Introducing a handbook on European Electricity Market Coupling
This highly anticipated handbook covers the entire spectrum of European Electricity Market Coupling. It offers a comprehensive overview of the EU’s efforts to create an Internal Energy Market. The book explores the history, principles, and the roles of all key actors in Single Day-Ahead and Intraday Coupling. It also takes a deep dive into the framework of market coupling, as well as the day-ahead and intraday algorithms.
As publisher Springer Nature puts it:
“𝘈𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵-𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦.”
