Day three of our Energy Summit covered the nuances of physical delivery of power in various markets and settlement processes across Europe. We also looked at the power of proactive management via our powerful alerting tool.
EDIS Reserve Bidding
We started the day looking at reserve bidding and auctions processes in Denmark and Switzerland. Ismail Gyursel, product owner of Brady’s energy scheduling solution (EDIS) explained the specific nuances for these two markets. Specifically looking at messaging formats, deadlines, the various documents in involved and communications workflow.
Ismail presented new functionality released in EDIS. Explaining how customers can comfortably meet the requirements of both the Danish and Swiss TSOs (Energienet and Swissgrid). Brady customers benefit from a single place to monitor all reserve bids. They can see in real-time communications from these TSOs. This enables our customers to optimise their physical trading process.
Brady’s scheduling system allows customers to access power markets across Europe. They are compliant to the requirements of a multitude of TSOs. With the capability to react quickly to TSO alerts and an accurate view of their positions, they can make smarter, faster decisions for the timely delivery of power.
Nordic Balancing Model (NBM)
The NBM presents an ambitious roadmap for three key goals;
- Harmonising the region’s settlement process
- Facilitating European market integration
- Improving balancing market efficiency
Major changes anticipated include;
- Ongoing work to support Nordic aFRR capacity market
- Implementation of a single price model
- Changes for mFRR Energy Activations Market – leading up to Mari-platform

In this interactive session, we talked through the expectation of each workstream of the NBM roadmap. Our product team then led a candid discussion with customers, identifying impact on current business processes. Customers also contributed suggestions on system developments to support these requirements, that would best fit their internal business processes.
