Activities

As a postdoctoral in methodologies for modelling interconnections between bidding zones in the context of European electricity market studies, your main objective is to assess the impact of flow-based market coupling on medium-term electricity price forecasts, in particular:

- Exploration of methodologies for implementing the flow-based market coupling approach in fundamental market price models

- Identification of available databases

- Quantitative analysis of the flow-based approach compared to the ATC approach implemented in medium-term price forecasting models

- Case study on the European market model for the 2025-2035 horizon

The expected results are:

- A review of interconnection capacity modelling for electricity price models

- A methodological report detailing how to implement flow-based modelling in fundamental electricity price forecasting models

- A demonstration and results for the selected use case.
