In recent years, the complexity of the European energy sector has increased considerably. Transmission System Operators (TSOs) must ensure cross-border reliability and prevent blackouts by fostering closer coordination with Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs). Distribution System Operators(DSOs) face growing challenges from decentralisation, the expansion of distributed generation, and the rise of electric vehicles – all of which demand reliable data exchange between local and national systems. The central issue is interoperability: The ability to share timely, accurate, and standardised information to maintain a secure and efficient grid. This is where the Griffin Connector delivers real value.
Intelligent Data Exchange for Efficient Grid Management
The Griffin Connector enables TSOs to exchange Network Code (NC) profiles with RCCs, including network elements, contingencies, remedial actions, and key operational data. It’s built on the Common Information Model (CIM) standard, ensuring a harmonised data exchange across Europe. For DSOs, CIM is equally important, allowing the seamless integration of distributed energy resources and local grid data without costly custom adaptations. In both cases, the Griffin Connector combines automation with CIM-based interoperability, replacing fragmented processes with a transparent and reliable flow of information.
One Data Language for All Grid Operators
Ultimately, the Griffin Connector is more than a technical tool. By adopting CIM, it ensures that TSOs and DSOs speak the same “language” of data, enabling smoother collaboration across organisations and borders. It strengthens cross-border reliability and supports the management of increasingly dynamic grids. Its greatest value lies in enhancing security, flexibility, and resilience across the entire energy chain, making it an essential component of modern grid management.
