Regional Coordination Centres and Their Role in European Market Coupling
摘要
This chapter describes the significant transformation of Regional Coordination Centres from their initial voluntary inception to their formal establishment in 2022 building upon the mandates of the Regional Security Coordinators. The chapter then goes on to describe the role of Regional Coordination Centres in the EU electricity system. Regional Coordination Centres are now essential in addressing the complex challenges that transcend national borders. The chapter describes them as well positioned to carry out a range of tasks from capacity calculation, coordinated security analysis, and short-term adequacy assessment to outage planning coordination and common grid model creation. The chapter concludes by describing the roles of Regional Coordination Centres in market coupling.
