An imbalance series holds the imbalance of one balance group in one scheduling area, or one adjustment that the market included in it. component_kind and component_value tell the series of one balance group and area apart: the total has total and ALL, the net adjustment has adjustment and ALL, and each adjustment class has adjustment and its class, for example mfrr_up. Use external_id to read the volumes of a series in List Imbalances.

An imbalance series and its dimensions: the imbalance of one balance group in one scheduling area, or one adjustment that the market included in it.

balance_group
string
required

The market's identifier of the balance group.

Example:

"11XBILANZKREIS-X"

component_kind
enum<string>
required

The level of an imbalance series. The total contains the adjustments, thus do not add a total and its adjustments together.

Available imbalance component kinds

  • total — The imbalance of the balance group, with all adjustments included.

  • adjustment — An adjustment that the market included in the imbalance, with the sign it has in the imbalance.

Available options:
total,
adjustment
Example:

"total"

component_value
enum<string>
required

The adjustment class of an imbalance series and its suffix: _up or _down for the regulation direction, _net for one signed series. ALL contains the classes, and each _net contains its _up and _down, thus never add across these levels.

Available imbalance component values

  • ALL — On a total, the imbalance. On an adjustment, the net of all the adjustments that the market sends.

  • afrr_up — Automatic frequency restoration reserve (aFRR), upward regulation.

  • afrr_down — aFRR, downward regulation.

  • afrr_net — aFRR, both directions in one signed series.

  • mfrr_up — Manual frequency restoration reserve (mFRR), upward regulation.

  • mfrr_down — mFRR, downward regulation.

  • mfrr_net — mFRR, both directions in one signed series.

  • redispatch_up — Redispatch, upward regulation.

  • redispatch_down — Redispatch, downward regulation.

  • redispatch_net — Redispatch, both directions in one signed series.

  • other_up — A different adjustment class, upward. The market's own code for the class is in the market dimensions.

  • other_down — A different adjustment class, downward. The market's own code for the class is in the market dimensions.

  • other_net — A different adjustment class, both directions in one signed series. The market's own code for the class is in the market dimensions.

Available options:
ALL,
afrr_up,
afrr_down,
afrr_net,
mfrr_up,
mfrr_down,
mfrr_net,
redispatch_up,
redispatch_down,
redispatch_net,
other_up,
other_down,
other_net
Example:

"ALL"

external_id
string
required

The identifier of the imbalance series. The market gives it, or Engrate gives it in markets that do not give a stable identifier.

market_dimensions
Market Dimensions · object
required

The market's own codes for the series, for example the code of an adjustment class. Empty when the market gives no code.

Examples:
scheduling_area
string
required

The EIC code of the scheduling area.

Example:

"10YDE-RWENET---I"
