Introduction Electricity is a complex commodity. ◮ Few possibilities of storage . ◮ Every second , production must equal consumption . ◮ Ensured in practice by the following steps: 1. Before real-time , actors trade expected quantities and 2. the system operator contracts reserve in case of mismatch. 3. In real-time , the system operator ensures the balance by activating the reserve . 4. Actors pay an imbalance fee proportional to their quantity of imbalance. Historically, reserve has always been provided by production units. Objective of the paper Quantify the impact of the introduction of flexible loads in the secondary reserve market . S. Mathieu, Q. Louveaux, D. Ernst, B. Corn´ elusse , A quantitative analysis of the effect of flexible loads on reserve markets 3/18
