Abstract (english)

The Network Code on Gas Balancing of Transmission Networks stimulates the development of the wholesale gas market by encouraging balance responsible parties to use standardized balancing mechanisms. To balance their portfolios, balance responsible parties can use renominations of quantities at entry and exit points, trade on a virtual trading point or trade on a trading platform. In the event of a system imbalance, Plinacro, as the operator of the gas transmission system in the Republic of Croatia, activates the balancing energy to return the system within acceptable limits. In accordance with the Rules on the Organization of the Gas Market, the Croatian Energy Market Operator performs a monthly calculation of the daily imbalance charge, trades conducted on the trading platform for balancing activities, a neutrality charge and a charge for deviation from the nominated quantities which have been analysed in this paper based on the case study of a chosen balancing group. The analyses conducted in the paper have shown that the balance responsible party may be entitled to compensation or be liable to pay compensation based on the monthly calculation of the Croatian Energy Market Operator, HROTE, depending on the value of each charge. Plinacro as the forecasting party is preparing a new model for the allocation of gas quantities that will affect the operations of gas suppliers, DSOs and especially BRPs. Based on this analysis, it could be concluded that more accurate estimated consumption for a balancing group leads to cost optimization and a more transparent gas market.

Abstract (croatian)

Mrežna pravila o uravnoteženju plina transportnih mreža stimuliraju razvoj veleprodajnoga tržišta plina poticanjem
voditelja bilančnih skupina na korištenje standardiziranih mehanizama uravnoteženja. Za održavanje ravnoteže vlastite
bilančne skupine mogu se koristiti renominacije korištenja ulaznih i izlaznih kapaciteta, trgovanje na virtualnoj točki
trgovanja ili trgovanje na trgovinskoj platformi. U slučaju neravnoteže sustava Plinacro kao operator transportnoga
sustava
plina u RH aktivira energiju uravnoteženja kako bi vratio sustav u prihvatljive granice odstupanja. Na temelju
analize slučaja odabrane bilančne skupine analiziran je godišnji primjer izračuna u kojemu, sukladno Pravilima o organizaciji
tržišta plina, operator tržišta plina za svaki mjesec provodi obračun naknade za dnevno odstupanje, trgovanja
provedenih na trgovinskoj platformi radi poduzetih radnji uravnoteženja, naknade za neutralnost te odstupanja od
nominacije.
U radu je prikazano kako voditelj bilančne skupine može imati pravo na naknadu ili biti dužan platiti
naknadu
temeljem mjesečnoga obračuna operatora tržišta plina, HROTE-a, a ovisno o iznosu pojedine naknade. HROTE
priprema novi model za raspodjelu količina plina koji će utjecati na rad sudionika na tržištu plina, posebice bilančnih
skupina. Na temelju analize zaključuje se kako bi preciznija procjena potrošnje za bilančnu skupinu predstavljala optimizaciju
troškova i razvoj transparentnoga tržišta plina.
