Enhanced Information and Data Exchange to Enable Future TSO-DSO Coordination and Interoperability

Future coordination and interaction of transmission and distribution operation, planning and development will need to be extended, modified, revised and integrated with regard to different information and data communication technologies. Whole system information and data exchange management and schemes will be required that considers overall power system security, flexibility requirements, stability, resiliency and affordability. By way of example, appropriately detailed representation of distribution systems as required in operational procedures for transmission systems need to be specified. However, such representations will be constrained by computationally demanding processes, intensive information and data management, data confidentiality and cybersecurity issues at both distribution…
