Table 2 Costs/rewards from imbalance charges under German regulation depending on the ADN/network state
From: Make or buy: IT-based decision support for grid imbalance settlement in smarter electricity networks
|  | ADN short: Imbalance < 0 | ADN long: Imbalance > 0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
Overall network short | reBAP > EPEX | (reBAP – EPEX) * imbalance (positive) * negative negative => TN destabilization by ADN leads to cost | (reBAP – EPEX) * imbalance (positive) * positive positive => TN stabilization by ADN leads to reward |
Overall network long | reBAP < EPEX | (reBAP – EPEX) * imbalance (negative) * negative positive => TN stabilization by ADN leads to reward | (reBAP – EPEX) * imbalance (negative) * positive negative => TN destabilization by ADN leads to cost |
