Electricity market models are utilized at TotalEnergies to forecast day-ahead market prices and generation by type. However, market outcomes may not always align with real-time conditions, and scheduled generation or consumption often changes during the delivery day. To maintain reliable electricity delivery, generation redispatch is implemented as a preventive measure for secure real-time operation. The time frame for the market model typically spans 5 to 10 years, while grid modelling generally covers upcoming hours. This internship will examine methods for selecting the most representative hours from market modelling to forecast redispatch volumes through grid modelling.

As a Redispatch Forecasting in Power Systems M/F trainee, your missions will be:

• Understand the causes and mechanisms of redispatch in European electricity markets.

• Develop an existing modeling chain that links market results from PLEXOS with grid constraints in PowerFactory.

• Develop an algorithm to select representative days from market modelling to grid modelling

• Simulate scenarios to estimate redispatch volumes under different weather years

• Analyze the impact of renewables, congestion, and market design on redispatch needs.

You will evolve within a team of experienced professionals and with a tutor-coach, the reference for your future profession. Individualized support will help you develop your autonomy and lead you to your diploma!
