The objective of this project is to enhance the quality and reliability of the forecasts produced by the VALORE-LPM model through a set of evolutionary improvements in three key areas. First, the project focus on the integration and modeling of emerging technologies to better reflect future system dynamics. Second, it explicitly incorporate the flexible operation of nuclear generation within the model’s final optimization stage, enabling a more realistic representation of its role in system balancing. Finally, the project develop a more accurate treatment of upward and downward reserve provision by thermal units, both in deterministic runs and in Monte Carlo simulations.
