Core Flow-Based Intraday Capacity Calculation (b) go-live set on the 15th of May 2024

Date: 26-4-2024

 

Core TSOs are pleased to announce a planned go-live date for the flow-based IDCC(b) process on the 15th May 2024 for the delivery day of the 16th of May 2024. The IDCC(b) process aims to deliver capacities by D-1 21:45 to the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) market platform for all hours of the next day.

This milestone will mark the first effective flow-based intraday capacity calculation of the region and a big step towards the optimisation of the available capacity for the intraday market while respecting operational security using the latest available CGM.

You may expect a next communication on the 15th of May for the final operational confirmation of the go-live.

 

Communication channels

Market participants who would like to follow closer the project development are invited

to join the Core Consultative Group (CCG) by sending an email to CoreCG@magnus.nl. The participants of the Core Consultative Group will receive regular information, and invitations to teleconferences and meetings.

On the 6th of May 2024 15:00 – 17:00, a special Core CG meeting will be held dedicated to informing market participants on the final details for go-live.

Next to the Core CG, a Question & Answer Forum for the Core FB capacity calculation project is currently in use. The Forum can be accessed via https://coreforum.my-ems.net.

The Core TSOs invite all market participants to use this Forum for their queries.

 

About the Intraday Capacity Calculation project in the Core CCR

The Core Flow-Based Intraday Capacity Calculation (Core FB IDCC) project promotes the

development and implementation of a flow-based intraday capacity calculation across

the whole Core Capacity Calculation Region (Core CCR) in the framework of the SIDC. The Core CCR consists of the bidding zone borders between the following EU Member States’ bidding zones: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

 

Market integration - Core to energy transition

The energy transition towards a carbon free electricity supply is a European challenge that requires the use of the European electricity system to the full extent. Weather-dependent supply and increasing demand response will lead to a different and more intense use of the grid. The Core market integration project is aiming to create operational preconditions to optimise the use of the system from a regional perspective and make the single European market a reality.
