| Objectives | The focus of the trial is to understand how to deliver a link between DNO procurement activity and Balance Responsible Party (BRP) imbalance positions.As such the project will look to trial a short-term marketplace for the procurement of DNO flexibility. This will trial an active rebalancing link to the intraday market operated by Nord Pool as well as an information exchange with day-ahead markets. The project also aims to open up for independent aggregators to participate alongside BRPs. The trial will be broken into five work packages based around two trials. These trials will consist of a test of NODES ShortFlex service for DNO flexibility, followed by a more comprehensive trial with automated rebalancing of imbalance positions through the integration with the GB intraday market.The work packages are: WP1 Project Management and reporting WP2 Detailed Stakeholder Engagement & Market Design WP3 NODES System & Process build WP4 WPD System & Process build WP5 Trial WP2 will include an extensive engagement piece with potential stakeholders to refine the proposed market design and validate assumptions and value flows.WP3 will focus on the development of the NODES platform and its deployment within WPD. The development work will be carried out at NODES expense.WP4 includes the design of new Payment Mechanics, the build of a link between the NODES platform and dispatch processes, a review of procurement law and analysis on the ability to target future audits with existing data. WP5 will trial the platform. This will be broken into two sub-trials, with the initial phase looking to test the short term flexibility markets and the second phase testing the full intraday rebalancing link. The objective of the project is to develop learning on The operability of short term flexibility markets The value of increased information at the day ahead stage to suppliers The value of an integrated link for rebalancing in the intra-day market | |
