Course content
Content
Organization of the Nordic electricity market, roles and responsibilities of the different actors, financial and physical market products. Technical-economic operation of the power system, managing bottlenecks and constraints of the power grid reliability, need of reserves, plus supplying and activating these. Power exchange with other systems.
Objectives of the course
Learning outcomes, skills and attitudes
The course gives an introduction to operation and control of electric power systems from the common regulation "Nordic grid code" based on a market viewpoint. The course describes the energy market in the Nordic countries, power system operation with focus on technical-economic characteristics and properties, power reserve management, operation and control of the power system in a restructured market.
The students shall be able to understand the development towards an integrated European market, through the European Union's, third energy package, the Agency for cooperation og energy regulators as well as how the European network of transmission system operators works.
After completing the course, students will be able to explain the principles and properties of the various parts of the market, roles and responsibilities of the different actors, how bottlenecks and system reliability are handled, and how different kinds of power reserves are supplied and managed during different operational situations.
