Background: Nord Pool market

Nord Pool: power trading market

  • f

Nordic and Baltic countries. The auctioning countries are divided into bidding areas linked with interconnectors controlled by the TSOs. If the power flows between the bidding areas exceed the interconnectors transmission limit, grid congestion

  • ccurs.

Bottlenecks in the interconnectors lead to different prices in the various areas composing the Nordic electric system.

Benefits of interconnectors capacity expansion

Interconnectors are one of the main power price drivers in the Nordic countries Interconnectors are essential for the integration of variable power sources

Interesting to assess their role and their influence on the power trade

TIMES-NordPool

TIMES-NordPool: represents the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish power and thermal systems. Purposes:

  • To

be run together with TIMES-DK to better simulate power trade processes

  • Exploring

the future power exchange between the Nordic countries under different assumptions

  • Assessing transmission capacity expansion

under different scenarios

Assumptions for the analysis

All analyses on the power trade between the Nordic countries have been performed using TIMES-NordPool hard-linked to TIMES-DK. Baseline scenario considers:

  • DKW and DKE: power and thermal system fossil free by 2035, entire energy system

fossil free by 2050

  • NOR, FIN, SWE: no environmental constraints (NETP Carbon Neutral scenario is

implemented but not activated)

expansion

  • Possible new interconnectors from

ENTSO-E in Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2014 (TYNDP)

Conclusions

TIMES-NPM hard-linked to TIMES-DK allows:

  • Calculating endogenously the power prices and volumes between Denmark and the

rest of the Nordic countries  Limiting the risk of the assumptions on the exogenous trade processess for the Danish interconnectors

  • Optimizing endogenously the transmission grid expansion
  • Assessing for the Nordic interconnectors the cost thresholds within which they are

feasible

  • Assessing for each Nordic country the average increase of power prices if the

planned interconnectors are not built
