In the energy industry, a concept has been developed for roles relating to the execution of energy supply processes. The roles that have been determined cover certain activities, responsibilities and reporting duties, and they require the appropriate technological communication capabilities. These mandatory roles can also be transferred to a service provider. In such cases, the service provider must be registered with the German Energy & Water Association (BDEW) (market partner ID). With the introduction of the Redispatch 2.0 approach, there will be two new market roles: the Resource Provider (EIV) and the Producer (BTR).
Resource Provider (EIV)
Following the new Redispatch 2.0 regulations, the EIV will play a key role in the transmission of the necessary data between the operator, the direct marketer and the distribution system operator. The role holder will be responsible for deploying the plant, i.e. for planning and implementing the deployment of a technical resource (TR) that is assigned to a controllable resource (SR). He or she will also send the associated schedules.
The responsibilities of this role include: Transmission of initial master data and any changes to these data Non-availability (unavailability) Market-driven adjustments Requests for tolerance-based and demand-based models Changing the balancing model (billing model) Planning data (if using the planned value model) Standardised communication (XML format) Continuous data reporting Producer (BTR)
The BTR takes responsibility for coordinating and determining the loss of electricity production with the grid operator. As such, this role is particularly important for plants that were previously affected by feed-in measures. The BTR is responsible for operating a technical resource. The responsibilities of this role include: Transmission of meteorological data (if using ex post invoicing concept) Determining and coordinating the loss of electricity production with the grid operator Transmission of real time data Standardised communication (MSCONS, ACK) Daily/monthly data reporting
