Embarking on the frontier of applied research for the electricity sector, our proposed activity deals with the application of an advanced techno-economic modelling methodologies on acquisition mechanisms (i.e., connection agreements, network tariffs, flexibility markets, etc) for pivotal system services (i.e., frequency control, congestion management, voltage support). A state-of-the-art simulation platform, born from these models, will be developed as a post-doc activity to unlock detailed quantitative analyses, mirroring real-world intricacies. By modelling the interactions and interdependencies among the acquisition mechanisms, this integrated approach aims to provide a more holistic and accurate representation of the system, leading to better-informed decision-making and more efficient mechanism designs.
