Area B definition
Examples of Area B in a sentence
Such an arrangement can be unilateral (TSOs of Area B can make use of 100 MW of the reserve capacity of the TSOs in Area A but not vice versa) or bilateral (in which case the TSOs of Area A can also access 100 MW of the reserve capacity of the TSOs in Area B).
In practice this means that the TSOs of Area B can make use of e.g. 100 MW of the reserve capacity of the TSOs in Area A.
The TSOs of Area A now make 100 MW of their own reserve capacity also available to the TSOs of Area B.
However, assuming that in some cases it might be very unlikely that both TSOs need to activate the full amount reserve capacity at the same time, the TSOs of Area A and Area B can ‘share’ part of their reserve capacity.
Figure 2 illustrates the sharing of 100 MW of reserve capacity between the TSOs of Area A and the TSOs of Area B.
