The study outlines the methodology adopted, which is based on the cognitive work analysis framework, to provide an overview of the most interesting scenarios and to summarise the requirements analysis results. In order to derive required control room functionality, a set of relevant control room scenarios have been identified based on the Web-of-Cells control concept. The authors considered scenarios that challenge traditional control schemes, scenarios that caused major failures (i.e. blackouts), and scenarios that can be expected to appear in the future. For each scenario, information concerning network layout, triggering events, physical constraints, manually/automatic operations, operators' tasks, and relevant analytics have been analysed.4251077enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessScenario-based approach adopted in the ELECTRA project for deriving innovative control room functionalityconference output10.1049/oap-cired.2017.0613Power system controlElectric utilitiesCognitive work analysisControl conceptControl schemesInformation concerningInformation requirementPhysical constraintsPower system controlElectric utilitiesCognitive work analysisControl conceptControl schemesInformation concerningInformation requirementPhysical constraintsElectrical and Electronic EngineeringControl and Systems EngineeringEnergy Engineering and Power TechnologyProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/609687/EU/European Liaison on Electricity Committed Towards long-term Research Activities for Smart Grids/ELECTRAinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/609687/EU/European Liaison on Electricity Committed Towards long-term Research Activities for Smart Grids/ELECTRAFunding InfoThe work in this paper was supported by the European Commission,_x000D_ under the FP7 project ELECTRA (grant no: 609687).The work in this paper was supported by the European Commission,_x000D_ under the FP7 project ELECTRA (grant no: 609687).http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85138696344&partnerID=8YFLogxK
