Organisation, roles, responsibilities and quality of data exchange
Article 40
1. The exchange and provision of data and information pursuant to this Title shall reflect, to the extent possible, the real and forecasted situation of the transmission system. 2. Each TSO shall be responsible for providing and using high quality data and information. 3. Each TSO shall gather the following information about its observability area and shall exchange this data with all other TSOs to the extent that it is necessary for carrying out the operational security analysis in accordance with Article 72: (a) generation; (b) consumption; (c) schedules; (d) balance positions; (e) planned outages and substation topologies; and (f) forecasts. 4. Each TSO shall represent the information in paragraph (3) as injections and withdrawals at each node of the TSO's individual grid model referred to in Article 64. 5. In coordination with the DSOs and SGUs, each TSO shall determine the applicability and scope of the data exchange based on the following categories: (a) structural data in accordance with Article 48; (b) scheduling and forecast data in accordance with Article 49; (c) real-time data in accordance with Articles 44, 47 and 50; and (d) provisions in accordance with Articles 51, 52 and 53. 6. By 6 months after entry into force of this Regulation, all TSOs shall jointly agree on key organisational requirements, roles and responsibilities in relation to data exchange. Those organisational requirements, roles and responsibilities shall take into account and complement where necessary the operational conditions of the generation and load data methodology developed in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222. They shall apply to all data exchange provisions in this Title and shall include organisational requirements, roles and responsibilities for the following elements: (a) obligations for TSOs to communicate without delay to all neighbouring TSOs any changes in the protection settings, thermal limits and technical capacities at the interconnectors between their control areas; (b) obligations for DSOs directly connected to the transmission system to inform the TSOs they are connected to, within the agreed timescales, of any changes in the data and information pursuant to this Title; (c) obligations for the adjacent DSOs and/or between the downstream DSO and upstream DSO to inform each other within agreed timescales of any changes in the data and information pursuant to this Title; (d) obligations for SGUs to inform their TSO or DSO, within agreed timescales, about any relevant changes in the data and information established pursuant to this Title; (e) detailed contents of the data and information established pursuant to this Title, including main principles, type of data, communication means, format and standards to be applied, timing and responsibilities; (f) the time stamping and frequency of delivery of the data and information to be provided by DSOs and SGUs, to be used by TSOs in the different timescales. The frequency of information exchanges for real-time data, scheduled data and update of structural data shall be defined; and (g) the format for the reporting of the data and information established pursuant to this Title. The organisational requirements, roles and responsibilities shall be published by ENTSO for Electricity. 7. By 18 months after entry into force of this Regulation, each TSO shall agree with the relevant DSOs on effective, efficient and proportional processes for providing and managing data exchanges between them, including, where required for efficient network operation, the provision of data related to distribution systems and SGUs. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 6(g), each TSO shall agree with the relevant DSOs on the format for the data exchange. 8. Transmission-connected SGUs shall have access to the data related to their commissioned network installations at the connection point. 9. Each TSO shall agree with the transmission-connected DSOs on the scope of additional information to be exchanged between them concerning commissioned network installations. 10. DSOs with a connection point to a transmission system shall be entitled to receive the relevant structural, scheduled and real-time information from the relevant TSOs and to gather the relevant structural, scheduled and real-time information from the neighbouring DSOs. Neighbouring DSOs shall determine, in a coordinated manner, the scope of information that may be exchanged.
