows.

Ten-Year Network Development Plan

We assist TSOs by identifying needs for new transmission capacity and upgrading existing transmission capacity.

As such, we contribute to ENTSO-E’s Ten-Year Network Development Plan that outlines a European-wide vision of the future power system, including its further development, resilience and cost-effectiveness of the energy transition.
