The last step towards VPP utilities: cross-market optimization

Mattijs will give an insight in the successful implementation of cross-market optimization for a 140MW combined heat and power (CHP) asset in the Port of Antwerp. The CHP produces steam for a chemical production process, but thanks to the complex optimization processes designed by Next, the asset is now valorized on different energy markets and plays a key role in supporting the Belgian transmission grid. Cross-market optimization is the last step for VPP operators to close the gap with utility power plants.
