OPTIMATE - A numerical simulation platform to recommend new electricity market designs integrating massive flexible generation in Europe

OPTIMATE is a collaborative research and demonstration project co-funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme (DG Energy)

 
The project aims at developing a numerical test platform to analyse and to validate new market designs which may allow integrating massive flexible generation dispersed in several regional power markets. OPTIMATE will therefore contribute to the construction of a pan-European electricity market.

The research and demonstration activities are performed by a consortium of five Transmission System Operators (TSO) and seven Research and Development performers, under the technical management of RTE (the French TSO) and the overall coordination of Technofi, also in charge of the dissemination activities.

The project started in October 2009 and will finish in 2012
