Popis: Significant welfare gains can be achieved by interlinking electric power systems. A major improvement in this regard has been the implementation of flow-based market coupling (FBMC) in Central Western Europe [Reseau de transportd'electricite (RTE) et al., 2015]. However, recent assessments [Entso-E, 2018] have shown that FBMC is not yet fully understood. We contrast the FBMC domain with the feasible regions in a nodal market design based on a stylized example. Our analysis reveals the essential elements of FBMC, including its positive features. We also show that certain FBMC approximations will always affect welfare to a certain extent.
