Yves Langer
Inventive solutions for complex electricity markets.
I help electricity market operators and related organisations turn complex design, pricing, congestion and balancing questions into clear, workable decisions.
Independent expertise shaped by market design responsibility at the Belgian power exchange, including a leading role in the development of the European day-ahead market coupling algorithm, and by specialised consulting support.

What I help with
Focused expertise where the design details matter.
Pricing, Congestion And Balancing
Support on pricing mechanisms, congestion management, balancing arrangements, and the implications of cross-zonal coordination.
Analytical Support
Practical use of modelling, optimisation, and advanced analytical methods to test design choices and improve decision quality.
Training And Clarification
Workshops, technical explanations, and decision notes that help teams align around complex market concepts without losing precision.
How I work
Specialist support, shaped around the assignment.
Direct Expert Support
For market operators and related organisations that need focused input on a specific design question, decision process, or technical challenge.
Support To Larger Teams
For consulting firms or project teams that need a senior specialist contribution without presenting Smart Vision as the lead contractor.
Workshops And Reviews
For situations where a team needs a structured discussion, a second opinion, or a clear explanation of complex market mechanics.
Positioning
Calm, precise, and close to implementation.
Smart Vision is designed for contexts where electricity market design is not just a policy question, but a practical decision that affects operations, algorithms, governance, balancing processes, and stakeholders. The perspective combines in-house market design responsibility with subsequent specialised consulting work.
