Market design analysis and role modelling: Methodology and first results

A methodology is proposed to analyze and characterize existing and potential future market designs, encompassing the specificities met in different countries. The objective is to build an integrated and coherent vision of the different roles (or archetypes of players) in the electricity systems and their interactions (i.e. detailed “role models”) both at the present time (or in the near future) and for different scenarios at the horizon 2030. The paper describes the methodology and the first results of its application to current market and service layers.
