Motivation TSOs must deal with imbalances in real time Imbalances exacerbated due to increased penetration of intermittent generation Reserves should also be able to cover large and sudden imbalances caused by failures of transmission or generation components. Transmission networks interconnected between different countries Imbalances due to intermittent power increase, so number of unscheduled flows rises These developments increase need for reserves and costs for procurement and dispatch of these reserves As well as need for TSO cooperation Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
Network codes and TSO cooperation Network codes on balancing and reserves have recently been developed by ENTSO-E Currently TSOs are starting up the process of defining the rules of cooperation. A few agreements in place, but nothing has been decided yet concerning sharing of interruptions, cost division, side-payments, transmission constraints, etc. Our research aims at indicating important issues, identifying likely outcomes, when are agreements feasible or beneficial? Paper grew out of multi-TSO considerations within “GARPUR” - an FP7 research project developing probabilistic reliability criteria in transmission Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
Related literature Bjorndal et al (2015). Case-study example on balancing between Belgium and Netherlands Meeus et al. (2005). A more general conclusion, viz. that coordination of European balancing markets done by TSOs should be one of the next steps towards the harmonisation of electricity markets into the EU Internal Electricity Market van der Weijde and Hobbs (2011). Discuss similar issues and quantify the benefits of inter-market benefits using a stylised 4-node network Van den Bergh et al. (2015). Quantify benefits of cooperation and transmission constraints But still lack of understanding of economic efficiency aspects of network codes regarding TSO cooperation on reserves and balancing Reliability criteria impose levels of required reserves without any reference to balancing the costs of reserves and interruptions Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
Our paper Stylized framework, background in network codes, but we abstract from the details Probabilistic model analyses three degrees of TSO cooperation in reserves provision Autarkic TSO reserve provision non-cooperative TSO equilibrium Reserves exchange allows for efficient procurement of given reserve capacities, but not sharing of reserves Reserves sharing amounts to maximising the surplus of the two nodes jointly allows both a cost arbitrage and pooling of reserve needs Show reserves sharing is economically superior to reserves exchange Consider possibilities for cooperation between TSOs Numerical example in order to provide an illustration of the three scenarios.

Model Two TSO zones i = 1 , 2 Need for reserves in Zone i at a certain instant: r i [MW]. Imbalance in real time due to forecast errors of demand, intermittent supply, failures of generation capacity or transmission components Joint probability density function of the reserve needs r i by f ( r 1 , r 2 ) r 1 , r 2 non-negatively correlated and jointly normal with known parameters TSO’s variable of choice is R i [MW], the quantity of reserves procured Reserve capacity costs γ i ( R i ) , increasing, smooth and convex.

Order of events Ex-ante (before uncertainty is realised): TSO i chooses how much reserve capacity R i to procure Ex-post (after uncertainty is realised): In real time the actual need for reserves r i is observed at each node i The procured reserves will be used to cover reserve needs. In case local reserves are insufficient, TSOs will use exchanged or shared reserves, or shed load Side payments - if these are implemented - are made —————– Note: choice of reserve capacity could be for different time horizons, e.g. for an hour, a week, a month, or a year f ( r 1 , r 2 ) will in general depend on the procurement interval and the time to real time operation Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
Autarkic TSO reserve provision Each zone is an “island” - TSO i maximizes: � ∞ � � E [ S i ] = v D i − ( r i − R i ) f ( r i ) dr i − γ i ( R i ) R i FOC: v Pr { r i > R i } = γ ′ i ( R i ) Intuition: reserves are procured up to the point where marginal cost of interruptions = marginal cost of providing that level of reserves Easily seen that the second-order condition for maximum of E [ S i ] is satisfied Optimal level denoted by R ∗ i , a Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
Reserves exchange TSO can purchase part of required reserves in adjacent TSO zone Load-shedding if r i > R i , irrespective of where reserves are procured Exchange of reserves only allows cost arbitrage, not pooling of reserve needs Assume, cf. network codes, that required reserves in each TSO zone are same as in autarky R ∗ i , a Assume TSOs jointly minimize total costs of procurement, subject to constraint on reserves R 1 , R 2 γ 1 ( R 1 )+ γ 2 ( R 2 ) s.t. R 1 + R 2 = R ∗ 1 + R ∗ min 2 ⇒ � γ ′ 1 ( R 1 ) = γ ′ 2 ( R 2 ) R 1 + R 2 = R ∗ 1 + R ∗ 2 Costs are lowest when marginal costs of reserve procurement are equal across zones Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19

Implementation and adjustment The above is a social planner solution, with constraint that interruptions are not shared Also a market implementation if reserve suppliers are combined in one merit order curve and TSOs pay uniform price equal to marginal cost of reserves p ∗ e = γ ′ 1 ( R 1 ) = γ ′ 2 ( R 2 ) TSO1 will pay more than in autarky - TSO2 will pay less side payments needed for trade to be beneficial for both - we’ll return to this issue Disequilibrium situation, since r 1 > R ∗ < p ∗ r 2 > R ∗ � � � � v Pr e < v Pr 1 , a 2 , a TSO1 has incentives to reduce reliability, TSO2 has the opposite incentives Equalising marginal costs of interruptions in both zones with marginal cost of procurement would increase overall surplus Consumers in Zone 2 better off; consumers in Zone 1 lose Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
Reserves Sharing Allows multiple TSOs to draw on same reserves to meet required level of reserves when it comes to operation Allows both cost arbitrage and pooling of reserve needs, including sharing of interruptions if necessary Load shedding only if r 1 + r 2 > R 1 + R 2 Amounts to maximizing joint surplus, i.e. maximizing � ∞ � ∞ � � E [ S 1 + S 2 ] = D 1 + D 2 − R 1 + R 2 ( r 1 + r 2 − R 1 − R 2 ) f ( r 1 , r 2 ) dr 1 dr 2 v 0 − γ 1 ( R 1 ) − γ 2 ( R 2 ) FOCs � v Pr { r 1 + r 2 > R 1 + R 2 } = γ ′ 1 ( R 1 ) v Pr { r 1 + r 2 > R 1 + R 2 } = γ ′ 2 ( R 2 ) Marginal costs equal at optimal levels Costs of reserves procurement minimized as in reserves exchange, but for different levels of reserves and, hence, also reliability Presented at 39th IAEE International Conference, Fridrik Mar Baldursson, Reykjavik University, Ewa Lazarczyk, Reykjavik University, Marten Ovaere, KU Leuven, Stef Proost, Cross-border exchange / 19
