The Transmission Code regulates the general connection conditions of installations to the high and extra-high voltage grid and is the framework for grid usage, system services, grid expansion, and general grid operation. The connection conditions for the low-voltage or distribution grid level are set out separately – for example in the Distribution Code 2007 or in the VDE application rules. The rules of the Transmission Code apply to all systems that feed into the grid control network, regardless of whether it is a large power plant with several hundred megawatts or a biogas plant with only 500 kW. Among other things, the Transmission Code defines the individual conditions required for the prequalification of plants for the balancing reserves market, such as the minimum supply level for system services (a band of ± 1 MW for FCR and 5 MW for aFRR and mFRR).
