Coordination of European Transmission System Operators (TSOs) through Regional Coordination Centers (RCCs) is essential to ensure operational security and increase efficiency in the world’s largest interconnected electrical grid, spanning 40+ TSOs. Two of the leading RCCs, Coreso and TSCNET, launched the CorNet program in 2021 to create a comprehensive IT platform to support all the regional coordination processes.
Several RCC processes are being implemented in this coordination platform such as: Common Grid Model (CGM), Regional Operational Security Coordination (ROSC) and Cost Sharing. Coreso and TSCNET have adopted a modular approach built on the open-source components of the LFE PowSyBl framework for the computation modules supporting these processes.
This session will present the European Merging Function (EMF) of the Common Grid Model service, which consolidates Individual Grid Models (IGMs) from all European TSOs into a unified Common Grid Model (CGM), utilizing PowSyBl Open Load Flow. Following its successful go-live in December 2024, this feature now provides consolidated network representations over multiple time horizons at Pan-European level.
