Frequency regulation ensures grid stability
Critical Infrastructure – Securing a Stable Grid
Depending on the urgency, frequency regulation is divided into three types. Each responds within different timeframes – from seconds to minutes – to changes in the power grid.
Frequency Containment Reserve
Activates within seconds and reacts automatically to frequency changes.
Automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve
Intervenes within 30 seconds to further compensate for short-term fluctuations.
Manual Frequency Restoration Reserve
Is available within five minutes and is manually activated by the transmission system operator (TSO).
Advantages at a glance
Frequency regulation is not only critical to system stability but also economically attractive. It increases efficiency, facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources, and offers operators additional revenue potential.
Efficiency
Reduces transmission losses and optimizes grid performance.
Profitability
In combination with standalone trading, frequency regulation enables additional revenue without the need for major additional investments.
Flexibility
Grid operators can dynamically respond to changes in consumption and generation.
Grid stability
It ensures a stable grid frequency and prevents power outages across entire regions.
Integration of renewable energies
Compensates for the volatility of wind and solar in macro and micro grids.
