EASE Reply to ENTSO-E Consultation on the Updated Input Data and Assumptions for the Cost-Benefit Analysis for Limited Energy Reservoirs
ENTSO-E has published its updated input data and assumptions for the Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) for the definition of a minimum activation time period (Tmin) for Limited Energy Reservoirs (LER) in Continental Europe Synchronous Area.
The update was requested by CE NRAs to consider recent developments in Frequency Containment Reserves costs and CE power system behaviour. The updated inputs will reflect the most recent frequency data, advancements in Limited Energy Reservoir (LER) technology, and changes in the CE power system. This will ensure a more accurate and up-to-date CBA, leading to a more effective Tmin LER definition that can better maintain steady-state frequency during alert states.
EASE has replied to ENTSO-E consultation on the updated input data and assumptions for the Cost-Benefit Analysis for Limited Energy Reservoirs. EASE stands behind these objectives and believes that a more accurate definition of Tmin LER is essential for the efficient, reliable, and cost-effective operation of energy storage systems.
