New Third-Party Funded Project on probalistic flow-based domain for the European Electricity Market

Starting April 1, 2026, a new three-year research project will be carried out at the Chair of Energy Economics at TU Dresden, focusing on the further development of Flow-Based Market Coupling (FBMC) in Europe. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and conducted in collaboration with Fraunhofer IWU and the industry partners 50Hertz and Return on Data.

The project centers on the development of probabilistic flow-based domains, aimed at enabling a more robust and efficient use of cross-border transmission capacities. In this way, it contributes to the advancement of FBMC as a key mechanism of European electricity market integration under increasingly volatile system conditions.

A particular focus lies on transferring an industrially proven methodology to the energy economics context. By combining physics-based grid modeling with data-driven approaches for complexity reduction, the project seeks to develop new methodological solutions for large-scale market coupling applications.

The Chair of Energy Economics at TU Dresden looks forward to the collaboration and gratefully acknowledges the trust and support of all project partners.
