The 2015 solar eclipse as a test for the future

challenges

• Successful preparation and cooperation avoiding disturbances

• Minimum cost: 4.2 M€ for additional reserves, cost of a black-out (~450-600 M€ / hour for

Germany)

• Increasing risks: expected RES ramping of 32GW/h after the eclipse in August 2027

(14GW/h in 2015)

Situation Solutions

1 Coordinated security analysis

> TSOs coordinated their assessment of the situation

2 Coordinated planning

> Anticipation of issues> Secured reserves and emergency plans

3 Real-time coordination between TSOs

> Real-time communication between TSOs during the eclipse

> Frequency quality was maintained

The Flexibility challenge

A new role for our networks…

From asset……………………………………..

……to smart optimization of generation and load

56% wind power: End-consumers play an

increasingly important role

You set the right market framework

You build the grid for it

You establish active system management, with active

customers, smart meters, digitalisation

You have a ONE system approach!
