- Market design for a reliable ~100% renewable electricity system: Deliverable D3.5Publication . Morales-España, Germán; Algarvio, Hugo; Vries, Laurens de; Faia, Ricardo; Hernandez-Serna, Ricardo; Johanndeiter, Silke; Couto, António; José, Débora Regina S.; Papadaskalopoulos, Dimitrios; Lopes, Fernando; Strbac, Goran; Sanchez, Ingrid; Kochems, Johannes; Helistö, Niina; Chrysanthopoulos, Nikolaos; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: The goal of this report is to identify in which respects the design and regulation of electricity markets needs to be improved in order facilitate a (nearly) completely decarbonized electricity system. It provides a basis for scoping the modeling analyses that are to be performed in subsequent work packages in the TradeRES project. These simulations will provide the basis for an update of this deliverable in the form of a more precise description of an all-renewable electricity market design. In this first iteration1 of deliverable 3.5, we analyze how the current design of electricity markets may fall short of future needs. Where there is a lack of certainty about the best market design choices, we identify alternative choices. Alternatives may concern a choice between policy intervention and no intervention or different intervention options. Section 2 outlines current European electricity market design and the key pieces of European legislation that underlie it. The European target model is zonal pricing with bidding zones that are defined as geographic areas within the internal market without structural congestion. That implies that within one bidding zone electricity can be traded without considering grid constraints and there are uniform wholesale prices in each zone. The main European markets are Nordpool, EPEX and MIBEL. Trading between zones in the European Price Coupling Region occurs through an implicit auction where price and quantity are computed for every hour of the next day, using EUPHEMIA, a hybrid algorithm for flowbased market coupling that is considered the best practice in Europe at this time.

- Reduction of the Market Splitting Occurrences: A Dynamic Line Rating Approach for the 2030 Iberian Day-ahead Market ScenariosPublication . Algarvio, Hugo; Couto, António; Estanqueiro, Ana; Carvalho, Rui; Santos, Gabriel; Faia, Ricardo; Faria, Pedro; Vale, ZitaABSTRACT: Typically, Transmission System Operators apply power flow models with Seasonal Line Rating prescriptions to compute the ampacity of power lines, in a process that enables to obtain the cross-border capacity for trading between different countries or market zones. These seasonal-dependent models rely on fixed conservative meteorological conditions throughout the year, underestimating the real-time transmission capacity of overhead lines. This can contribute to market splitting occurrences, i.e., a situation where the cleared power flow between different market zones of the coupled market is superior to the cross-border capacity, separating markets, which brings economic losses to market participants. Dynamic Line Rating analysis allows computing the overhead lines’ capacity considering the weather conditions that influence the power line's thermal dynamics. This work presents a study that applies the CIGRÉ 601 model in cross-border power lines between Portugal and Spain to quantify the reduction in market splitting occurrences in the day-ahead Iberian market considering based on the installed capacities from the 2030 national energy and climate plans. Comparing with the seasonal approach, dynamic line rating enabled to reduce the number of market splitting occurrences from 1512 to 514, reducing the electricity costs by more than 1% and the price difference from 19 to 12 €/MWh.
