This paper presents ODIN, an open dispatch model for the Nordic power system. We begin by performing a survey of existing models, and conclude that no model which simulates the different price areas in the Nordic power system and is truly open exists. Existing models either lack data to do an...

The bulk electric power system in New England is fundamentally changing. The representation of nuclear, coal and oil generation facilities is set to dramatically fall, and natural gas, wind and solar facilities will come to fill their place. The introduction of variable energy resources (VERs)...

Transmission networks have some constraints that should be addressed in order to ensure sufficient control to maintain the security level of a power system while maximising market efficiency. The most obvious drawback of transmission constraints is a congestion problem that becomes an obstacle...

The potential to reschedule part of the electricity demand in energy systems is seen as a significant opportunity to improve the efficiency of the systems, especially on remote and isolated systems. From the supply point of view, that flexibility might bring significant improvements to the...
