EV and HP Providing Ancillary Services in the Nordic Region
This report covers the analysis of the electric vehicle (EV) and heat pump (HP) providing ancillary services to the power system of the Nordic region including Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The analysis is to investigate the feasibility of EVs and HPs to serve as demand as frequency reserve (DFR) providers in the distribution power
Reserves and balancing power
To balance these deviations, Fingrid procures different kinds of reserves from reserve markets. Reserves are power plants, consumption resources and energy storages which adjust their electric power according to the need of the power system.
The Nordic approach to market-based provision of ancillary services
This paper presents an overview of the markets for ancillary services, which are regulated and traded differently within and across borders in the Nordic countries. We describe the services provided and their characteristics in terms of definition, participation, contracting approach and duration, selection of offers, and dispatch criteria.

The Nordic approach to market-based provision of ancillary services
This paper provides a systematic overview and an assessment of the markets for ancillary services in the Nordic countries, Norway, Sweden, Denmark (East and West) and Finland. To date, we are unaware of other papers that present a comprehensive overview of the Nordic approach to market-based provision of ancillary services.
Balancing energy and balancing capacity markets (mFRR)
For balance management and frequency maintenance, the balancing energy bids are used in order of price to the extent allowable by the operational situation of the power system. Of the up regulating bids, the cheapest is used first and, correspondingly for down regulating bids, the most expensive is used first.

6 FAQs about [Ancillary services power system Finland]
Are ancillary services regulated in Nordic countries?
This paper presents an overview of the markets for ancillary services, which are regulated and traded differently within and across borders in the Nordic countries. We describe the services provided and their characteristics in terms of definition, participation, contracting approach and duration, selection of offers, and dispatch criteria.
What is the value of ancillary services in the Nordic market?
The report by Berntsen et al (2005) estimates the value of ancillary services in the Nordic market. Statnett uses a planning requirement of 2500 MW/Hz. However, the assumption of 6% static corresponding to a frequency response of 4000 MW/Hz is more realistic in Norway's power system.
How does the Finnish electricity market Act affect ancillary services?
Finland The Finnish Electricity Market Act governs network operations, including system responsibility provisions. Payments for ancillary services are determined by private contracts based on cost recovery. Cost recovery is based on capital costs and “wear and tear” costs from customers via system tariffs.
What are ancillary services?
The TSO evaluates the tenders received and may negotiate with the relevant suppliers. Following the end of negotiations, the TSO awards a contract for the services to be provided. Ancillary services include primary reserves that consist of frequency upward and downward regulating service. (The reserve is part of the obligation within UCTE).
When do ancillary services exercise market power?
This holds true particularly for ancillary services including spinning reserves, regulation and reactive power. Conversely, some experts suggest that the exercise of market power is likely when marginal pricing is used in a market with high demand and low supply.
How does the Danish regulator regulate ancillary services?
The Danish regulator regulates, fixes and monitors prices for ancillary services. A fixed yearly payment agreed to by the TSO and the main power company forms part of a larger, negotiated ancillary service contract containing elements of voltage control, spinning reserve capacity guarantees and standing reserve guarantees.
