Testimonials of customers having benefited from our training sessions
Robert Westmancoat
Senior Market Design Lead (UK)
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.

What you will learn:
After this training, you will:
- Understand how power prices form in auction-based markets (SDAC, SIDC, wholesale, balancing) and why they sometimes behave unexpectedly
- Master how specific market design choices – like product types, network representation, and time granularity – create different market outcomes
- Confidently discuss and recommend market design options with a clear understanding of their algorithmic and business implications

Why should I subscribe?
- Optimization drives power markets. Mathematical optimization determines which bids are accepted, why prices can be counterintuitive, and how the market really works.
- Expertise you can’t find elsewhere. Our solutions serve 1/3 of power exchanges worldwide. Most market training sessions barely touch the core optimization concepts, while university courses go too deep into theory.
- Designed for professionals. We make mathematical optimization in power markets clear, practical, and directly useful for your daily work.
