Your trainers

Reinhard Kaisinger is a renowned expert in European Market Integration. He has 10+ years of experience in the energy sector and knows all EU rules and regulations concerning the energy market, including its technical details. He was closely involved in several major market integration milestones, including the implementation of flow-based capacity calculation. ​

For whom

  • Intermediate level 
  • This training is valuable if you want to understand the different capacity calculation methodologies used in Europe, their purpose, commonalities, and differences. A basic understanding of the functioning of European electricity markets is recommended for this training.  

What you will hear about 

  • The background of coordinated electricity capacity calculation and its role in the functioning of cross-border electricity markets. Including the regulations, methodologies and standards set by regulatory bodies and other organisations involved. 
  • How Europe is divided in Capacity Calculation Regions (CCRs) and what the importance is of cross-border cooperation and coordination mechanisms. The approaches for cross-border capacity calculation and the differences between them. Specifically, the (coordinated) Net Transmission Capacity (c)NTC and flow-based methods.  
  • The functioning of the capacity calculation process: from input gathering to validation to final computation. 
  • Outlook on the future of capacity calculation regions and methodologies
