The OPTIMATE1 platform focuses on electricity system and market designs modelling in order to assess current and innovative designs in Europe. The current paper describes the results of the first validation studies' conducted with the tool. These studies deal with day-ahead market rules, load flexibility, cross-border management and intermittent renewable support schemes with a view to better integrating...
With the growth of wind energy for power generation, several transmission system operators (TSOs) have increasing difficulties to forecast congestions due to the unpredictable nature of the energy source. This paper proposes to enhance congestion management using a real time supervisor. This supervisor performs automatic and dynamic re-dispatchings using both variable speed wind generators and conventional...
With the increased use of wind energy several Transmission System Operators (TSO) have increasing difficulties for congestion forecasting due to the unpredictable nature of the energy source. To maintain the state of the system within acceptable and secure operating conditions, the TSOs require the curtailment of the production of generators to avoid local congestion on the power grid. These actions...
This paper presents a Belgian example applying the grid-connected cars as a means for storing electricity, which could eventually result in lowering the spot price and its volatility on the electricity market. The energy is assumed to be bought on the Belgian power exchange, and the Belpex Market Resilience analysis is used to determine to what extent additional electricity demand or supply affects...
This paper aims at understanding and assessing the main methods proposed by ETSO and EuroPEX to define and allocate interconnection capacities in Europe. We model these methods and evaluate their technical and economic efficiency on a 7-node network. We find first, that, unsurprisingly, the allocation methods are all the more efficient as the Kirchhoff laws are integrated more precisely in the market...

With the increased use of wind energy for the power generation several TSO have increasing difficulties for congestion forecasting due to the unpredictable nature of the energy source. An actual method used to deal with days-ahead congestion planning is based on an order of disconnection of the generation of the type ldquolast generation installed, first generation limitedrdquo. This paper proposes...
This paper aims at assessing the impact of massive wind power penetration on the calculation of ATC. Calculations are made for the ATC between France and Belgium and are realized on a realistic European Electricity Network. We find that the German wind power production make this ATC vary depending on the total wind power production and its geographical distribution in Germany. Wind power production...
This paper proposes a model and preliminary results to evaluate the efficiency of anticipating the connection of power plants with shorter construction duration than the time needed to obtain the right to upgrade the network and finally to do this reinforcement. This evaluation is made in presence of a cost of anticipation related to the study of the project of network investment and to the administrative...
The approach of experimental economics is used in this paper to show that other behaviors than perfect competition and classical representations of imperfect competition can be relevant to study a power market on a constrained network. Human subjects compete on a market to maximize their profit while they are located in two different geographical areas with limited interconnector capacity. The eight...
This paper addresses the problem of transmission loss allocation in a power system where the generators, the demands and the system operator are independent. We suppose that the transmission losses are exclusively charged to the generators, which are willing to adopt a perfectly competitive behavior. In this context, their offers must reflect their production costs and their transmission loss costs,...
