Description
Elia Transmission Belgium operates a grid with a high penetration of PV-production capacity, offshore wind parks, DC cables and a particular geographical position, between the biggest consumers of the European grid – Germany and France. The exploitation happens parallel to one of the most challenging infrastructure portfolios in the whole of Europe, implying many outages happening at any given time.
The first topic is the use of forecasts in the congestion management domain. Elia has designed several processes to balance the need of outages while limiting the impact on the market. In these processes, a particular role is played by the renewable forecasts.
In a second part, Predico will be highlighted, an innovative platform designed by the Elia Group Innovation Department, that aims at improving the forecast Elia uses internally and publishes as well. It lowers the entry barriers for forecasting companies and drives innovation, by rewarding forecasters based on their performance.
