Integrating additional settlement requirements in an existing settlement system

According to the German Combined Heat and Power Act (KWKG), German transmission providers have been obliged since 2012 to refund the costs to grid operators in their control area of statutory promotion of heating and cooling networks and heat and cold reservoirs. The resulting costs are allocated equally to all transmission providers by means of the cogeneration allocation, according to the power provided to transmission consumers. The necessary functions are integrated into the existing .NET system for settlement of the cogeneration allocation and other allocations.
