Congestion, curtailment, and complexity - coping with more volatile energy production

Green Week - Session 4

As renewable energy sources take up a larger share of Europe’s power mix, the complexity of managing the grid also increases. Volatility in production from solar, wind, and hydropower sources mean that energy systems need to adapt rapidly to ensure stability, avoid curtailment, and prevent congestion. This session will focus on the tools, strategies, and market mechanisms needed to manage a green grid effectively in the face of these challenges.

We’ll explore how flexibility markets, short-term trading, and advanced grid resilience strategies are helping to cope with the variability of renewable energy production and what the future holds for balancing Europe’s power systems. We will discuss the complexities of managing a green grid across a range of issues, including: balancing markets, flexibility markets, grid resilience and NEMO short-term markets.

Key topics:

• Examination of balancing markets and the role of projects like PICASSO and MARI.

• Market design changes such as Flow Based Market Coupling (FBMC) and 15 MTU

• PPA and subsidies impact on short-term markets in general and negative prices in particular
