SECTION VI BALANCING MARKET SETTLEMENT
CHAPTER 22 NON-COMPLIANCE CHARGES
Article 22.3 Consequences of non-compliance with manual FRR Test Instructions

  1. In the event of a significant deviation during performance of a mFRR Test Instruction by a Balancing Service Entity 𝑒, that is, if the energy supplied by the Balancing Service Entity 𝑒 diverges significantly from the mFRR Test Instruction, the HETS Operator shall impose on the Balancing Service Entity e for the Imbalance Settlement Period, a 𝑡, monthly charge, which shall equal NCTDINSTe,m.

  2. A significant deviation is considered to be a deviation from the Test Dispatch Instruction for mFRR, taking into account the tolerance limits TOLUDTDINST and TOLODTDINST. The deviation TDIDEVe,t is calculated as follows:

    1) For Dispatchable Generation Units and Non-Intermittent Dispatchable RES Units Portfolios:

    1. If the Test Instruction involves activation of the Maximum Available Capacity or the awarded Balancing Capacity for upward mFRR, then:

      TDIDEVe,t=TDINSTe,t-MQe,t

    2. If the Test Instruction involves activation of the Minimum Available Capacity or the awarded Balancing Capacity for downward mFRR, then:

      TDIDEVe,t=MQe,t-TDINSTe,t

    2) For Dispatchable Load Portfolios:

    1. If the Test Instruction involves activation of the allocated Balancing Capacity for upward mFRR:

      TDIDEVe,t=|TDINSTe,t|-(ble,t-MQe,t)

    2. If the Test Instruction involves activation of the allocated Balancing Capacity for downward mFRR:

      TDIDEVe,t=|TDINSTe,t|-(MQe,t-ble,t)

    3) For Dispatchable Intermittent RES Units Portfolios:

    1. If the Test Instruction involves activation of the allocated Balancing Capacity for upward mFRR:

      TDIDEVe,t=|TDINSTe,t|-(MQe,t-ble,t)

    2. If the Test Instruction involves activation of the allocated Balancing Capacity for downward mFRR:

      TDIDEVe,t=|TDINSTe,t|-(ble,t-MQe,t)

  3. The monthly charge to the Balancing Service Entity, e, for month m shall be calculated as follows:
    Αν TDIDEVe,t>0 και |TDIDEVe,t|>TOLUDTDINST×TDINSTe,t, ή
    Αν TDIDEVe,t<0 και |TDIDEVe,t|>TOLODTDINST×TDINSTe,t, τότε

    NCTDINSTe,m=∑t∈mATDI×BTDI×[|TDIDEVe,t|×UNCTDINST]

    where,

    TDINSTe,t

    the mFRR Test Dispatch Instruction received by the Balancing Service Entity e for an Imbalance Settlement Period t,

    ble,t

    the Baseline Load for each Imbalance Settlement Period t, for Dispatchable Load Portfolios and Dispatchable Intermittent RES Units Portfolios,

    MQe,t

    the metered energy of the Balancing Service Entity e reported at the Transmission System/ Distribution Network Boundary for an Imbalance Settlement Period t,

    TDIDEVe,t

    the deviation from the mFRR Test Dispatch Instruction received by the Balancing Service Entity e for an Imbalance Settlement Period t,

    TOLUDTDINST

    the tolerance limit for imposing Non-Compliance Charges on Balancing Service Providers for non-compliance with a mFRR Test Dispatch Instruction, in the event of a positive deviation TDIDEVe,t, as a percentage (%). The above limit may vary per Balancing Service Entity technology,

    TOLODTDINST

    the tolerance limit for imposing Non-Compliance Charges on Balancing Service Providers for non-compliance with a mFRR Test Dispatch Instruction, in the event of a negative deviation TDIDEVe,t, as a percentage (%). The above limit may vary per Balancing Service Entity technology,

    UNCTDINST

    the unitary Non-Compliance Charge for non-compliance with mFRR Test Dispatch Instructions, in €/MWh,

    ATDI

    an increment factor, the value of which depends on the number of Test Instructions in which a significant imbalance was found within the last six months,

    BTDI

    coefficient, the value of which depends on whether the Balancing Service Entity e has awarded Balancing Capacity for the Imbalance Settlement Period, t,

  4. The numerical values of the unitary charge UNCTDINST, the coefficients ATDI and BTDI and the tolerance limits TOLUDTDINST and TOLODTDINST are determined by decision of the RAEWW, subsequent to a recommendation from the HETS Operator. This decision shall be published at least two months prior to the implementation of the new values of the above parameters.
