Definitions

Energy volume activated, injection point: Energy volume activated by PTS or PDS injection balancing entities

Energy volume activated, extraction point: Energy volume activated by remotely-read and profiled consumption balancing entities

Energy volume activated, exchange point: Energy volume activated by exchange point balancing entities

Energy volume activated, Inter-TSO Balancing Exchange: Energy volume exchanged between TSOs under balancing energy exchange contracts. This mechanism was discontinued in March 2022.

Definitions

Minimal price : Lowest price of balancing energy bids activated downward on the balancing mechanism for P=C balance.

Maximal price : Highest price of balancing energy bids activated upward on the balancing mechanism for P=C balance.

DMO : Mobilisation lead time of the specific balancing bid activated on the balancing mechanism.

DOmin : Minimum duration of use of the specific balancing bid activated on the balancing mechanism.

Definitions

aFRR need requested by RTE : Average value of the French scheduling area control error at 4 second intervals before correction from the IGCC and PICASSO platforms.

aFRR activated for French scheduling area : Average value of aFRR activated at 4 second intervals in France or abroad to cover French aFRR demand.

Volume weighted average price of aFRR activated for French scheduling area : Average of the aFRR activation prices to cover French aFRR demand, calculated based on the Cross-Border Marginal Price (when connected to PICASSO) or the Local Marginal Price (in Merit Order France) at 4 second intervals, and weighted by the volume of aFRR activated for France.

aFRR submitted volume in France : Aggregated aFRR energy bids submitted in France.

aFRR activated volume in France : Average value of the aFRR activated in France at 4 second intervals, regardless of the beneficiary TSO.

aFRR unavailable volume in France : Not Applicable (the concept of unavailable bid does not exist for French aFRR).

Volume weighted average price of aFRR submitted bids in France : Average price of aFRR bids submitted in France, weighted by the submitted volumes.
