Common Grid Model Methodology (CGMM)

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.

In June 2017 ENTSO-E released Common Grid Model methodology as requested in FCA GL on the basis of methodology requested in CACM GL, that has already been approved by national regulatory authorities.
