  • There is an increasing need for flexibility due to the growing share of fluctuating renewable energies and the pro-gressing integration of the European power market. Thus, an adequate depiction of imports and exports within models of electricity systems is essential. So far, however, a systematiza-tion of existing modeling approaches is missing as well as a modelling approach that addresses the discrepancy between very detailed flow-based models and simplified approaches based on fixed net transfer capacities. Therefore, this paper de-velops such a systematization and an approach that addresses the gap between model complexity and model accuracy by in-troducing a new control parameter for the variations of the “level of detail”. In addition, a detailed analysis of the available transfer capacities for each border between Germany and its electrical neighbours is carried out.
