Wind data exchange

Wind data exchange

Since August 2009, the German TSOs provide their wind forecast and near-to-real time data of wind generation to their partners of the TSC. This allows TSOs of Austria, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland to have instantly a better and broader view of the interconnected electricity system in order to better take care of their respective responsibilities.

The European electricity system integrates more and more electricity from renewable energy sources. Particularly wind power is developing quickly in Germany and has a great impact not only on the daily operation in the main control centres in Germany but also on the loadflows and on the system operation of the TSOs in neighbouring countries.

This wind data sharing is a further important step to better manage the growing operational needs with special regard to the integration of wind energy, increasing cross-border trading and increasing electricity transport.
