Multi-Scenario Comparison — Strategy & Grid Impact
This page enables structured comparison of two or more co-simulation scenarios with respect to grid performance, BESS utilisation, and market participation. It is designed to reveal how different EMS strategies, control configurations, or market conditions simultaneously affect economic performance and physical grid behaviour — supporting trade-off analysis rather than ranking.
Key questions
→
How does a different EMS strategy affect peak line or transformer loading?
→
Is there a trade-off between market revenue and voltage compliance?
→
Which scenario achieves better grid integration of flexibility?
→
What is the spread in grid impact across operational configurations?
→
Do different strategies result in different simultaneity patterns?
Usage note
Scenarios must use the same grid model for physically meaningful comparison. Economic comparisons are valid only when the same market price signals were used.
Research-as-a-Service platform for studying the interaction between flexible energy assets, electricity markets, and distribution-grid operation.
Research & Development
The COSIM Cockpit platform is developed within the collaborative research and development activities of the Institute for High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) — Active Energy Distribution Grids group — at RWTH Aachen University and the Fraunhofer FIT research team Digitale Energie. The work combines academic expertise in active distribution networks, grid operation and planning, and flexibility integration with applied digital-energy system development and engineering-oriented analytical tooling.

The COSIM Cockpit is a research and engineering platform developed at IAEW RWTH Aachen University and Fraunhofer FIT. Results are based on simulation models, modelling assumptions, and scenario-specific input data. Real-world system behaviour may differ from simulated outcomes. Analyses do not constitute operational guarantees or binding engineering assessments.
No warranty is provided regarding completeness, correctness, or fitness for a specific operational purpose. Users are responsible for independently validating conclusions before applying them to real-world decisions.
Research use only: This platform is designed exclusively for research and academic analysis. Results must not be used as the sole basis for investment, operational, or regulatory decisions without independent engineering validation.
Market data: Electricity price time series used in simulations (DAA/IDA from ENTSO-E Transparency Platform and EPEX Spot) are subject to the respective platform terms of use. Data are used solely for non-commercial academic research. Redistribution or commercial reuse requires separate authorisation from the original data provider.
Confidentiality: Simulation scenarios, configuration files, and result data may contain confidential project-specific information. Exported results and reports must not be shared beyond the intended audience without prior authorisation.
