The purpose of the methodology is to describe the requirements and procedures for the preparation of the so-called Individual Grid Model (IGM) by each individual transmission system operator, which will facilitate the calculation of cross-border capacities and operational security analyses. Target time-frames subject to these models are: “D-2”, ”D-1” and “ID”. In individual grid models (IGM) the elements of the transmisison system have to be modelled on the 220 kV or higher voltage levels. For the preparation of IGM models, generation forecast, forecast of load and planned outages for the target date must be considered. ELES already considers and uses the requirements of the methodology at the preparation of “D-2”, ”D-1” and “ID” models. Until now, model preparation and consideration of input data was left to the judgement of each individual system operator, the new methodology lays down detailed standards that must be considered by all system operators.

With current models, ELES already fulfils the methodology requirements, therefore, additional harmonisation of our current processes is not required with regard to the proposed methodology.

The GLDPM methodology is closely connected with the CGM methodology, since it stipulates the requirements and procedures with regard to input data for the preparation of IGM models. The methodology lays down a requirement that all generators connected to the 220 kV level or higher voltage levels, must be modelled in detail in the IGM model. Other generators on lower voltage levels can be modelled on an aggregate basis. Production units, modelled in detail and aggregated, must be separately modelled with regard to the primary energy source.

The methodology also determines that all loads connected to the 220 kV level or higher must be modelled in detail. Other loads are modelled as aggregated loads. Because the Slovenian transmission system has no loads that would be directly connected to 220 or 400 kV voltage level, loads are modelled as the aggregation by individual substations. The connecting point in the model as well as active and reactive power must be provided for such loads.

This methodology does not bring significant changes for ELES in already established daily processes.
