The 2015 solar eclipse as a test for the future
challenges
• Successful preparation and cooperation avoiding disturbances
• Minimum cost: 4.2 M€ for additional reserves, cost of a black-out (~450-600 M€ / hour for
Germany)
• Increasing risks: expected RES ramping of 32GW/h after the eclipse in August 2027
(14GW/h in 2015)
Situation Solutions
1 Coordinated security analysis
> TSOs coordinated their assessment of the situation
2 Coordinated planning
> Anticipation of issues> Secured reserves and emergency plans
3 Real-time coordination between TSOs
> Real-time communication between TSOs during the eclipse
> Frequency quality was maintained

The Flexibility challenge
A new role for our networks…
From asset……………………………………..

……to smart optimization of generation and load
56% wind power: End-consumers play an
increasingly important role

You set the right market framework
You build the grid for it
You establish active system management, with active
customers, smart meters, digitalisation
You have a ONE system approach!
