Can NorNed be modelled as DE_NL? #106

Closed ChaelKruip closed 10 years ago

ChaelKruip commented 10 years ago

It is proposed to model NorNed as a virtual power plant with varying marginal cost. For Germany we made the assumption that the DE price is independent on whether NL is importing or exporting. The justification is that the DE demand is many times bigger than the NL.

Is this argument valid for Norway / Denmark as well? I would think so, but I would like to have some numbers to back up my gut feeling. @AlexanderWirtz can you give your opinion and possibly some quantitative arguments?

I was under the iumpression that Bert den Ouden described exactly how he would define this price curve in the Powerpoint presentation they shared with us last week. Am I wrong?

I quote:

  • Hangt af van de uurlijkse prijsverwachting in 2023, te bepalen a.d.h.v. historische data.
  • Vaste uitgangspunten voor interconnectiecapaciteit 2023

Seems like he want to use a price curve as well. My issue is, that if NorNed is the second 'virtual power plant' (besides Germany), we might get some funky situations when post-processing the data. For example, we might use German Import to export to Norway...

I'll make an issue about this particular problem.

We have decided with Niki Lintmeijer from Berenschot that we are going to model NorNed and Denmark as a time-resolved increase or decrease in NL demand.

Closing.
