Nordic Balancing Model Roadmap
The goals of the NBM program for updating Nordic balancing process:
• Facilitate increasing volumes of variable renewable energy in the electricity system
• Facilitate European market integration – common platforms
• Maintain operational security
• Ensure market efficiency and cost-effectiveness
NBM - The problem to be solved and the job to be done
Martin Møller

Main problems to be solved
Nordic Frequency needs to be improved• More aFRR, higher volume and in all hours
Grid Congestions becoming more complex• Better control with flows and clear responsibilities• ACE based balancing, LFC controllers
EBGL and CEP implementation (legal compliancy)• Connection to EU Balancing Platforms• Change to 15 min ISP, new pricing rules…..

…The Frequency is low, we need to activate xx MW up for the next hour
…OK the cheapest bids on the NOIS list are located in NO2, NO5, SE2 and DK1…
….OK, but SE2 has internal congestions, we need to skip some bids, please activate 30 MW elsewhere...
….OK, we will inform Energinet to activate more bids in DK1…

NOISList
49.98 Hz
…From 08:00-09:00 I calculated the regulating price to be xx in NO1, xx in NO2…. And xx in DK2
…I do not agree, because bid no 5 was activated for internal congestions…
Yes but in area SE4, you activated more 10 min later…….
1hour later OK – now we agree the price was x,y, and z

A very Challenging Cocktail is arriving
new tools are needed in order to avoid the headache among the operators
• Nuclear and thermal powerplants are closing• Much more wind• Fast deployment of solar power• Lower bid sizes – more bids to consider • Shorter Gate Closure Time• From 24 to 96 gates per day• New borders and interconnectors• Prices to be published after max 30 min
How to optimise activationsacross 12 bidding zones ?
10
The solution is more digitalisation – and establishment of an Activation Optimization Function (AOF)
New Nordic Balancing Model
AOF
The AOF is the key brick, and the one which generates most of the welfare
The AOF is able to optimize the bid selection, and can handle a very complex optimization problem.
Small bid sizes, more complex and linked bids and a fast calculation of prices
AOF uses 0100100 as input/output, hence other systems at the control center needs to be digitalized as well

How to move from todays practise to tomorrows solution in a safe and economical way
Be careful not to ”destroy” the existing Nordic welfare of +200 mEUR/yearNordic TSO’s join the European Market, when all Nordic TSO’s are ready – not one by one
Huge changes are being proposed - Stepwise approach reduces risks but also creates a dilemmaDon´t do all the changes at the same time, but one by one and always directing towards the target model – reduce the technical risk
Be careful not to create “temporary” situations, with bad market design

Will there be any difference between the Nordic and the MARI AOF – yes and noNordic is in fully control of a Nordic AOF development, and can tweak it to fit specific Nordic interim needs, so it can start assisting the operators already under the present market conditions
• ISP = 60 and 15 min• Gate Closure Time = 45 min• Utilize exiting settlement rules
Operators can learn how to send request to the AOF in a “safe” environment, where the system will not be affected by requests coming from outside the Nordic region
Bid filtering can be tested in a “safe” environment
By this, Market Participants will be gradually introduced to the new activation patterns

Memo on Process for activating products
Jesper Marklund
20
Memo – Process for activating products – overview
• Context: first version published autumn 2019 (link)
− When setting the NBM roadmap, the Nordic TSOs published a memo describing the TSO processes and mFRRproduct changes foreseen prior to Nordics joining MARI.
• Process: update memo when relevant
− As the NBM project continues, the memo can be updated taking into account new information and experience. Hence, the Nordic TSOs plan to publish the first update during the summer of 2020.
• Main updates: structure and detailed information
− The structure is somewhat updated. "Sub periods" prior to Nordics joining MARI are described in relatively high level. Focus is on detailing a number of topics.
21
Memo – Process for activating products – content of 2020 Q2 update
• Introduction
• Current balancing process and product
• Sub periods in transition to Nordics joining MARI
− Preparation and stepwise implementation before parallel operation
− Parallel operation
− Period between 15 min ISP and joining MARI
• Important process and product changes (examples)
− Bid attributes, Period shift product, CIM bid format and other relevant market design features

