Study: Small flexibility as a contribution to the NetzenGpassmanagement

A new study carried out by Amprion, E.On, Tennet and TransnetBW in cooperation with E-Bridge Consulting has shown that small flexibility can make an important contribution to solving bottlenecks in the power grid. The study explains the conceptual framework for the further development of cross -network bottleneck management in the power grid of the future.

The increasing number of heat pumps and electric vehicles presents the power grid for challenges. At the same time, however, this offers the possibility of flexibly integrating these new consumers into the electricity system and thus contributing to the future system stability.

In order to efficiently manage bottlenecks on the network, the network operators have to work together. The study recommends the use of the market -based redispatch for small flexibility as a supplement to the cost -based redispatch. With this approach, flexible loads can voluntarily and banned to provide your redispatch skills. To enable this, data exchange processes and necessary interfaces between the network operators and flexibility providers were defined.

The study also recommends the integration of the so-called envelope concept to use low-voltage flexibility and avoid bottlenecks. In addition, call processes for flexibility potential were developed to ensure quick and reliable activation if necessary.

The study shows testing options for bottleneck management in the transmission and distribution network and recommends the start of a pilot phase. This phase is intended to test the advantages and practical feasibility of the market -based redispatch under real conditions. However, adjustments to the regulatory framework are also required for a smooth integration of the potential into bottleneck management.

The flexibility potential of small consumers and savings are currently not being exploited, although they will play a major role in security of supply in the future. The Federal Network Agency points out that low -voltage flexibility offer significant capacities. It is therefore important to open up this potential and to make it usable for bottleneck management.
