Registration for SGAM Workshop - TSO Coordinates (27th April 2018)

Based on stakeholder feedback that we received through the consultation on the Commercial Principles for Contracted Flexibility last year, the ON project made a decision to include the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) modelling of 2 additional Worlds in the 2018 programme of work – TSO Coordinates World and Hub (Independent Coordination) World.

As a reminder, SGAM is a standardised tool used in the energy industry for developing and visualising aspects of smart grid systems. SGAM was used by the Open Networks project in 2017 to develop the 3 models outlined in the Opening Markets for Flexibility Report.

In order to progress modelling of the TSO Coordinates World,we will be hosting a workshop on 27th April to seek stakeholder input.

This workshops will be held in London from 09:00 – 17:00 (timing and address to be confirmed in agenda). Following a similar pattern to the SGAM workshops held in 2017, we will be asking participants to identify the various ‘actors’ and the communication links between them for the 8 DSO functions.

We are looking for diverse representation from subject matter experts across the industry to ensure that the various views are fed into these model through the workshop. If you are interested in participating in this workshop, please register by COB 13th April 2018.

If you have expertise in a particular DSO function or functions, please let us know by emailing opennetworks@energynetworks.org. An agenda and supporting information will be shared before the workshop.

We kindly request that trade associations discuss this with their members and coordinate participation as we have limited capacity and would like to give everyone the opportunity to participate.
