id=\"Mandatory-by-law-since-October-2021\"><\/span>Mandatory by law since October 2021<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redispatch 2.0 is a <strong>legally regulated procedure<\/strong> in which grid operators ramp up or down power generation facilities, energy storage systems, or controllable consumption to eliminate impending or existing grid congestion. Unlike the earlier version of redispatch, Redispatch 2.0 involves not only conventional power plants but also renewable energy facilities, <a title=\"battery storage\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/bess-commercial-and-industrial-storage-solutions\/\"><u>battery storage systems<\/u><\/a> and controllable loads. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why-Redispatch-20-Replaces-the-Previous-Approach\"><\/span>Why Redispatch 2.0 Replaces the Previous Approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expansion of renewable energy and the increasing decentralization of electricity generation are placing <strong>greater demands on grid stability<\/strong>. Electricity is increasingly being generated in locations where it cannot be consumed immediately or transmitted elsewhere. <strong>The goal of Redispatch 2.0<\/strong> is to proactively prevent grid bottlenecks, ensure security of supply, make curtailment more efficient and fair, and integrate renewable energy in a way that best serves the grid. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proactive-Grid-Planning-and-Financial-Compensation\"><\/span>Proactive Grid Planning and Financial Compensation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redispatch 2.0 is based on <strong>forward-looking grid planning<\/strong>. Grid operators analyze forecasts for electricity generation, electricity consumption, and grid load. If a congestion is expected, the grid operator orders measures to be taken: reducing or increasing feed-in, adjusting storage charging or discharging processes, and controlling flexible consumers. The affected facilities receive financial compensation for the mandated deviation from the market schedule.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financial compensation under Redispatch 2.0 is based on the <strong>principle of lost profits<\/strong>. Plant operators are to be placed in the same economic position as if they had followed their originally planned market schedule, for example from the <a title=\"Day-Ahead Market\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/wiki\/a-b-c-d\/day-ahead-market\/\"><u>day-ahead market<\/u><\/a>, had been fulfilled. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grid-Operators-Plant-Operators-and-Direct-Marketers-in-Data-Exchange\"><\/span>Grid Operators, Plant Operators, and Direct Marketers in Data Exchange<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several stakeholders are involved in the Redispatch 2.0 process: transmission system operators, distribution system operators, plant operators, direct marketers, and dispatchers. These stakeholders continuously exchange data on forecasts, schedules, and grid conditions. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From-the-Power-Plant-Fleet-to-Integration-Across-All-Grid-Levels\"><\/span>From the Power Plant Fleet to Integration Across All Grid Levels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional redispatch was limited to large conventional power plants and transmission grids. Redispatch 2.0 significantly expands this approach: it incorporates decentralized generation facilities, integrates renewable energy sources, includes storage systems and controllable loads, and establishes standardized processes across all grid levels. As a result, Redispatch 2.0 becomes a key instrument in the <strong>grid-oriented energy transition<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grid-Stability-Before-Market-Based-Optimization\"><\/span>Grid Stability Before Market-Based Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Redispatch 2.0 affects both grid operations and the electricity market:<\/strong> Market schedules can be adjusted based on grid conditions; day-ahead market prices remain in effect but are technically overridden; and grid stability takes precedence over market optimization. Redispatch 2.0 thus supplements market-based mechanisms, such as the merit-order principle, with grid-side control. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New-Requirements-for-Forecasting-and-Controllability\"><\/span>New Requirements for Forecasting and Controllability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redispatch 2.0 is relevant for <strong>companies<\/strong> that operate <strong>their own generation facilities<\/strong>, use battery storage, or utilize controllable loads. Affected companies must provide forecast and master data, enable controllability, and technically implement redispatch measures. At the same time, new requirements are emerging for <a title=\"Energy management system\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/okean-energy-management-system\/\"><u>energy management systems<\/u><\/a> (EMS) and energy monitoring.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storage-as-a-Tool-for-Alleviating-Local-Congestion\"><\/span>Storage as a Tool for Alleviating Local Congestion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy storage systems are playing an increasingly important role in Redispatch 2.0: They can be charged or discharged as needed, grid congestion can be balanced locally, and flexibility can be harnessed to benefit the grid. As a result, Redispatch 2.0 is closely linked to grid-optimized storage control, load shifting via storage, and demand-side management (DSM). <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distinction-from-related-terms\"><\/span>Distinction from related terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to be confused with: <a title=\"Control energy\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/wiki\/q-r-s-t\/control-energy-stabilizing-the-power-grid-in-the-event-of-fluctuations\/\"><u>Control energy<\/u><\/a> (short-term compensation for frequency deviations), <a title=\"Secondary Control Reserve\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/wiki\/q-r-s-t\/secondary-control-reserve-srl\/\"><u>secondary control power (SRL)<\/u><\/a> and <a title=\"Tertiary control power\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/wiki\/q-r-s-t\/tertiary-control-power-trl\/\"><u>tertiary control power (TRL)<\/u><\/a> (submarkets of control energy), <a title=\"Congestion management in the power grid\" href=\"https:\/\/be-storaged.de\/en\/wiki\/e-f-g-h\/congestion-management-in-the-power-grid\/\"><u>Congestion management in the power grid<\/u><\/a> (umbrella term for measures to ensure grid stability), grid fees and surcharges (price components independent of redispatch), capacity market vs. energy market (market mechanisms for security of supply).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion-Grid-based-control-is-not-in-line-with-market-conditions\"><\/span>Conclusion: Grid-based control is not in line with market conditions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Redispatch 2.0<\/strong> is a legally regulated procedure through which grid operators intervene in power generation, storage, or consumption to prevent grid congestion and ensure security of supply.
