Article 15 Annual report on operational security indicators
United Kingdom
By 30 September, F1the F2transmission system operator shall publish an annual report based on the incidents classification scale adopted in accordance with F3Article 30(1)(i) of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 as that provision applied in EU law immediately before IP completion day. The F4regulatory authority may provide its opinion on the format and contents of that annual report, including the geographical scope of the incidents reported F5... and any relevant historical information.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The annual reports referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain at least the following operational security indicators relevant to operational security:
number of tripped transmission system elements per year per TSO;
number of tripped power generation facilities per year per TSO;
energy not supplied per year due to unscheduled disconnection of demand facilities per TSO;
time duration and number of instances of being in the alert and emergency states per TSO;
time duration and number of events within which there was a lack of reserves identified per TSO;
time duration and number of voltage deviations exceeding the ranges from Tables 1 and 2 of Annex II per TSO;
number of minutes outside the standard frequency range and number of minutes outside the 50 % of maximum steady state frequency deviation per synchronous area;
number of system-split separations or local blackout states; and
number of blackouts involving two or more TSOs.
The annual report referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain the following operational security indicators relevant to operational planning:
number of events in which an incident contained in the contingency list led to a degradation of the system operation state;
number of the events referred to in point (a) in which a degradation of system operation conditions occurred as a result of unexpected discrepancies from load or generation forecasts;
number of events in which there was a degradation in system operation conditions due to an exceptional contingency;
number of the events referred to in point (c) in which a degradation of system operation conditions occurred as a result of unexpected discrepancies from load or generation forecasts; and
number of events leading to a degradation in system operation conditions due to lack of active power reserves.
The annual reports shall contain explanations of the reasons for incidents at the operational security ranking scales 2 and 3 as per the incidents classification scale F7referred to in paragraph 1. Those explanations shall be based on an investigation of the incidents by TSOs which process shall be set out in the incidents classification scale. TSOs shall inform the F8regulatory authority about an investigation in due time before it is launched. F9The regulatory authority may be involved in the investigation upon F10its request.
