Intraday Market and Balancing Mechanism: Proactive, Not Reactive Management

The current limitations in electricity storage transform the electricity supply process into a product of complex balance and coordination, beyond just energy generation. Achieving the delicate equilibrium where every kilowatt-hour produced matches what is consumed is one of the biggest challenges for the electricity market. Within these constantly shifting dynamics, a system that instantaneously matches […]
