Congestion Management in Germany -
The Impact of Renewable Generation on Congestion Management Costs (Kunz 2011)
- National congestion management is not sufficient to ease all network congestion
- Even topology optimisation cannot completely eliminate the need for re-dispatching power plants
- Even topology optimisation cannot completely eliminate the need for re-dispatching power plants
- Integration of higher RES shares and proposed power plant investments reduce system dispatch costs, but increase the need for congestion management
- Change of market design and congestion management regime results in benefits and reduces the need for transmission expansion
