push supplier and inspection and repair provider AgroEnergy has been recognized by grid operator TenneT as a Congestion Service Provider ( CSP ) . This makes AgroEnergy a recognize provider in offering over-crowding direction services for its client . AgroEnergy thus strengthens its position as a flexprovider for horticulture .
Congestion managementCongestion direction is a all important concept in the energy industriousness that concern to the management of overload or over-crowding in vim networks . With the maturate integration of renewable energy sources , such as solar and wind power , and the upgrade of electric heating and electric vehicles , the complexness of energy distribution is increasing . It is becoming more and more challenging in the energy transition because of the unevenness and capriciousness of these unexampled sources and demand shape .
" Congestion direction includes strategy and applied science that help organise Department of Energy flows expeditiously , optimise load on the power system , and keep stability , " say Chris Feijen , Head of Energy Management at AgroEnergy . " Successfully managing congestion is lively to maintain a true and lively energy infrastructure during the modulation to a more sustainable energy supply and to guarantee the supplying of electricity to both households and company . "
The role of the CSPA CSP acts as an go-between , independent of other party , mediate between the power grid hustler and large commercial enterprise client . In doing so , a CSP provides congestion management service on behalf of one or more customers . For AgroEnergy , this mean that if a plantsman has the ability to practice flexibility , such as solar big businessman , turning off or on LED ignition , oestrus pump or e - boiler , or energy storage , the CSP can set bid on behalf of these growers when the power grid wheeler dealer needs more or less superpower .
GOPACS pilotGOPACS represents the Dutch storage-battery grid operator congestion management platform . The goal of GOPACS is to minimize congestion in the electricity grid while paying attention to the unique power grid states of the grid operator and keep the interior electrical energy grid Libra the Balance . Although GOPACS itself is not a trading weapons platform , it does use the already exist Department of Energy trading platforms of ETPA and EPEX SPOT . Here , purchase and sales orders are consolidate .
Orders that do not right away touch the trading political platform but are useful for over-crowding resolution are passed to GOPACS . When these orders carry location - specific data and incontrovertibly impart to congestion control in the office grid , the grid operators reimburse the difference between bid and ask price ( the spread ) . This facilitates pair and reduces over-crowding without disrupting the stability of the Dutch electrical energy grid .
With the CSP approval obtained , AgroEnergy is begin a pilot film to see if offer whippy power through GOPACS make gain chance for customer . " Through serve such as exigency power and soon control power , AgroEnergy already has many customers benefiting from the increasing demand for elastic power . By exploring whether GOPACS offers those same opportunities , we continue to further develop our proposition to avail growers keep their energy toll as abject as possible by optimizing investments in sustainable asset such as heat pumps and lead light , " enjoin Chris Feijen .
