Energynautics: Empowering TSOs and Traders in the Era of Flow-Based Market Coupling

Darmstadt, 28 Jan 2025 — Energynautics, a leading consulting company in power systems and renewable energy integration, is expertly supporting Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and electricity traders as they navigate the complexities of Flow-Based Market Coupling (FBMC).

FBMC has revolutionized cross-border electricity trading in Europe by optimizing the allocation of transmission capacities based on real-time grid conditions. This methodology enhances market efficiency and facilitates the seamless integration of renewable energy sources. Since its initial implementation in 2015 along Germany’s western border, FBMC has expanded across Central Europe and, as of October 2024, into the Nordic region, encompassing Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.

Energynautics boasts extensive experience in conducting complex calculations and possesses an in-depth understanding of allocation of capacities and the European grid model. Our expertise enables us to offer tailored solutions to TSOs and traders, assisting them in adapting to the FBMC framework. We provide:

• Advanced Market Simulations: We work with economic modelling partners utilizing well-proven models to predict market behaviors and price formations under FBMC constraints.
• Capacity Calculation Support: Assisting market modelers in the precise determination of cross-border transmission capacities under present and future scenarios to optimize trading opportunities.
• Training and Workshops: Offering educational programs to enhance understanding of FBMC mechanisms and their implications on market operations.

Energynautics’ involvement in key projects, such as the integration of offshore windparks for TenneT, highlights our expertise in applying FBMC principles to renewable energy integration. Through these initiatives, we have developed robust European market models and gained insights into capacity calculation methodologies, directly benefiting our clients.

“With the expansion of Flow-Based Market Coupling across Europe, it’s imperative for TSOs and traders to have a deep understanding of grid dynamics and market mechanisms,” said Dr. Eckehard Tröster, CEO of Energynautics. “Our extensive knowledge and experience uniquely position us to help stakeholders maximize the benefits of FBMC, ensuring efficient and reliable electricity markets.”
