SOVN - A new fundamental market model - Including individual water values and power flow constraints
Motivations and challenges
Need for a decision tool assisting robust investment decisions (new cables, increased hydropower flexibility, etc.).
Main challenges
- Computation time, due to:
- Size of the optimization problems
- The number of state variables (reservoirs)
- Representation of inflow stochasticity
