Energy & flexibility market design, grid decision support and active system management

We offer specialist knowledge in energy markets and active system management (LV/MV/HV electricity grids), supporting system operators, regulators, policymakers and market participants in preparing the electricity system for the European energy transition by 2030–2050.

Our insights and expertise are grounded in science-based tools to analyse, develop, optimise and enhance flexibility and electricity markets, while also enabling active system management for both transmission and distribution system operators.

Market design: corner stone of the energy transition

Today’s markets are fragmented and business models don’t tend to be future-proof. That is why we help system operators, regulators, policy makers and various energy market players in preparing the power system for the European 2030-2050 energy transition.  

Because indeed, integration & coordination is needed more than ever, and this between and of:

  • energy and flexibility markets  
  • multiple services and products for TSOs and DSOs
  • multiple carriers and multiple sectors
  • explicit and implicit flexibility mechanisms
  • market constraints and physical grid constraints
  • end consumers as active providers of flexibility services

 

Our insights and solutions will help you be prepared for the energy challenges of the future, paving the way to a resilient and sustainable energy system in 2050.  

Because we provide robust, future-proof software tools for market and system operators that support smart and active system management. Our tools, algorithms and mathematical models support (energy) business intelligence for different market players in the entire energy value chain.  

Moreover, we provide science-based, neutral-objective policy support on energy market design and grid management to the European Commission and to national and regional regulators and policy makers with a topical focus on the integration of renewables and flexibility in the energy system.

 

From concepts towards implementation

GEMS Roadmap Approach

Using our Multi-Dimensional Market Simulator

We validate innovative future market and grid concepts, as well as associated strategic decision support tools with own-developed advanced software applications and mathematical models to perform qualitative and quantitative assessments.

Our innovative solutions are demonstrated in cooperation with system operators, market operators and industrial players throughout Europe.

Multi-dimensional market simulator

Our research and innovation of the past years has been culminated in the successful launch of our spin-off Orion Grid Technologies, which focuses on the deployment of operational LV grid decision support tools with European DSOs.
