ENQEIR811 - DS3 System Services - Volume Uncapped - Gate 8
Gate 8 covers all 12 services as outlined in this Qualification System Briefing Document. There is: - A separate DS3 System Services Agreement for services in Ireland, which is to be entered into with EirGrid; and - A separate DS3 System Services Agreement for services in Northern Ireland, which is to be entered into with SONI The services are split into a number of Lots for each of the TSOs as follows: - Lots 1IE – 12IE relate to the System Services required by EirGrid. - Lots 1NI – 12NI relate to the System Services required by SONI. It is intended that the start date of each of the Contracts awarded under Gate 8 is 1st April 2023. It is intended that the term of each Contract will last until 30th April 2024, as per the decision of the Regulatory Authority set out in SEM-21-021 System Services Future Arrangements - Decision Paper 1, but with an option for each TSO to extend the term of its Contract in respect of any or all of its applicable Lots in certain defined cases for one additional time period of up to eighteen (18) months, at the discretion of the Contracting Entity. This option might apply where, for instance, there is a delay in completing the procurement for any subsequent phases envisaged under the DS3 Programme.

Primary Operating reserve or ‘POR’ has the meaning given to it in the grid code
Secondary Operating reserve or ‘SOR’ has the meaning given to it in the grid code
Tertiary 1 operating reserve or ‘TOR1’ has the meaning given to it in the grid code
Tertiary 2 operating reserve or ‘TOR2’ has the meaning given to it in the grid code
RR (De-synchronised)’ means replacement reserve provided by the providing unit when: (i) not Synchronised to the power system in the case of a synchronous providing unit, or (ii) when connected to the power system and operating at a level less or equal to 0 MW in the case of an energy storage providing unit, or (ii) when connected to the power system in the case of a demand side unit
RR (Synchronised)’ means Replacement Reserve provided by the Providing Unit when: (i) synchronised to the power system in the case of a synchronous providing unit, or (ii) when connected to the power system and operating at a level greater than 0 MW in the case of an energy storage providing unit or power park module
Steady-state reactive power or ‘SSRP’ means reactive power capability (Leading) and reactive power capability (Lagging)
Synchronous Inertial Response (SIR) is the kinetic energy (at a Frequency of 50 Hz) of a centrally dispatched synchronous providing unit multiplied by the SIR factor (SIRF)
Ramping Margin 1 is the increased MW Output and/or MW Reduction that a providing unit can provide to the company within one hour of the company issuing a dispatch instruction to a service provider and that the providing unit can maintain for a further two hours after the one hour period has elapsed. It is limited by the lowest availability in that three hour period
Ramping Margin 3 is the increased MW Output and/or MW reduction that a providing unit can provide to the company within three hours of the company issuing a dispatch instruction to a service provider and that the providing unit can maintain for a further 5 hours after the 3 hour period has elapsed. It is limited by the lowest availability in that 8 hour period
Ramping Margin 8 is the increased MW Output and/or MW reduction that a providing unit can provide to the company within eight hours of the company issuing a dispatch instruction to a service provider and that the providing unit can maintain for a further 8 hours after the 8 hour period has elapsed. It is limited by the lowest availability in that 16 hour period
Fast Frequency Response (FFR) is the additional MW Output or MW reduction required compared to the pre- incident MW output or MW reduction, which is fully available from a providing unit within 2 seconds after the start of an event and sustainable up to 10 seconds after the start of the event
