Coreso and TSCNET monitoring report Central Europe SOR
Coreso and TSCNET have a long operational history in supporting the regional coordination of operational planning for their shareholders, the electricity Transmission System Operators (TSOs) in Europe. TSCNET and Coreso collaboration started 10 years ago as a voluntary cooperation of the TSOs.
With the progress of the regulatory framework, Coreso and TSCNET were established formally as Regional Security Coordinators (RSCs). RSCs perform services for the TSOs, such as operational planning security analysis, outage planning coordination, coordinated capacity calculation, short-term and very short-term adequacy forecasts, and a common grid model with hourly updates.
2022
Regional Coordination Assessment Report
ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, has published its Annual Report on Regional Coordination Assessment. This fulfils the obligations under Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2017 / 1485. The report was prepared by the ENTSO-E Monitoring and Reporting Working Group using a jointly developed template. It contains the key performance indicators (KPIs) for the services provided by the regional coordination centers (RCCs) and is in turn based on the reports of the European RCCs.
The KPIs were collected using the common pan-European tools and the individual templates of the RCCs. In 2022, the pan-European Common Grid Model (CGM), Outage Planning Coordination (OPC) and Short-Term Adequacy (STA) tasks were operational according to the methodology approved by the regulators.

Interview with Ivana Duraković, Head of Service Operations
What is your background?
What do you do at TSCNET?
Well, I’m leading a Business Unit that helps to provide our services and make sure they are running 24/7 from an operations perspective. We work and monitor around the clock to essentially make sure that all necessary support is provided for Transmission System Operators to maintain operational security of electricity system.
As most of managerial positions, I naturally have a lot of coordination and interaction, internally, with our customers and other RCCs, we cooperate with. So, I do spend quite a bit of time in meetings and try to make very sure, that everything we talk about is also acted upon and executed. I still, after many years working in the TSO world, can find new challenges and consider what we do so incredibly interesting.
What actually happens in the Operations room in the office?
What is really cool there, is as we act like a central place from where our Services are operated. We have access to a lot of information and this is where you get the good and complete view of the mutual connection and interaction between the Services. We are covering quite a broad pallet of technical knowledge and details of processes. TSCNET Operations is definitely one of the places with a great potential to develop technical skills.
There is always someone available to cover our 24/7 obligations and support our customers in case of need.
So, what advice would you give to someone who is considering a career with TSCNET ?
Be open-minded, that is the key thing. This business is so diverse, both in terms of people and the tasks we do. There is so much to learn here, but it takes some time to create the broader overview and dive deeper into the transmission systems world. There is so much knowledge in this house and you really need to embrace it and learn from everyone!
What is so special about TSCNET?
What do you do when you don’t work?
Be open-minded, that is the key thing. This business is so diverse, both in terms of people and the tasks we do.
