Dutch Short Term Market Simulation (CCGT & Wind)

Originally developed in conjunction with Eneco Energie Trade, the simulation models a CCGT asset and a wind asset operating in the Dutch short term power markets.

Key Learning Points:

  1. CCGT commercial characteristics
  2. Reserve Market
  3. Intra-Day Market
  4. Real time trade & dispatch
  5. Online Dispatch / real time steering

The detailed simulation gives a realistic insight to operating a CCGT and Wind asset the Dutch power markets.

Flexible scenarios place the user under realistic time pressure.

Scenario 1: Introduction (1h 30 minutes)

  • Workshop Overview
  • Market & Trading Fundamentals
  • Understanding the software:
    Run through simulation without any time constraints. Detailed explanation of each screen

Break (15 minutes)

Scenario 2: Practice (1 hour 15 minutes)

  • Simulation runs with time constraints
  • Focus: outright position taking, bid ladder, reserve market and asset backed trading
  • Feedback from scenario / discussion on what happened

Lunch Break (1h)
