  • Research Project: Modelling a nodal European Day-Ahead electricity market at ETH Zürich, Power System Laboratory
    Jun 2024 - Aug 2024 · 3 mos

    This project compares the current zonal day-ahead electricity market in Europe with a proposed nodal market design. Using inverse optimization to allocate zonal bids to nodes in the electrical system, the study models and analyzes data from the Central Western European region. The results highlight significant computational challenges in the nodal model, particularly with zonal bid allocation to nodes. Further improvements in optimization techniques and calibrating of the models are needed for obtaining realistic results.
