Europe nodal model
A nodal market model of the European transmission grid at 380 kV and above, built from public data and run hour by hour over a full test year.
Scope
What the model covers
- NetworkThe 380 kV and above grid, mapped from open data and plotted at real coordinates.
- Test yearA full-year hourly run on the 2019 test year, used to check the network and fleet against public market data.
- Version 2.0Moves from a zonal to a full-year nodal run, with improved network data.
- EngineRuns on OPEN-PCM, the Institute's open-source production cost engine: hourly dispatch with DC power flow, line losses, thermal fuel costs and wind and solar profiles, solved with the open-source HiGHS solver.
