Title:  Coordinating Cross-Country Congestion Management: Evidence from Central Europe
Classification-JEL: F0
Volume:  Volume 37
Issue:  Sustainable Infrastructure Development and Cross-Border Coordination
Year:  2016
Abstract:  We employ a detailed two-stage model to simulate the operation of the Central Eastern European electricity market and network. Implementing different cases of coordination in congestion management between national transmission system operators, numerical results show the beneficial impact of closer cooperation. Specific steps comprise the sharing of network and dispatch information, cross-border counter-trading, and multilateral redispatch in a flow-based congestion management framework. Efficiency gains are accompanied by distributional effects. Closer economic cooperation becomes especially relevant against the background of changing spatial generation patterns, deeper international integration of national systems, and spillovers of national developments to adjacent systems.
