With the rapid development of new energy in China

the power system faces dual challenges: rising balancing costs and insufficient regulatory flexibility

and it is urgent to explore new balancing mechanisms. The German electricity market has effectively reduced balancing costs and increased new energy consumption through a unique balancing group model

providing valuable experience for the development of the global electricity market. This article delves into the core drivers and key elements of the German balancing group model. Based on clustering results

the development of the balancing group is divided into three stages: the market mechanism and policy transformation period

the high-speed development period of new energy

and the deep technological innovation period. Through in-depth analysis of the core drivers across the different development stages of the balancing group

the adaptability of this model across historical stages was revealed

and key elements such as new energy volatility

market mechanisms

and resource flexibility were identified. Drawing on Germany's experience

this article examines the needs and conditions for reforming China's new energy consumption and power balance mechanism and proposes strategies and suggestions that China can learn from at this stage

providing theoretical support for China's innovative power and quantity balance mechanism.
