Methodology for performing the probabilistic dimensioning of FCR in CE synchronous area

Overview

This consultation is based on Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation (System Operation Guideline, SO GL) and concerns the dimensioning rules for FCR in accordance with Article 153 of the same Regulation.

Article 153(2) of the SO GL provides the possibility for TSOs in CE SA to “define a probabilistic dimensioning approach for FCR taking into account the pattern of load, generation and inertia, including synthetic inertia as well as the available means to deploy minimum inertia in real-time […], with the aim of reducing the probability of insufficient FCR to below or equal to once in 20 years”.

The “All Continental Europe TSOs’ proposal for assumptions and methodology for a FCR probabilistic dimensioning in accordance with Article 153(2) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017 establishing  a guideline on electricity transmission system operation” can be found below under the Related Documents, together with the “Explanatory document of the methodology for performing the probabilistic dimensioning of FCR in CE synchronous area according to Article 153(2) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity transmission system operation”.