Steps of target model
Work in progress
24
Which market processes and products are included in the target model?
• mFRR –balancing energy market platform
− Scheduled activation
− Direct activation
− Process for bid filtering and determining locational activations for congestion
management (corresponding to today's special regulations) in advance of each ISP
• Period shift product in Norway and Sweden
− Need
25
Which market processes and products are included in the target model?
• Open questions
− Need for process between Day-ahead market clearing and real time operational hour?
• Purpose: correcting cross-zonal flow (counter trade and redispatching)
• If needed can this be facilitated via XBID / ID auctions or is own product needed
− Need for faster direct activation than standard product?
• With larger incidents, the reaction time, platform time and activation of time of 12.5 minutes can be too slow to
• Many BSP able to react much faster than 12.5 minutes
− Need for product with longer FAT than standard product?
• Some BSPs will not comply with standard product. We need to assess how critical the access to these resources are and for what purposes they potentially can be used
26
Step 1. Preparation for parallel operation
• In control centre
− Testing and training
• New IT tools, new roles and routines, fall back solutions
• Criteria and routines for moving from automatic to manual operation must be developed before parallel operation
• For BSPs
− Electronic ordering established
− New bid format and attributes
27
Step 2. Parallel operation (new business model and 60-minute ISP)
• Purpose
− Giving time for new processes, organization and IT-systems to be used, adjusted and verified, before go-live of 15 min ISP and MTU.
• All activation processes planned for step 3 should be supported
− New solutions not necessarily used all the time, criteria are set for switching between "old" and "new" processes
− The scheduled mFRR activation process with the AOF is running every 15 minutes in this step, when working as intended
• For BSPs
− Mandatory with the new format and attributes for bids.
− Different activation dynamics
28
Step 3. 15 minute ISP and preparation for MARI
• The major shift when entering this step is going live with 15-minute ISP
and MTU
• Nordics are now also fully mACE based regarding mFRR balancing
• The control centres are now dependent on the new IT-solutions,
including new fall-back processes and solutions
• Period shift product functionality is still running but after a settling
period it has to be reassessed if this is still needed
29
Step 4. Connection to European mFRR platform (MARI)
• Move from Nordic platform the European platform for mFRR
− Nordic platform may serve as fall back functionality
• Standard mFRR product shall be fully implemented
30
Parallell Operation
31
Parallel operation – Go-live for new mFRR processes
− In "parallel operation" the TSOs will use the new systems and processes for mFRR – go live for the
new mFRR process
− In parallel operation it shall be possible to fall back to a more manual operation similar to what we do
today – but the new process shall be used as much as possible
− Parallel operation will build trust in new systems. After 15 minute time resolution switching back will not
be possible, and will only be used as fall-back.
As-is – full use To-be – full use
To-be solutions used as "decision support"
as-is and to-be
To-be – full use
• as-is solution – todays balancing processes
• to-be solution – processes and IT-solutions in the new mFRR activation market
• In the parallel operation phase both solution from as-is and to-bewill be used.
− In periods to-be solutions will be in full use
− In other periods there will be used a combination of as-is and to-be solutions.

Automation requires new information in the bids
• Background
− To ensure automatic activation of bids we see that market participants must be able to give
sufficient information about the bid.
• Minimum activation volume, if bid is "all or nothing", start-up cost, location, etc.
• More bid attributes than is used today.
− This also requires a change in format and protocol for mFRR energy activations bids.
− The bid attributes we will propose to support, are attributes that MARI will support, or that do
not impact the use of MARI.
− Details in which attributes to support and implementation plan, will be discussed with market
participants in national reference groups before decided. When it is more clear which
attributes that will be supported, TSOs will update the memo "Process for activating
products".
37
Automation requires changes in electronicordering (1/2)
• The new process for scheduled activation is sequential (first bid selection, then ordering) and
leaves very little time for ordering (30s).
• There will be an increasing number of activations due to smaller bid sizes, smaller bidding
objects and 15 min market period.
• Currently, approximately 2-10% of electronic activations fail. Usually the failures end up with
timeout due to IT system unavailability or missing manual BSP confirmation.
• When an order fails due to timeout, BSP preparation period (or even BSP ramping period)
have started, and it is too late to reorder within the scheduled activation process.
• Failed orders will in most cases generate need for direct activation or use of aFRR, at a higher
cost.
• It is important to reduce failed orders to a minimum
38
Automation requires changes in electronic ordering (2/2) – proposed solutions
• Availability requirement for electronic ordering of bid activation should be stated in the T&C for the
market, e.g. 99 % availability.
− The consequences of not being able to fulfil the requirement should be regulated in the BSP T&C.
− The TSO should implement a scheme for monitoring and reporting of availability KPI.
− Detection of unavailable BSP can be used to filter bids from that BSP.
• Automation on BSP's side is important to avoid timeout due to human factors. Ideally the BSPs should
fully automate activation all the way to the AGC.
• The right incentives for desired BSP behaviour when it comes to availability for activation and reporting
of unavailability or failed activations to TSO is important. "Market development" should ensure that such
incentives are in place.
• Electronic ordering process and message definitions should be harmonised across the Nordics to support
a level playing field and to allow market participants and suppliers to operate efficiently.
− Other aspects of electronic ordering such as alternative channels (web/mobile) do not need to be harmonised.
39
Transition period for new bid formats
• Timeline for the introduction of
new bid attributes.
• TSO will support bids with new
attributes in parallel with
existing bids for a given period.
• Red rectangle indicates
potential period with support for
new and existing bid formats
(but not necessarily using new
attributes)

