- Use of baseline, instead of winning bids.
- Imbalance calculation changed into flexibility verification.
- Calculation of delivered flexibilities and verification of delivered flexibilities in two steps.
- Imbalance fees changed into penalties.
- Invoice out of scope.

1.3. Scope and Objectives of Use Case

ScopeVerification of the flexibilities actually delivered by Flexibility Service Providers.
Objective(s)Calculate actually delivered flexibility as response to activation request. Verify that flexibility delivered matches with flexibility requested. Calculate the penalty if flexibility delivered is less than flexibility requested.
Related business case(s)

1.4. Narrative of Use Case

Short description

Actual flexibility delivered is calculated as the difference between baseline and metered consumption/generation of that Flexibility Service Provider. The verification takes place by comparing the actually delivered flexibility and flexibility requested by the System Operator. Settlement means that a Flexibility Service Provider is asked for a penalty if actually delivered flexibility is less than requested flexibility. Imbalance settlement process follows but is out of the scope of this use case.

1.6. Use case conditions

Assumptions
Market participant baselines (i.e. from any FSP: aggregator, individual consumer, individual generator) have been previously defined.
Prerequisites
For the verification and the calculation of penalties, the values of actual inputs / withdrawals must be obtained through accurate, reliable and certified instruments (metering data). Meter data, baselines and activation requests are needed.

3.1. Actors

Actor NameActor TypeActor DescriptionFurther information specific to this Use Case
Data Exchange PlatformSystemData exchange platform (DEP) is a communication platform the basic functionality of which is to secure data transfer (routing) from data providers (e.g. data hubs, flexibility service providers, TSOs, DSOs) to the data users (e.g. TSOs, DSOs, consumers, suppliers, energy service providers). DEP stores data related to its services (e.g. cryptographic hash of the data requested). The DEP does not store core energy data (e.g. meter data, grid data, market data) while these data can be stored by data hubs. Several DEPs may exist in different countries and inside one country.
Data HubSystemData Hub is an information system which main functionality is to store and make available measurements (e.g. meter data, operational data) and associated master data. Data Hubs are not necessarily centralized in a country or in a region.
System OperatorBusinessSystem Operator means a natural or legal person responsible for operating, ensuring the maintenance of and, if necessary, developing the system in a given area and, where applicable, its interconnections with other systems, and for ensuring the long-term ability of the system to meet reasonable demands for the distribution or transmission of electricity (cf. ENTSOE-EFET-ebIX harmonized role model 2019).
Can be:
  • A Transmission System Operator (cf. definition in T3.3 deliverable), for frequency control, congestion management and voltage control on transmission network,
  • A Distribution System Operator (cf. definition in T3.3 deliverable), for congestion management and voltage control on distribution network.

NB: In some countries (e.g. Germany and Poland), the high voltage network is part of the distribution grid and in other countries (e. g. France and Italy) the high voltage network is part of the transmission grid.

A System Operator can be:
  • A Primary System Operator,
  • A Secondary System Operator.
Flexibility PlatformSystemFlexibility Platform (FP) for System Operators and Flexibility Service Providers that enables the trading of different flexibility products and services. A FP is operated by a Market Operator.

Available to System Operators and Flexibility Services Providers. It is used to support the prequalification, the bidding, the activation and the verification processes, ensuring coordination between activities undertaken by several operators using the same flexible resources. Several national and regional FPs may exist.
DEP OperatorBusinessData exchange platform operator owns and operates a communication system which basic functionality is data transfer.
Data Hub OperatorBusinessData hub operator owns and operates an information system which main functionality is to store and make available electricity (also gas, heat) metering data and associated master data. Can be :
  • Grid Data Hub Operator in the sphere of a System Operator
  • Market Data Hub Operator in the sphere of a Market Operator
  • Meter Data Hub Operator in the sphere of a Metered Data Operator
  • Sub-meter Data Hub Operator in the sphere of an Energy Service Provider
