RT.3a : Organisation of grid operation
Convener :
Markus Zdrallek, Wuppertal University, Germany
Scope:
In the past years grid operation processes (maintenance, fault clearance etc.) and their organisational schemes have faced rapid changes due to several reasons. On the one hand grid regulation coming along with massive reduction of grid fees forces grid operators to increase the operational efficiency permanently. On the other hand new IT-tools and technologies like Workforce Systems or Distribution Management Systems have been established.
The round table gives an overview of the state of the art of modern grid operation in Europe. Advantages and disadvantages of different organisation schemes as well as the influence of new technologies and IT-tools on grid operation are discussed.
Panelists :
Dr. Peter Birkner, RWE Rhein-Ruhr Netservice, Germany
Juraj Sabol, Head of Management IT and Telco, Slovakia
Marc Bussieras, ERDF, France
Giorgio Bizzarri, Enel Distribuzione, Italy
RT.3b : Smart Grid Protection
Convener:
Ignaz Hübl, KELAG Netz GmbH, Austria
Scope :
Smart Grids and Distribution Generation becomes more important in the future. This is also a chellenge for Grid Protection and load control in MV and LV Grids.
New performance of protection equipment in MV and LV Networks combined with communication will be discussed.
One hand, the round table gives an overview of the existing situation but also a glimpse into the future.
Panelists:
- Florian Romanens, BKW FMB Energie AG, NetzeCH-3072 Ostermundigen, Switzerland
- Alberto Cerretti, ENEL, Italy
- Wu Guopei, Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau Guangdong Power Grid, China
- Andre Smit, Siemens AG, USA
RT. 3c : Communication & data security
Convener :
André Suhr, Siemens (Germany)
Scope :
The extent of the automation within energy distribution networks is characteristic for the upcoming Smart Grid. Communication between certain grid components becomes more and more important. Topics of this round table will be:
• Which threat scenarios are new with Smart Grid?
• Which technologies and communications of a Smart Grid are supposed to be most critical and need special consideration?
• How significant will be wireless communication in future?
• How important is the communication via public networks?
• What are technical risks of the new communication technologies? What are mitigation strategies?
• What are the experiences of the participants of this discussion?
• Future perspective: How about communication and security of distribution networks in 10-15 years? Which changes are expected? Which technologies are expected to become obsolete? Which technoligies will be most significant?
Panelists :
Wim D'Hondt, Accenture, The Netherlands
Miguel Areias, EDP, Portugal
Iiro Rinta-Jouppi, Vattenfall, Sweden
