When frequency deviations occur, e.g. in consequence of a power plant outage, the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) intervenes automatically within seconds in the entire synchronous area to restore the balance between supply and demand. The FCR, also known as primary control reserve, is the first response to frequency disturbances.
Definition. mFRR is the manual Frequency Restoration Reserve that helps to stabilize the frequency of the electricity grid. In most countries the TSO (Transmission System Operator) is responsible for its procurement and activation. The mFRR (also R3 or tertiary reserve) helps to restore the required grid frequency of 50 Hz (or in some countries
What does utility frequency mean? Definition. It is well-know that household alternating current (AC) in Germany and Europe has a frequency of 50 Hertz (Hz), while other parts of the world run on 60 Hz.
Was ist Primärregelleistung (PRL)/ Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR)? Definition. Um die Normalfrequenz von 50 Hertz im bundesdeutschen Stromnetz jederzeit halten zu können, benötigen die vier deutschen Übertragungsnetzbetreiber ein Werkzeug, das unvorhergesehene Schwankungen in Sekundenschnelle ausgleichen kann.
Definition. As in other European countries, transmission system operator Elia monitors the balance of the Belgian grid. It requires each Balancing Responsible Party (BRP) to maintain a balanced portfolio. In concrete terms, this means that the offtake and injection in its portfolio must be balanced every quarter of an hour, taking into account

mFRR is the manual Frequency Restoration Reserve that helps to stabilize the frequency of the electricity grid. In most countries the TSO (Transmission System Operator) is responsible for its procurement and activation. The mFRR (also R3 or tertiary reserve) helps to restore the required grid frequency of 50 Hz (or in some countries of 60 Hz). This tertiary control reserve intervenes when there are longer lasting deviations in the power grid that cannot be resolved solely by the other upstream balancing services (FCR or aFRR).
mFRR must be, according to the guidelines proposed by the European Network of Transmission System Operators of TSO in Europe (ENTSO-E), fully deployable after 12.5 minutes and has a minimum duration period of 5 minutes. Different auctions determine which Balancing Service Provider (BSP) holds back capacities and/or delivers the reserve in case of imbalances for each quarter hour.
The tendered volumes are specified by the TSOs and are based on their needs as well as on historical data. In Germany, for example, tendered volumes have tended to fall over the years.Further, for aFRR and mFRR there is positive and negative balancing capacity. Negative balancing capacity is activated when generation exceeds consumption. In contrast, the TSOs need positive balancing capacity for periods when generation is low and consumption is high.
Also in most countries there are two kinds of remuneration for the BSPs: one for keeping capacity available (capacity remuneration or capacity price) and one for actually activating capacity (balancing energy remuneration or energy price). The capacity remuneration is therefore a standby payment for the provision of capacity that in case of imbalances must be available within the set time frames of the mFRR reserve. The balancing energy remuneration or activation remuneration is the compensation for the actual delivery of the reserves.
Today, in European countries that have a liberalized and open balancing energy market, mFRR is tendered on national trading platforms that are organized by the national TSOs. On those platforms, market participants which are cleared by the TSOs to participate in the balancing market, bid the balancing energy volumes that they have in their portfolios. The rules of the mFRR auction are still different from country to country, e.g. gate closures.To further ease the European harmonization of mFRR procurement, the ENTSO-E defines a standardized mFRR product for bids on the harmonized European balancing markets. The TSOs proposed the following characteristics in their implementation framework:
While those characteristics shall be standardized, others remain within the responsibilities of the countries. Like for example:
Besides the characteristics mentioned above, there are also foreseen guidelines for variable characteristics that each bid provided to the platform needs to have:
Most markets that have already allowed renewables or aggregators to provide mFRR saw a drop in costs. This is partly because increased competition led to lower prices to have a chance of gaining a place on the merit order list.A major milestone in achieving a market integration of RES plants in the mFRR markets is the drop of the minimum quantity in some countries to participate in the auctions and the opening of the market to aggregators (Virtual Power Plants) that bundle smaller decentralized assets, which are otherwise too small to take part in the market.
What is expected after the full implementation of MARI? When looking at the already existing European balancing cooperations, a general decrease in costs for the balancing services is likely. Those cooperations have been able to achieve cost savings in the triple-digit million range per year.

Um die Normalfrequenz von 50 Hertz im bundesdeutschen Stromnetz jederzeit halten zu können, benötigen die vier deutschen Übertragungsnetzbetreiber ein Werkzeug, das unvorhergesehene Schwankungen in Sekundenschnelle ausgleichen kann. Dieses Werkzeug ist die Primärreserve (auch: „Primärregelleistung", abgekürzt PRL) oder vom Verbund der zentraleuropäischen Übertragungsnetzbetreiber ENTSO-E („European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity") bezeichnete Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR), die innerhalb von 30 Sekunden verfügbar sein muss, um einen Stromausfall verhindern zu können. Somit ist die Primärreserve die erste zu aktivierende Regelenergieart und die unmittelbare Maßnahme auf eine Abweichung der Netzfrequenz in unzulässigem Betriebsbereich.
Da durch die Primärregelleistung vor allem kurzfristige Laständerungen abgefedert werden sollen, muss die gesamte Angebotsleistung innerhalb von maximal 30 Sekunden vollständig erbracht werden und für mindestens 15 Minuten durchgehend zur Verfügung stehen.
