RR Platform Implementation Framework The Electricity Balancing Guideline
RR Platform – Implementation Framework The Electricity Balancing Guideline (‘EBGL’) requests to the establish an European platform for Replacement Reserves pursuant to its Article 19(1) and develop a proposal under an implementation framework: • This proposal was submitted 6 moths, after the guideline entered into force • The platform is expected to Go-Live by end of 2019 Approved by RR-NRAs Main points from the RR – Implementation framework: • The TSOs that are part of this methodology are: National Grid, Swissgrid, REE, REN, TERNA, Transelectrica, RTE, PSE and CEPS • Definition of the RR Standard Product characteristics • BSP and TSO Gate closure time • Types of the bids accepted and formation of the CMOL • Functions that will cover the platform The final proposal was approved on 4 th December 2018 by the relevant NRAs 1

RR Platform – Algorithm optimisation Processing Input data 1. TSO receive bids from BSPs from their local balancing area/bidding zone. Optimization model construction Objectives: • • 2. TSOs put the valid RR bids on the LIBRA platform Maximize Social welfare Maximize inelastic need satisfaction Minimize tolerance band use Maximize desired flow range satisfaction 3. TSOs send their needs and ATC values to the platform. Maximize Social welfare • • V Constraints: Fix bids and need selections Fix social welfare 200 100 200 Maximize inelastic need satisfaction • V Constraints: Fix XB flows -100 -100 Minimize tolerance band use • Constraint : Fix XB price differences Maximize desired flow range satisfaction A ATC= 100 Flow 50 50€/MWh B 50€/MWh A 40€/MWh ATC= 100 Flow 50 B 50€/MWh 5. Communication of accepted offers, satisfied needs and marginal prices 6. Calculation of the bilateral exchanges between balancing areas and TSOTSO settlement. 7. Residual ATC and net positions are communicated to TSOs 5
