Frequency Containment Reserve is tendered daily by the transmission system operators (TSOs) in 4-hour blocks. Frequency Containment Reserve must always be provided symmetrically, and only the power offered is remunerated. Offer increments of 1 MW are permitted. A market clearing price is determined, which all suppliers receive. The graph shows the daily prices achieved per time slot stacked on top of each other. Each successful bidder receives the prices shown per MW awarded. The aggregation allows you to switch between daily, weekly, and monthly results.

Automatich frequency restauration reserve is the second fastest control reserve in Germany. Like frequency containment reserve, automatich frequency restauration reserve is tendered in 4-hour time slots in 1 MW increments. There are separate products for the positive and negative directions, making automatich frequency restauration reserve an asymmetric product. In addition, the power and energy markets are decoupled for automatich frequency restauration reserve. The graph shows only the power market/capacity market, but not the energy market. Automatich frequency restauration reserve is awarded according to the pay-as-bid principle, so there are no uniform prices. Each provider receives the price offered if the provider is awarded according to the merit order list. The graph therefore allows you to switch between the minimum price, the maximum price, and the average price. Furthermore, the prices of the individual time slices are stacked, and the aggregation can be switched between daily, weekly, and monthly.

Since the pay-as-bid principle applies in the automatic frequency restauration reserve power market, many different bids are accepted at different prices. For this purpose, box plots for the prices per time slice are shown in the graph, sorted by time slice and direction of supply (POS/NEG). The box in the box plot always contains the middle 50% of all bids, while the whiskers show the min and max values. Individual outliers beyond this are not shown.
