Main question: Comparison of system costs without
congestion management…

…with system costs with congestion management
> Invest in local flexibility (Demand Side Management or storage) in some
cases
> Deploy this flexibility on demand side to manage congestion

New mechanisms must ensure optimisation of network
capacity
> Results mean that the optimal network capacity is not always at the level of
the maximum uncontrolled peak – adding flexibility can reduce costs
> This means there must be a regulatory mechanism that helps to reach this
optimum
> This is a dynamic process

Framework for overall
optimisation must be
established.

Congestion management can be an
effective way to lower system costs

This means however that flexibility
must be controlled by an entity
that can tap into both revenue
streams – and choose the optimal
deployment at any time

Conclusions
> Congestion management reduces the overall system costs
> It reduces generation costs
> To realise the lower system costs the regulatory framework must be
designed so that congestion management services are rewarded and these
revenues can be combined with other – system related – revenues
