Artelys to develop the clearing engine for the EU cross-balancing market
The Replacement Reserve (RR) is one type of power reserves used by Transmission System Operators (TSOs) across Europe in order to ensure real-time supply/demand balance. It is generally provided by generators that require a long start-up time (typically thirty minutes) but may also be provided by demand response suppliers.
Trans European Replacement Reserves Exchange (TERRE) is the pilot European implementation project for exchanging replacement reserves in line with the Guideline on Electricity Balancing. The aim of TERRE is to build the RR Platform and set up the European RR balancing energy market in order to create a harmonized playing field for the Market Participants.
The consortium is in charge of providing the market clearing engine to the RR Platform. The optimization engine simultaneously clears upward and downward balancing offers from Balance Service Providers with balancing needs submitted by participating TSOs. It is designed to run under 3 minutes with up to 500 000 offers over a region managed by 50 TSOs, and accommodates complex offers such as block bids and exclusive bids.
Upon the Go-Live date, the TERRE market will be operated on an hourly basis all year long.
Artelys led the Assessment of Policy Options for Securing Inertia for the European Commission
The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) selected Artelys (leader), Trinomics, and Tractebel ENGIE to study solutions for ensuring the future frequency stability of the European power system. The study report was published in August 2025 by...

Artelys Introduces Future Sight: a Visualisation Tool Supporting the Energy Transition
As partner in the European Climate + Energy Modeling Forum (ECEMF) – a Horizon 2020 Europe project uniting research institutes and leading energy modellers in Europe – Artelys has contributed to modeling activities powered by Artelys Crystal Super Grid modelisation tool, and has led the development of a fully-fledged visualisation tool.
Supercharging Optimisation: How Artelys, FICO and NVIDIA cuOpt Join Efforts to Scale Up Energy System Optimisation
As energy system models continue to scale—reaching up to hundreds of millions of variables and constraints—traditional CPU-based optimisation solvers are hitting performance and memory bottlenecks. These increasingly complex models are essential for planning Europe’s energy transition, yet solving them within realistic timeframes has become a pressing challenge.
