Abstract

A set of design variables is used to define balancing market design. Performance criteria are defined and the market designs are evaluated using weights and scores for each performance criterion. It is concluded that solutions based on trading between Balancing Service Providers and Transmission System Operators will reduce socio-economic welfare. Major causes for this result are a reduction of the effectiveness of the balancing markets, a reduction in balancing planning accuracy, a reduction in price efficiency and a decrease in dynamic efficiency. The designs with a Common Merit Order List perform well in the evaluation, although reservation of cross-border capacity will be a challenge.
