Glossary Term: Applicable Balancing Services Volume Data
ABSVD (which is displayed on the Insights Solution as Balancing Services Volume Data) is calculated by the System Operator for each BM Unit and Settlement Period in accordance with Section Q, paragraph 6.4 of the BSC.
The derivation of the ABSVD is the subject of a dedicated Methodology Statement; but the Applicable Balancing Services may conveniently be regarded as those services required by the System Operator for economic operation of the Transmission System, that result in the service provider being exposed to imbalance charges whilst assisting in system balancing.
The purpose of calculating the volumes concerned is to enable these volumes to be excluded from the subsequent calculation of imbalance charges.
