A comprehensive expert training for energy market professionals given by our most senior consultants.

Nodis Consulting now offers its Energy Flexibility Advanced Training to external organisations. Developed from our hands-on consulting experience in the Belgian and European energy markets, this training gives participants a thorough understanding of how flexibility works — from the physics of grid balancing to the commercial mechanics of market participation. The program combines conceptual depth with worked exercises, equipping teams that operate, trade and develop flexibility services or markets and want to understand what's what.

The training contains following topics.

Flexibility — what and why?

An introduction to flexibility, the markets and system services that need it and where it can be valorised.

Balance responsibility deep dive

How the electricity system stays balanced in real time: the role of the BRP, how imbalance is forecasted, priced and settled, and how implicit balancing helps the TSO and the BRP's P&L.

Explicit balancing deep dive

A deep look into balancing markets: the role of the BSP, the balancing market design, procurement timelines, European platform integration, capacity and energy settlement mechanics, and BSP > TSO integration.

Congestion measures and markets deep dive

The new kid around the block asking for flexibility. How system operators address local grid congestion through market-based and cost-based mechanisms and regulatory instruments — from grid tariffs to local flex markets and flexible connection agreements.

The capabilities to valorise flex

An overview for anyone desiring to unlock flexibility and its value on the market. Identification of the capabilities needed to valorise flexibility, from upstream trading and power optimisation to downstream asset connection and virtual power plants.
