What are the different balancing models?
The balancing model establishes who is responsible for forecasts and how measures are used in order to compensate for the outage. A balancing model must be assigned to every controllable resource, and the operator can choose the balancing model. When making this choice, it is prudent to consult the direct marketing company because it holds responsibility for the balancing group.
There are two models to choose from:
Planned value model Transmission of planning data to the grid operator is undertaken by the EIV EIV prepares forecasts Additional data supply costs Additional accounting costs Forecast model Grid operator forecasts production volumes, as before (with the feed-in management procedure) Lower data supply requirements Currently, we do not view one model as being more economically favourable. We will assign the forecast model to all plants as standard, except for cases where it is compulsory to use the planned value model (e.g. biomass plants and plants that are directly connected to the transmission system). The planned value model also always uses the ex post invoicing concept.
