SECTION V BALANCING ENERGY MARKET
CHAPTER 16 MANUAL FRR PROCESS
Article 16.4 Manual FRR Dispatch Instructions
  1. The results of executing the mFRR Process include the activation volumes of the upward and downward Balancing Energy Offers from the Balancing Energy Entities that are used to issue Dispatch Instructions to the Balancing Service Entities, in order to achieve balance in the Hellenic Electricity Transmission System. No Dispatch Instructions shall be issued if the volume of upward or downward Balancing Energy Offer activated by the manual FRR Process falls below a specific a limit. This limit is calculated as ¼ of 2% of the Maximum Net Capacity for Dispatchable Generating Units and as ¼ of 2% of the dispatchable capacity for Dispatchable Load Portfolios or Dispatchable RES Units Portfolios. These quantities which are calculated as 2% of the Maximum Net Capacity for Dispatchable Generating Units and as 2% of the dispatchable capacity for Dispatchable Load Portfolios or Dispatchable RES Units Portfolios, shall be rounded to a whole number. The above limit is assigned values from 0.25MWh to 1MWh. In cases where this limit is calculated to be less than 0.25MWh, it is assigned the value 0.25MW and in cases where it is calculated to be greater than 1MWh it is assigned the value 1MWh.

  2. The HETS Operator shall issue Dispatch Instructions to the Balancing Service Entities for each mFRR Time Unit, in accordance with the results of the mFRR Process.

  3. Each subsequent Dispatch Instruction shall replace each preceding one, as far as the same mFRR Time Unit is concerned.

  4. In emergency situations, the HETS Operator may issue Dispatch Instructions to a Dispatchable Generating Unit (with the agreement of the Balancing Service Provider) in order to operate at a capacity greater than the Maximum Net Capacity, as specified in its Registered Characteristics. In that case, there shall be no additional fee for the Dispatchable Generating Unit.

  5. In the event that the HETS Operator issues Dispatch Instructions that differ from the result of the mFRR resolution, the HETS Operator shall submit a report to the RAEWW justifying the choice of Balancing Service Entities selected to cover the imbalance in the HETS. The report shall be submitted for each month, within one (1) month from the end
    of the month to which it refers.

  6. The Balancing Service Entities that are selected to provide Balancing Energy shall have the obligation to follow the Dispatch Instructions issued by the HETS Operator that concern the chosen quantities and the time period.

  7. The HETS Operator may issue Dispatch Instructions to activate mFRR Balancing Energy Offers for non-balancing purposes, and Test mFRR Dispatch Instructions.
