Ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning is a key com­po­nent of the safe and effi­ci­ent ope­ra­ti­on of trans­mis­si­on grids. It forms the basis for the short- and medi­um-term plan­ning and con­trol of the power sys­tem and ensu­res that grid capa­ci­ties are used opti­mal­ly and risks are iden­ti­fied at an ear­ly stage. In Ger­ma­ny, ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning is beco­ming par­ti­cu­lar­ly important, as the expan­si­on of rene­wa­ble ener­gies is making the power sys­tem incre­asing­ly decen­tra­li­zed, vola­ti­le, and com­plex. The inte­gra­ti­on of wind and solar ener­gy requi­res pre­cise and fle­xi­ble plan­ning to ensu­re sys­tem secu­ri­ty and grid stability. 

This trai­ning pro­vi­des a com­pre­hen­si­ve under­stan­ding of the chal­lenges of ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning, inclu­ding the rele­vant time hori­zons and spe­ci­fic tasks such as con­ges­ti­on manage­ment. In addi­ti­on, natio­nal pro­ces­ses in Ger­ma­ny are exami­ned in order to under­stand the regu­la­to­ry and ope­ra­tio­nal frame­work con­di­ti­ons. The trai­ning is aimed at pro­fes­sio­nals, care­er star­ters, and con­sul­tants who work in ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning or wish to bet­ter under­stand its inter­faces with grid ope­ra­ti­ons and the elec­tri­ci­ty market.

Tar­get groups:

Ener­gy sup­pli­ers and grid ope­ra­tors: peo­p­le who work with trans­mis­si­on sys­tem ope­ra­tors or need to under­stand their plan­ning processes.

Care­er star­ters: new employees, trai­nees, or care­er chan­gers in the ener­gy industry.

Engi­neers and tech­ni­ci­ans: pro­fes­sio­nals pre­pa­ring for roles in the ener­gy sup­p­ly sector.

Con­sul­tants and pro­ject mana­gers: peo­p­le who mana­ge pro­jects in the field of trans­mis­si­on sys­tem operators.

Con­tent:

Intro­duc­tion to ope­ra­tio­nal planning:

  • Importance of ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning for secu­re grid operation
  • Over­view of the plan­ning time horizons.

Capa­ci­ty calculation:

  • Fun­da­men­tals of cal­cu­la­ting trans­mis­si­on capacities.
  • Con­ges­ti­on manage­ment and opti­miza­ti­on of grid loading.

Plan­ning processes:

  • Insight into inter­na­tio­nal pro­ces­ses in Europe.
  • (Sup­ple­men­ta­ry) natio­nal plan­ning pro­ces­ses in Germany.

Prac­ti­cal knowledge:

  • Strengths and weak­ne­s­ses of today’s processes.
  • Under­stan­ding of the inter­faces bet­ween ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning and grid operations.
  • Brief out­look on the future of ope­ra­tio­nal planning.

Targets

This trai­ning pro­vi­des a solid intro­duc­tion to the chal­lenges of ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning, which is an essen­ti­al com­po­nent of secu­re and effi­ci­ent grid ope­ra­ti­on. Par­ti­ci­pan­ts gain an in-depth under­stan­ding of the various time hori­zons and the key tasks of ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning in an inter­na­tio­nal environment.

Spe­cial atten­ti­on is paid to the inte­gra­ti­on of rene­wa­ble ener­gies, as the expan­si­on of wind and solar ener­gy in Ger­ma­ny signi­fi­cant­ly increa­ses the requi­re­ments for ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning. The tail­o­red natio­nal pro­ces­ses deve­lo­ped for this pur­po­se in Ger­ma­ny are also presented.

Kata­lin Di Martino

With more than seven years of expe­ri­ence in ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning at Ampri­on, Kata­lin Di Mar­ti­no is a reco­gni­zed expert in the fields of capa­ci­ty cal­cu­la­ti­on, con­ges­ti­on manage­ment, and redis­patch. Through her clo­se col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with grid ope­ra­ti­ons, she has gai­ned exten­si­ve know­ledge of the con­trol and sta­bi­liza­ti­on of power grids, as well as the coör­di­na­ti­on of mea­su­res to ensu­re grid sta­bi­li­ty. In addi­ti­on, she was invol­ved for more than two years at Ten­neT in the deve­lo­p­ment of the cost sha­ring pro­cess in the CORE capa­ci­ty cal­cu­la­ti­on regi­on and has acqui­red in-depth know­ledge of the deve­lo­p­ment and imple­men­ta­ti­on of Euro­pean pro­ces­ses. She is curr­ent­ly working as a con­sul­tant at X‑impuls AG and, thanks to her exper­ti­se, plays a key role in the imple­men­ta­ti­on of the Cor­Net plat­form as part of the Cor­Net pro­gram. With her expe­ri­ence in pro­ject manage­ment, as a pro­duct owner, and her exten­si­ve know­ledge of the rele­vant data struc­tures, she com­bi­nes tech­ni­cal exper­ti­se with stra­te­gic imple­men­ta­ti­on skills. Kata­lin Di Mar­ti­no con­veys the com­plex requi­re­ments of modern pro­ces­ses in a prac­ti­cal and easy-to-under­stand way.
