Dutch term
opregelen/afregelen
Dutch to English
Tech/Engineering
Energy / Power Generation
This is a text on the Dutch Netcode (electricity network code):
In dit hoofdstuk wordt verstaan onder
"opregelen": het leveren van elektrische energie aan de netbeheerder van het landelijk hoogspanningsnet uit het door die netbeheerder ten behoeve van de systeembalans ingezette regelvermogen, reservevermogen en noodvermogen;
"afregelen": het leveren van elektrische energie door de netbeheerder van het landelijk hoogspanningsnet aan de beheerders van het door die netbeheerder ten behoeve van de systeembalans ingezette regelvermogen, reservevermogen en noodvermogen;
I had provisionally translated this as "increasing" and "decreasing". After reading the above, I am not that sure anymore. Do any of you have a suggestion that fits better in this context.
TIA
Alexander

upward regulation/downward regulaion
This is how I translated it for Telnet quite some years ago. Michael's refs may well be based on that or others have thought the same.

Wherever possible, however, I would recommend using the terminology of feeding into the grid and withdrawing from the grid, reserving upwards and downwards regulation for situations where you cannot make that substitution.

Whoops! it should, of course, say regulation and not regulaion. Disadvantage of working from a mobile phone!

positive adjustment/negative adjustment or adjustment up/adjustment down
I'm no expert on electricity balancing but it seems to me that the meaning is an adjustment in the amount of power, up or down depending on the circumstances.

up-regulate/down-regulate
I like the verb form better in the infinitive tense.

: Six of one and half a dozen of the other. It's the same answer. However, I prefer to avoid hyphenated terms that are not supported by a lot of textual evidence. At the time I originally translated it, there was nothing. Not much more now.
