To support the main objective, the project had the following sub goals:
- Identification of present balancing resources and estimation of balance costs in the Northern part of Europe.
- Identification of the ‘solution space’: what goals would innovative balancing arrangements need to meet, what constraints (technical, economic, institutional or with respect to public policy) apply?
- Analysis of alternative design frameworks for a multi control area balance market.
Estimation of the balancing costs for different arrangements of a multi control area balancing market. - Support PhD work within 4 selected subjects
- Policy advice: which institutional changes are necessary to realize such a market? Which decisions would need to be taken by whom? What additional information is necessary?
