MARKET DESIGN
Expert insight into innovative market design questions
Our deep experience in energy markets and strong background in applied mathematics enable our consultants to advise system operators and power exchanges on a variety of market design challenges.
Your partner from design
to deployment
Discover
We work to understand your market design questions and explore multiple approaches to answering them based on industry best practices and the latest academic literature.
We evaluate these approaches against key dimensions such as regulatory compliance, algorithm and IT complexity, and incentives parameters in order to identify the most promising solutions.
Develop
We develop understandable examples and build test cases. Thanks to our modeling capabilities, we are able to begin testing and prototyping at an early stage of the project. Using quantitative results, we help you select the optimal design option.
Create
We work closely with you to co-create a scalable market design solution. Market design services are also available to support the adoption of our existing products, such as the Power Matching Solution for market clearing.
Real-world examples
“Statnett engaged N-SIDE in the project “System balancing solutions with detailed grid data” in order to explore solutions that facilitate participation in the upcoming European balancing platforms, while at the same time handling intra-zonal grid constraints. N-SIDE worked in a very structured way, keeping a continuous and fruitful collaboration with us during the whole project, which ended up with identifying several promising solutions that will be further developed in follow-up project”

Power Matching Algorithm
N-SIDE's Power Matching solutions for system operators and power exchanges are robust market clearing algorithms optimizing supply and demand matching in a closed-gate auction fashion.
Production planning optimization
N-SIDE experts can help you optimize all steps of manufacturing and drug flow (e.g. quantities, timing, allocation) across the clinical supply chain, from formulation to packaging and beyond.
Adapt your manufacturing to real-time events, manage risks, and plan up to 10 years out. If you have scarce resources, a complex manufacturing network, or a large amount of products, this service delivers valuable visibility, control, and waste reduction.
Strategic manufacturing
decisions optimization
Many important decisions need to be made in R&D manufacturing/CMC. Outsourced or in-house manufacturing? Which network should I use? What’s the optimal stability plan? What’s the best way to handle scale-up to Phase 3 and the transition to commercial?
N-SIDE clinical manufacturing specialists will use our software to optimize the most important strategic decisions for your program, delivering important cost savings and waste reduction.
Change management
Transitioning to a digital, data-driven clinical supply chain requires more than technology; it demands adaptation throughout the business.
N-SIDE experts will support your change management journey, starting with a clear vision associated with measurable added value for R&D efficiency.
Keeping this purpose in mind, N-SIDE will help your teams take advantage of advanced analytics to become a truly data-driven organization.
End-to-end program optimization
By optimizing manufacturing for the entire clinical program and optimizing supply for each individual trial, we can typically free up to 50% of the initially planned quantities and accelerate time to commercialization by 2-6 months.
We accomplish this by reducing drug needs at the trial level and limiting manufacturing waste. That enables us to either cancel production lots and re-allocate the resources to new programs, or to re-invest that drug into increased sites and recruitment speed.
