The eBADGE approach to an intelligent pan-European balancing mechanism

The paper starts from an overview of aims and methodologies of the eBADGE project and then focuses on the issue of creating a cross-border balancing market. First, the regulatory background is clarified and then the modeling approach is illustrated in detail. First results, calculated on the basis of historical bids for the three investigated countries, are shown. These results give a rough idea of the economic advantage that the system could draw from a shared balancing market management.
