Substations

This functionality requires that you have admin access rights. To learn more, go to the Administration page.

Here you can add and configure substations for use with markets and conditional agreements.

When creating or editing a station, the following basic settings are available:

• Name - The name of the station as it will appear in the interface

• Measurement - The type of measurement values to be handled for trading and control

• Activation limit - The power value above which flexibility should be activated

• Availability limit- The power value above which availability should be procured

• Forecast models - The forecasts to be managed for the station

You can also choose whether the station’s subscription direction pertains to output or input.

If the station is to be used for conditional connections, enable the "Activate breach detection settings" option. This will display the following choices:

• Lower limit - Used when monitoring a threshold value, such as for voltage

• Upper limit - The measurement value above which control signals should be executed

• Use existing subscription - Indicates whether the subscription value should serve as the upper limit

• Upper margin - The forecast margin to be applied to the upper limit

• Lead time - The time duration before the operational instance where forecast values should be evaluated for control

• Connected resources - The customer resources to be controlled by the station’s breach detection monitoring

• Limit request principle - How customer resources should be controlled

  • Last In First Out (LIFO) - The most recently connected resource is controlled first, based on the resource’s configured connection date

  • All connected - No order is applied, and all customer resources are controlled simultaneously

• Forecast model - The forecast to be used for breach detection monitoring

• Evaluate forecast - Indicates whether a forecast should be used for breach detection monitoring (cannot be combined with LIFO)

• Evaluate actual - Indicates whether actuals measurement should be used for breach detection monitoring
