Slide 31: aFRR-delivery by wind: challenges
aFRR- delivery by wind: challenges Loss of green certificates in case of downward curtailment Intermittency of wind production / reliability of R2 nominations Curtailment on specific windmill can impact (increase) production of other windmills in the park (windfarm effect) 8 m/s 10 m/s
Slide 32: aFRR-delivery by wind: challenges
aFRR- delivery by wind: challenges Quality of delivered service is determined by both the AAP error and the control error which are difficult to identify Pilot project developed methodology to verify AAP quality under stable wind conditions in case of curtailment (wind farm effect) 32

aFRR- delivery by wind: technical results AAP Infeed Error Elia aFRR setpoint Wind farms are highly flexible (low Pmin, high ramp rates,…) and can follow a set-point • Promising performance of wind farm of Estinnes in providing aFRR- service to Elia AAP quality, both under curtailed and non-curtaile
Slide 34: aFRR-delivery by wind: relevance of forecasting
aFRR- delivery by wind: relevance of forecasting TSOs require a reliable delivery of aFRR- service • Ex-ante contracted aFRR- volume on a wind farm should be effectively available in RT • Correction based on Production forecast observed and expected inaccuracies (unstable clime production conditions
