Objective
The key objectives for the ELECTRO-NET project are:
- To establish a neutral data representation for generation and transmission in electric power systems, to be used for planning and operations analysis, to facilitate data exchange between and within organisations in the electricity supply industry.
- To create an open system market for power systems software to ease the implementation of specialised applications into existing information systems.
There will be four principal, consecutive, phases in the project:
- Establishing a detailed user requirements specification for HV network data and information exchange.
- Producing an integrated data model based on the requirements for equipment classification and network modelling.
- A software development phase, implementing the new data model; this includes supervisory software, software tools and data translators to the neutral form.
- The demonstration phase showing the project results in realistic applications.
The impact and benefits of the results differ for utilities and software suppliers. Their way of exploitation of the results differs therefore as well. The utilities will incorporate the new standard in their applications. The greater ease of network data exchange between systems and between associated organisations will:
- lead to improved efficiency with substantial savings in time and costs (e.g. for inter-connected studies);
- improve collaboration between the European utilities and encourage joint ventures:
- facilitate benchmark comparisons between different systems.
The adoption of the agreed ELECTRO-NET standard will create an open market in electrical network analysis software which will facilitate the integration of specialised planning and analysis software with their own information systems. These advantages will become available for all European utilities, those involved in the project constitute only the front-line.
The software suppliers will sell the results to other utilities or vendors of applications. Opening the market should provide several benefits:
- It will enable them to interface their application software to the databases of electrical power utilities and major powers users.
- It will ease entry into foreign markets where ELECTRO-NET is adopted.
- In some European countries, it should reinforce the tendency for the major utilities to sub-contract analysis work, since it will facilitate the sharing and access to electrical data.
This should result in additional opportunities for vendors. It will facilitate collaboration between vendors to create integrated systems form complementary products. This should improve European penetration of foreign markets, where packaged solutions should be attractive.
