Automated Energy Management Solutions Addressing Market Challenges in France

The presentation highlights the challenges of negative pricing in the French energy market, exacerbated by regulatory changes starting in late 2022 and continuing through early 2026. Asset owners must either comply with new obligations or receive incentives during negative price periods, prompting a push for automation in curtailment processes to reduce the load on operators and traders. Proposed solutions include an automated energy management system capable of handling up to 215 manual interventions reported in recent months, optimizing decision-making through real-time pricing forecasts. A prototype tested across 40 systems demonstrated its effectiveness in managing over 3,000 curtailment events by automating scheduling based on user-defined parameters. The integration of reliable, certified hardware and a flexible scheduling system aims to mitigate the financial impacts of curtailments and enhance energy production efficiency. The necessity for clear regulatory frameworks around PV inverter curtailment is also emphasized, as current ambiguities leave operators at a disadvantage in their decision-making processes.
