abstract = {The transition to a sustainable energy supply challenges
the operation of electric power systems in various ways.
Transmission grid loads increase as wind and solar power is
often installed far away from the consumers. System
operators resolve grid congestion via countertrading or
redispatch to ensure grid stability. While some drivers of
congestion are known, the magnitude of their impact is
unclear, and other factors might still be unidentified.In
this study, we conduct a data-driven investigation of
congestion in the German transmission grid that reveals
drivers and mitigators and quantifies their impact ex-post.
Specifically, we used Gradient Boosted Trees and SHAP values
to develop an explainable machine learning model for the
hourly volume of redispatch and countertrade. As expected,
wind power generation in northern Germany emerged as the
main driver. Cross-border electricity trading, especially
with Denmark, also plays an important role. German solar
power has very little effect. Furthermore, our results
suggest that run-of-river generation in the alpine region
has a strong mitigating effect. Our results support the idea
that market design changes, e.g., a bidding zone split,
could contribute to congestion prevention.},