40
Assumption on bid attributes to be supported (1 of 4)
• Support for minimum activation volume
− attribute: Minimum offered volume
• Support for bids where volume is "all or nothing"
− attribute: Indivisible Bids
• Support for start-up costs
− attribute: Exclusive Bids
41
Assumption on bid attributes to be supported (2 of 4)
• Where an activation in one quarter hour determines if bid are available in next quarter hour
− attribute: Conditional Bids
− Necessary to handle limited activation resources (empty reservoir) and other cases where an activation in one quarter hour determines if bid are available in next quarter hour.
− Needed to automatically adjust bids in QH1 and/or QH2 as a result of the outcome of the clearing during QH0, since balancing energy gate closure time (BE GCT) for QH1 or QH2 already have passed.
• Multipart (Parent/child)
− Child bids must be more expensive than parent bid
• This requirement reduces the use of this. Still discussions.
− Supported in MARI
42
Assumption on bid attributes to be supported (3 of 4)
• Min. duration− If bids are only used for standard scheduled and direct activation, this attribute is not
necessary. But if there will be manual activation where it is possible that a deactivation can be made a "short" time after activation, this attribute is needed.
− Minimum duration longer than 15 minutes cannot be supported in the scheduled process
• Max. duration− This attribute is necessary to allow BSP to send in bids in advance so that they do not need
to update bid if they are activated.
− Resting time− This attribute is necessary to allow BSP to send in bids in advance so that they do not need
to update bid if they are activated.
43
Assumption on bid attributes to be supported (4 of 4)
• Activation type− If bid is eligible for scheduled activation only or for both scheduled activation and direct
activation
• Inclusive− To handle bids from resource objects that also impacts other resource objects ("water way")
• Location/resource object − Information about where the activation will be injected in the grid
44
Other potential attributes
• Available for faster activation / minimum activation time− To be used if we decide that faster activation is necessary
• Not standard FAT− For slower resources that cannot fulfil the standard product requirements, but still can be useful for the TSO in scarcity
situations or in case of local grid constraints
• Not electronic ordering− For resources that cannot be electronically activated, but still can be useful for the TSO in scarcity situations or in case
of local grid constraints
• Available for production shift− For a possible new production shift product
45
Process changes
• Separate GCT for each quarter− Introduced together with 15 min ISP
• Electronic ordering a pre-requisite
46
Standard product attributes that will be introduced before joining MARI but after 15 min ISP
• It is not decided when the following attributes will be introduced. They will be introduced before joining MARI, but probably after 15 min ISP
− FAT 12.5 minutes
− New prequalification requirements (for some TSOs)
− GCT 25 minutes
− 1 MW minimum bid size and 1 MW bid granularity
47
NBM Roadmap – how will we use new attributes before parallel operation
• In a period before parallel operation the TSOs will test the new systems in "shadow operation". If BSPs include new attributes in their bids in this phase, it will be used in the "shadow operation", and increase the value of the testing.
• In the period with "Functional support …" before "Parallel operation", the TSOs will be able to use some of the new attributes also in the existing processes. Some new bid attributes will be less readable to a human and can not always be taken into account before the AOF is in use
Support for existing format and attributes for bids1) Mandatory with new format and
attributes for bids2)TSO use existing solution local MOL and CMOL
TSO use new solution for (local) MOL
1) Technical support for new format and attributes for bids2) Functional support for new attributes for bids
