ANCILLARY SERVICES IN FRANCE
According to the law dated 10th February 2000, RTE ensures ancillary services (voltage and frequency control) are available and negotiates the necessary contracts with the producers. The working security of the power network lies at the heart of the responsibilities legally entrusted to RTE as operator of the French public transmission system. It states: The public transmission system operator shall ensure the balance of electricity flows on the network at all times, as well as the security, safety and efficiency of the network, taking into account the technical constraints to which it is subject. The operator shall also ensure compliance with the rules governing the interconnection of the different national electricity transmission systems (Law of February 2000, Art. 15.) Several mechanisms have been implemented to allow RTE to carry out its public service missions in an electricity market open to competition: · an ancillary services contract, governing: - the UCTE primary and secondary reserves, - and the power plant primary and secondary voltage control reserves, · a balancing mechanism, designed for the UCTE tertiary reserve, · some specific regulations related to reactive energy at the interface with distribution networks, · requirements or contracts without remuneration for black start(the capability to trip to house load is required for large generating units). Those mechanisms lead to a regulated system between mandatory and market solutions. · The ancillary services contract: - ensures no discrimination, transparent rules of allocation and a cost basis, - defines the requirements, the mechanisms of allocation, the remuneration and compensation in case of non respect, - includes a performance checking. ·The balancing mechanism is a tool that works according to market rules, and, through continuous tenders, enables RTE to: - mobilize reserves to ensure the generation-consumption balance in real time, - contribute to solving network congestion, - produce a legitimate reference price which can be used for the settlement of imbalances of Balance Responsible Entities. The cost of automatic controls (primary and secondary frequency control and voltage control) are included in the grid access tariff and the costs of the balancing mechanism are passed through the Balance Responsible Entities. The Regulator approves the rules of the balancing mechanism and determines the pattern for the automatic control remuneration when building the grid access tariff. The authors intend to present the state-of-the-art of Ancillary Service techniques that are in current operation in France.
