Modelling Europe's short-term Security of Supply scenarios in PLEXOS
Using our pan-European gas model, we have focused it on analysing all aspects of the “Security of Supply” crisis in Europe. Join us as we present this short-term simulation model (Jul 2022 -June 2024) which takes a highly granular and deep-dive approach, capturing all the fundamentals that affect the timely availability of gas to and within Europe. And see the regional and country level outcomes to cold weather events, critical infrastructure failures, excessive non-market interventions and variable merchant LNG supply availability.

Locational marginal pricing analysis in the Baltic States
Baltic transmissions system operators performed common study of locational marginal pricing analysis as required within European Bidding Zone review process. The market simulation results were used together with network analysis to identify grid bottlenecks and contingencies. Energy Exemplar’s PLEXOS market modelling tool allowed Baltic TSOs to comply with all requirements of the Bidding Zone review process, allocating minimal resources for post-processing data. A common market model used by all Baltic TSOs enabled full cooperation and timely project implementation.
