Technical requirements: The Solution is a suite of software modules providing an integrated user experience to the shared RSC Services for TSO and RSC Operators. The RSC Services must be in compliance with relevant legislations, and changes to the relevant legislations during the Contract period must be covered by the Contract scope. Initially the Solution comprises 3 major services: Common Grid Model (CGM), Coordinated Security Analysis (CSA) and Coordinated Capacity Calculation (CCC). These services must be supported within the initial releases, but later additional services like SMTA, OPC, Dynamic Analysis or Emergency and Restoration service may need to be supported in the Solution. It may also be needed to support offline analyses by RSC and TSO operators on selected sets of data in a separate environment (Study Mode). The Solution delivered is expected to be partly standard system already developed, and partly new development/configuration. Maintenance and Support must be included in the delivery.

Given the complexity of the functionality to be established within a short time frame, Nordic RSC needs a partnership with strong IT vendors for realizing this strategy.
Through the establishment of this Contract, the Contracting Authority wants to purchase an integrated system enabling Nordic RSC and Nordic TSOs to collaborate closely on ensuring the delivery of the CGM, CSA and CCC services.
