Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the activities of the CIGRE/CIRED C1.C6.37/B5 Joint Working Group (JWG), is studying how transmission and distribution planning scenarios are consistently used to ensure holistic investment decision-making by TSOs and DSOs. The investigation is in the context of growing uncertainty in future energy scenarios due to increasing distributed energy resources (DER), electrification of transport, interconnection, consumer heating, global emissions targets, etc. The C1.C6.37/B5 JWG aims at addressing the following issues: 1) to survey and describe current practices on considering and modelling uncertainties, and risk management in generation, transmission, distribution and demand sides; 2) to survey on transmission and distribution planning under uncertainty and distributors’ evaluation of recommendations on planning under uncertainty; 3) to review the investment decision making processes, for transmission and distribution, in different jurisdictions and how coordination among them is done; 4) to derive joint learnings and recommendations associated to optimal investment decisions under uncertainties – from distribution to transmission and vice versa.
