Power systems require more flexibility based on the high penetration of renewable resources.

Why automating aFRR operation matters?

The key players will be BSP providers managing automatic Frequency Replacement Reserve (aFRR). But a resilient, practical and profitable operation is a challenge for most of the organization.

Key benefits

As renewable penetration grows, power systems require more flexibility, faster reactions, and near‑perfect execution.

This has become a must-have capability in today’s energy landscape.

End-to-end visibility and control

Full transparency on asset management by centralizing all data and decisions on a single platform.

Automated and compliant operations

Fully automated workflows reduce errors and accelerate execution, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements.

.

Human oversight with enhanced safety

Human supervision ensures actions remain aligned with company objectives, while automation reduces unnecessary human intervention and improves safety.

Flexibility and grid resiliency

Maximum flexibility enables innovative business models, while predefined rules allow operations to remain stable and efficient under stressed grid conditions

How NTT DATA helps

01

OT platforms

Collects real-time data from physical assets and monitors the evolution of their variables along time against setpoints. These platforms are able also to modify the setpoints for each device to adjust to merit order or other technical constraints.

02

Analytical platforms

Based on weather forecast, technical constraints, grid congestion and AI, they produce accurate renewable resource availability and defines the flexibility boundaries that can be traded.

Deploy advanced analytics and forecasting

03

Market-access solution

Event-based architecture computes real-time positions, imbalances, and available flexibility to define optimal strategies and automate bid allocation and execution.

04

Settlement solution

Manages dual settlement with markets and customers, ensuring accurate payments, risk allocation, and clear P&L attribution of strategy and execution.

Designing SAP PaPM as a strategic costing engine

Proven impact

Operators must optimize asset performance and market participation in real time while managing regulatory constraints, imbalances, and complex settlement processes.

Results that matter

Operational Benefits

Increased revenues

Up to +20% of revenues based on standard market conditions.

Reduced imbalance costs

30% reduction in imbalance costs

Increased organizational confidence

Greater visibility, automation, and control over operations improve decision-making and strengthen confidence across trading, risk, and management teams.

Expanded market share

Enhanced execution capabilities and faster time-to-market enable companies to capture new opportunities, attract more clients, and increase their presence in competitive markets.

Automation doesn’t replace people.
It gives operators and asset managers the tools, confidence, and visibility needed to run aFRR sustainably in increasingly complex power systems.
