In order to enable more flexible deployment of Unit Q of the BoxbergPower Plant against the background of the current increasingly difficult market conditions, the optimization of the plant’s primary control power supply capabilities was started as part of the “SDL Optimization” project, which was divided into several phases. The aim of the project was to extend, both upwards and downwards, the load range in which system services can be provided.
