Introduction Law, Regulation, Network Codes, Standards are existing ways to set rules in the electric world. But are they appropriate to support an epoch-marking change of paradigm ?

A given “transition vehicle” might support the evolution of a specific area of electric system management (connection, access, etc.) and not the others as well. Not all “transition vehicles” match the desired requirements for the perfect one. Neither all them have same strength and weaknesses.
Theoretical results
Proposed Methodology Methodology includes evaluation of: a) dimensions of the process b) prescriptive instruments (the “transition vehicles”) c) relevance of dimensions with regard to the specific content of system transition d) design of optimized combined approaches to the process according to the strengths and weaknesses of different instruments and to their relevance.
The theoretical adequacy of each transition vehicle to each area of system management is resumed in the table below, where: • “A” means “appropriate” • “I” means “inappropriate” • “a + 6” means “appropriate in combination with 6.”. Connection

Example: the case of RfG The process of drafting of “Requirements for Generators” shows in its history some weak points (lack of consensus, poor involvement of stakeholders, etc.) which could have been foreseen ex ante simply by analyzing the process as it as been designed.
Conclusions Approaching the process of changing the paradigm in electrical systems in a scientific way is possible. By using appropriate models of the decision-making process the best transition vehicles can be chosen. CIRED 2015 poster session – paper n° 0627 – session n° 6
