Explore the Future of Electricity Markets Modeling – Final ASSUME Workshop

Scientific meetings

Dear Colleagues,

The energy transition is transforming electricity markets—introducing new actors, complex interactions, and unprecedented uncertainty. How can we effectively model the complex dynamics of future electricity systems dominated by renewable energy? What roles do agent-based simulations and deep reinforcement learning play in predicting bidding strategies and market behavior? How can we accurately model demand-side flexibility and analyze grid integration challenges?

Join us at the final ASSUME ( https://assume-project.de/) Workshop on 9 July 2025 (09:00 – 16:30 CEST, Online via Zoom, multiple sessions) to explore our practical, hands-on approaches to these questions.

Agenda Snapshot (all times CEST)

09:00 – 09:30 Opening Session

• Why simulation tools matter

• Project overview & lightning talks

• Speakers: Prof. Dr. Anke Weidlich & ASSUME team

09:30 – 11:00 Session 1 – Adaptive Behaviour in Zero-Marginal-Cost Systems

Lead: Kim Miskiw

Format: 20 min scientific talk + 70 min hands-on in Colab

13:00 – 14:30 Session 2 – Industrial Demand-Side Management Modelling

Lead: Manish Khanra

Format: 20 min scientific talk + 70 min hands-on in Colab

15:00 – 16:30 Session 3 – Redispatch Modelling & Network Integration

Lead: Parag Patil

Format: 20 min scientific talk + 70 min hands-on in Colab

Sessions are modular—feel free to join the ones most relevant to you, though we strongly recommend the Opening Session for essential context.

Why participate?

  • Hands-on learning: Test and build agent-based market simulations using interactive notebooks (Google Colab).
  • Real-world applications: Explore scenarios including zero-marginal-cost markets, industrial flexibility, and redispatch for grid stability.

Dear Colleagues,

This is a kind reminder about our upcoming ASSUME Workshop on 9 July 2025, where we will explore hands-on methods for modeling the dynamics of future electricity systems shaped by renewable energy. If you missed our initial announcement, you can still register to attend online and join our sessions covering adaptive market behavior, industrial flexibility, and grid integration.

We are also pleased to announce an additional opportunity:
A limited number of participants can now join us in person in Karlsruhe to meet the ASSUME team and engage in the workshop sessions live.

In-person attendance is free of charge, but registration is required and spaces are limited. The deadline to register for in-person participation is 31st of June 2025.

All other workshop details, including agenda and session structure, are provided below in the original email text.

Please feel free to share this reminder with colleagues who may be interested. We look forward to your participation—virtually or in person.

Best regards,
Nick Harder
