Grid solutions
N-SIDE helps system operators make optimal decisions by providing AI software solutions, from system planning to the control room of the future.
Power exchange solutions
Seamlessly match supply and demand in challenging electricity markets. N-SIDE is the trusted provider of auction-based electricity market clearing algorithms.
Forecasting
N-SIDE uses machine learning to produce a variety of forecasts for system operators, including system imbalance forecast, reserve needs forecast and congestion risk forecast.
Power Matching
This robust market clearing algorithm matches supply and demand bids in a closed-gate auction fashion, considering potential congestion and other constraints.
Outage Planning Optimization
Leverage advanced analytics to determine the optimal strategy and daily schedule for grid interventions and related outages.
Dynamic Reserves Dimensioning
TSOs: dynamically adapt reserves volume based on the real imbalance risk faced by the system using machine learning and advanced analytics.

On June 24th, the new initiative IO.Energy (Internet Of Energy) facilitated by ELIA, ORES, Fluvius, Sibelga, Resa, has organized the Ideation closing event, a first important milestone. At the end of the day, 8 projects were indeed selected to help shape the energy landscape of the future.
N-Side is proud to be part of the IO.Energy (Internet Of Energy) with the Soteria project along with Cegeka, ELIA, Fluvius, REstore part of Centrica Business solutions and Thermovault.
Belgium is a leading country in terms of demand response. However, there is still a large part of distributed flexibility that cannot be leveraged towards System Operators, due to a lack of information available. The objective of Soteria is to connect all actors required to unlock this unused distributed flexibility and ensure a proper Consumer-TSO-DSO coordination to guarantee safe operation of the grids.
The market-clearing algorithm developed by N-SIDE will optimize the activations to maximise the revenues to the sellers, minimize the costs to the system operators and ensure the grid constraints are respected.
What is the added value for the end consumer ?
- Bring additional sources of flexibility to the TSO and reduce the ancillary services costs of the system operator… which will lead to a reduction of the consumer bill!
- Bring more revenue streams to prosumers
- Be an enabler of the energy transition by unlocking greener sources of flexibility and extra flexibility to cope with the unpredictability nature of RES
