Course: European electricity markets – Flow-based capacity calculation

About the online training programme

This course covers the flow-based capacity calculation concerning the flow-based methodology in the European electricity markets. Capacity calculation lies at the heart of cross-zonal electricity trading in Europe. It determines how much power can be securely transferred between bidding zones without endangering the physical integrity of the interconnected transmission grid. As electricity trading across borders becomes more integrated and dynamic, the methodology used to calculate this available capacity must be both accurate and transparent. This is where the flow-based approach plays a central role.
