Student thesis: Master's Thesis

Abstract

This thesis examines and compares various Workflow Management Systems (WfMS)
with regard to their suitability for international energy grid planning. The thesis focuses on the implementation of the Common Grid Model Alignment (CGMA) process, initiated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) and contributes to the coordination of European electricity grids.
The CGMA process is a central mechanism for ensuring consistent and coordinated
grid modelling, particularly in consideration of the increasing integration of renewable
energies and advancing digitalization.
The thesis begins with an introduction to the basic terms and concepts of WfMS and
their significance for energy grid planning. The CGMA process is then described in detail, including its phases and its significance for European energy grid planning.
For the evaluation of the WfMS, a criteria catalog was developed that consideres various functional and non-functional requirements. Based on these criteria, several WfMS
were analyzed and compared. The results show that Activiti is particularly well suited
to the requirements of the CGMA process. Activiti was therefore recommended for the
implementation of the CGMA prototype.
The practical part of the thesis describes the implementation of the CGMA process
with Activiti. A prototype was developed that implements the essential steps of the
CGMA process and enables the automation and optimization of these steps. The evaluation of the prototype shows that Activiti is suitable for satisfying the requirements
of the CGMA process and improving the efficiency and reliability of energy network
planning.
