N-SIDE ran an excellent two-day training course for us covering a breadth and depth of topics on power markets; they made the subjects interesting as well as enlightening, and really helped us to deepen our understanding
Thomas Van Den Broucke
Team Lead Offshore & Interconnector market concepts
N-SIDE combines deep technical expertise with an ability to simplify complex market topics. The session provided us with a clearer understanding of the real functioning of power market algorithms and its underlying complexity. Through constructive collaboration with TSOs and NEMOs, we jointly managed to drive improvements in market coupling algorithms.
