Offshore staff
Denmark/Leipzig — Energy2market and Ørsted have worked together successfully to make the electricity from the Borkum Riffgrund 1 offshore wind farm usable as system-stabilizing balancing capacity for the German electricity grid since May, according to a recent Energy2market news release.
The prequalification specified by the transmission system operator TenneT was granted, and the offshore wind farm has shown that short-term grid fluctuations can be balanced with renewable electricity from offshore wind energy.
In addition to TenneT, the Energy2market prequalification concept on which the project is based also convinced the other three German transmission system operators and was approved for all four control areas.
Offshore wind power is entering additional new territory with Borkum Riffgrund 1 as the first German wind farm to also be approved for the provision of particularly demanding aFRR.
