Course: European electricity markets – The flow-based methodology

About the online training programme

This course explains the flow-based methodology (FBMC) in the European electricity markets, which concerns a methodology used to allocate cross-border transmission capacity in a way that reflects the actual physics of the electricity grid. Unlike older approaches, which relied on simplified assumptions, the flow-based method takes into account how electricity physically flows through the interconnected network. Its main objective is to improve the efficiency and security of cross-zonal electricity trading by making more accurate use of the grid’s available capacity.

The in-company training services were very satisfying, amongst others, as they served the purpose of learning by debate and through exchange of thoughts.

What I like about the course is the information provided and the way it is provided. I find that the length of the videos is right, as it is not too long to watch. Also, thanks to that, when a video is not very clear to me, I watch it again, since I know that they are of short duration. Excellent material.
