Grid stability in the age of renewables
Redispatch 2.0To avoid overloading the power grid, grid operators use a process known as redispatch. This involves specifically adjusting the feed-in from power plants and renewable energy systems when grid bottlenecks are imminent. In such situations, plants are asked to reduce or increase their output in order to keep the power grid stable.
With the introduction of Redispatch 2.0 in 2021, this procedure was fundamentally reorganized. Since then, not only conventional power plants, but also almost all renewable energy generation plants with an installed capacity of 100 kW or more have been integrated into the redispatch processes. The aim is to create a uniform, transparent, and forward-looking system for congestion management in an increasingly decentralized energy system.
Today, redispatch is based on forward-looking planning: grid operators forecast possible bottlenecks and order adjustments to feed-in at an early stage. Renewable energy plants are integrated into a so-called redispatch sequence that takes technical, grid-relevant, and economic criteria into account. For plant operators, this means new obligations—for example, in terms of data provision, forecasts, and communication with grid and operational managers.
Sunnic Lighthouse supports operators of renewable energy plants in the practical implementation of Redispatch 2.0. We take care of the necessary processes, ensure smooth communication with grid operators, and make sure that redispatch measures are correctly mapped and billed. In this way, we help to minimize yield losses and reliably meet regulatory requirements.
Redispatch is now a central component of a stable and sustainable electricity system. With the right operational support, the associated challenges can be efficiently overcome and the integration of renewable energies further advanced.
What does Redispatch 2.0 mean?
Good to knowA uniform system for power plant deployment planning: This is important to note.
All renewable energy systems with a total output of >100 kW are included in the regulation. This applies regardless of previous feed-in management, statutory subsidies, or direct marketing.
Operators of renewable energy plants are faced with a number of obligations under Redispatch 2.0. These include data collection and provision, coordination processes with grid operators, and compensation for lost work.
The entire exchange of information and data will be optimized and power grid operation improved. Redispatch interventions can be used more economically and in a more targeted manner thanks to greater experience and a significant exchange of information.
