2nd South East Europe Distribution Systems Operators Benchmarking Study

After very comprehensive and successful first phase accomplished in the period 2014 – 2015, The Consultant will prepare a SEE DSO Benchmarking Study – 2nd edition that estimates for each DSO most important performance indicators during a 3-year time frame 2013 – 2015 (the first phase covered 5 year period 2008-2012). This data will be compiled and used for a comparative analysis to benchmark the performance of the DSOs in the region against one another. Results from the Benchmarking Study will provide the DSOs, regulators, donors, consumer groups and other interested parties a set of region-wide metrics on the extent to which distribution system outages threaten security of supply, an understanding of their route causes, and a comparison of the performance within the region and with other regions in their prevention and restoration of service. It is expected that based on the results of the Benchmarking Study, the Consultant will assist the Working Group to develop a set of recommendations to improve system outage data acquisition and analysis as well as to provide preliminary indications of areas in which the Working Group should engage to improve outage mitigation and service restoration. Working Group members currently include representatives from the DSOs of: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia Serbia. Modelled after the Southeast Europe Cooperation Initiative (SECI) Transmission System Planning Project, the activities of the DSO Security of Supply Working Group will be demand driven to respond to the needs of the distribution companies in the region, with an emphasis on the following deliverables: • Business continuity plans to help electric companies plan for all scenarios such as severe weather events that may impact their ability to provide reliable electric power to consumers ; • Mutual assistance plans to encourage distribution companies to share staff and materials necessary for fast restoration of service after a significant outage ; • Maintaining and sharing critical inventory to ensure adequate supply of spare parts necessary to respond to outage events ; • Emergency procurement systems to allow for rapid procurement of essential equipment in emergency situations ; • Asset management programs to optimize the life of distribution network infrastructure ; and • Benchmarking of best practices. These deliverables will assist the SEE DSOs harden their distribution systems, thereby mitigating potential system outages induced by weather and climate related events. It will also assist them to adapt to climate induced outages by improving their ability to restore service in an efficient and timely manner as a result of weather related system disturbances.
