Analyse the design of power markets in TenneT’s power flow simulator!
TenneT is a leading European electricity transmission system operator (TSO) with its main activities in the Netherlands and Germany.
In 2019, Artelys developed an interactive web-based model of an interconnected electricity grid, which TenneT uses on its website to present the key challenges of managing its network.
This tool has been enhanced to enable the optimal dispatch of generators in a power system. This optimization problem (DCOPF) can be thought of as maximizing the economic welfare of the power system while meeting system constraints: supply must meet demand, generators must produce within their physical limits and network constraints must be respected.
This new version enables the user to simulate such an optimal dispatch within different power market configurations. The user can see the impacts of these market designs on electricity prices, grid congestions and power generation (especially the level of integration of renewables), in a simplified, yet insightful way. Moreover, the new version has a built-in CO2 indicator, which can show the user how many tons of CO2 are emitted by different energy sources.
The power flow simulator is freely available on TenneT’s website.
Artelys Participates in the European HyNet Project to Optimize Hybrid AC/DC Power Grids
As part of the Horizon Europe program, Artelys is participating in the HyNet project. This initiative aims to study and optimize the operation of hybrid AC/DC power grids in the context of the rapid growth of power electronics-based technologies and the widespread deployment of distributed energy resources.
Powering Progress: Artelys Algorithms Enable REN’s Integration into the MARI Platform
— Artelys provided the advanced algorithms powering REN’s end-to-end mFRR processes, enabling seamless integration into the MARI platform whose market algorithms are also developed by Artelys.
EEX launches auctions for French Biogas Guarantees of Origin
— The European Energy Exchange (EEX), in collaboration with the French Ministry of Energy, is introducing auctions for biogas Guarantees of Origin (GOs). Artelys provides the market-clearing technology to optimize the auction process, supporting renewable energy certification and decarbonization efforts.
Innovative grid technologies can improve renewable energy integration in the Latvian grid by up to 40%
—The power grid faces challenges in managing the increasing amounts of new wind and solar power generation. Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are essential for optimizing the use of the existing infrastructure. Artelys carried out a study for Latvian Transmission System Operator (TSO) AST to assess the renewable generation hosting capacity of the transmission grid and to evaluate the benefits that GETs can provide to renewable integration. The study performed simulations using the open-source optimal flow tool, PowSyBI Metrix. Results show that Grid Enhancing Technologies can increase Renewable Energy Sources (RES) hosting capacity by up to 40% and were announced in the following press release.
