Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electricity market has experienced enormous setbacks in delivering on the promise of deregulation. In theory, deregulating the electricity market would increase the efficiency of the industry by producing electricity at lower costs and passing those cost savings on to customers. As Electricity Deregulation shows, successful deregulation is possible, although it is by no means a hands-off process—in fact, it requires a substantial amount of design and regulatory oversight. This collection brings together leading experts from academia, government, and big business to discuss the lessons learned from experiences such as California's market meltdown as well as the ill-conceived policy choices that contributed to those failures. More importantly, the essays that comprise Electricity Deregulation offer a number of innovative prescriptions for the successful design of deregulated electricity markets. Written with economists and professionals associated with each of the network industries in mind, this comprehensive volume provides a timely and astute deliberation on the many risks and rewards of electricity deregulation.

Download or read book Electricity Market Reform written by Fereidoon Sioshansi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1980s, policy makers and regulators in a number of countries have liberalized, restructured or “deregulated their electric power sector, typically by introducing competition at the generation and retail level. These experiments have resulted in vastly different outcomes - some highly encouraging, others utterly disastrous. However, many countries continue along the same path for a variety of reasons. Electricity Market Reform examines the most important competitive electricity markets around the world and provides definitive answers as to why some markets have performed admirably, while others have utterly failed, often with dire financial and cost consequences. The lessons contained within are direct relevance to regulators, policy makers, the investment community, industry, academics and graduate students of electricity markets worldwide. Covers electicity market liberalization and deregulation on a worldwide scale Features expert contributions from key people within the electricity sector

Book excerpt: This timely study evaluates four generic proposals for allowing free market forces toreplace government regulation in the electric power industry and concludes that none of thederegulation alternatives considered represents a panacea for the performance failures associatedwith things as they are now. It proposes a balanced program of regulatory reform and deregulationthat promises to improve industry performance in the short run, resolve uncertainties about thecosts and benefits of deregulation, and positions the industry for more extensive deregulation inthe long run should interim experimentation with deregulation, structural, and regulatory reformsmake it desirable.The book integrates modern microeconomic theory with a comprehensive analysis ofthe economic, technical, and institutional characteristics of modern electrical power systems. Itemphasizes that casual analogies to successful deregulation efforts in other sectors of the economyare an inadequate and potentially misleading basis for public policy in the electric power industry,which has economic and technical characteristics that are quite different from those in otherderegulated industries.Paul L. Joskow is Professor of Economics at MIT, author of ControllingHospital Costs (MIT Press 1981) and coauthor with Martin L. Baughman and Dilip P. Kamat of ElectricPower in the United States (MIT Press 1979).

Download or read book The Economics of Electricity Markets written by Darryl R. Biggar and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges the knowledge gap between engineering and economics in a complex and evolving deregulated electricity industry, enabling readers to understand, operate, plan and design a modern power system With an accessible and progressive style written in straight-forward language, this book covers everything an engineer or economist needs to know to understand, operate within, plan and design an effective liberalized electricity industry, thus serving as both a useful teaching text and a valuable reference. The book focuses on principles and theory which are independent of any one market design. It outlines where the theory is not implemented in practice, perhaps due to other over-riding concerns. The book covers the basic modelling of electricity markets, including the impact of uncertainty (an integral part of generation investment decisions and transmission cost-benefit analysis). It draws out the parallels to the Nordpool market (an important point of reference for Europe). Written from the perspective of the policy-maker, the first part provides the introductory background knowledge required. This includes an understanding of basic economics concepts such as supply and demand, monopoly, market power and marginal cost. The second part of the book asks how a set of generation, load, and transmission resources should be efficiently operated, and the third part focuses on the generation investment decision. Part 4 addresses the question of the management of risk and Part 5 discusses the question of market power. Any power system must be operated at all times in a manner which can accommodate the next potential contingency. This demands responses by generators and loads on a very short timeframe. Part 6 of the book addresses the question of dispatch in the very short run, introducing the distinction between preventive and corrective actions and why preventive actions are sometimes required. The seventh part deals with pricing issues that arise under a regionally-priced market, such as the Australian NEM. This section introduces the notion of regions and interconnectors and how to formulate constraints for the correct pricing outcomes (the issue of "constraint orientation"). Part 8 addresses the fundamental and difficult issue of efficient transmission investment, and finally Part 9 covers issues that arise in the retail market. Bridges the gap between engineering and economics in electricity, covering both the economics and engineering knowledge needed to accurately understand, plan and develop the electricity market Comprehensive coverage of all the key topics in the economics of electricity markets Covers the latest research and policy issues as well as description of the fundamental concepts and principles that can be applied across all markets globally Numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems Companion website holding solutions to problems set out in the book, also the relevant simulation (GAMS) codes

Download or read book Dynamic Noncooperative Game Models for Deregulated Electricity Markets written by Jose Behar Cruz and published by Nova Science Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2009 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deregulated electricity markets are expected to be perfectly competitive, yet they remain oligopolistic in which the market participants are able to exercise market power to "game" the markets. Game theory, by its nature, is considered as the appropriate framework to study the interactive behaviours of decision makers with conflict of interest. Substantial research has been devoted to study gaming behaviour in the deregulated electricity market using game theory. However, most of the modelling of the markets is static and this type of model leads to non-optimal results for long-term strategic planning due to the inherent dynamic nature of the market. This book formulates and describes the gaming behaviour in the deregulated electricity market from a dynamic point of view, considering long-term interests in a changing environment. It starts with a review of the current situation of deregulation and a brief review of near-term energy issues. The book includes the latest results on bidding dynamic strategies for such markets.

Download or read book Power System Energy Imbalance Settlement in Deregulated Electricity Market written by Mingming Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In regulated electricity market the difference between forecast demand and actual demand is balanced by additional generation from the cheapest available source after network security is taken into consideration. The electricity price to supply this difference in demand forecast error is already pre-fixed through the bulk supply tariff. In deregulated market many of the current market structures rely on bilateral contracts for trading. This means that the amount of electricity purchased is pre-determined with the price or pricing method specified in the contract. In the event that the forecast does not agree with the actual demand, the difference is taken from the balancing market. The price for this difference in energy is not known until after the event. The financial settlement for this imbalance energy is different from the normal contract settlement. In the ideal case the imbalance should be zero but this is almost impossible as the contracted values are usually based on demand forecasts and which contain errors. The imbalance settlement thus depends very much on the electricity prices of the real time balancing market, and also on the structure of the balancing market which could be different from one country to another and could even be different for different markets within the same country. This thesis begins by reviewing the 5 typical electricity markets (UK, US, Australian, New Zealand and Argentina) in the world on aspects of dispatching method, trading inside the Pool and trading outside the Pool. The existing arrangement, balance & imbalance settlement method of each electricity market will be presented. The IEEE 30-bus system will be taken as the illustrate example, detailed comparison of total revenue income and load total payment has been conducted among the different settlement systems of each electricity market. Although some of these methods are very reliable and have been used extensively, as the limitation of the fuel and development of the renewable source, the Distributed Generator (DG) access, they may not be economical given the probability of contingencies and changes in the market environment. As a new application, a Dual use of electricity storage method is proposed to solve the imbalance settlement problem. The Dual Use Distributed Generator (DUDG) could access the real time market for balancing the errors from the demand forecast, no matter the demand increases or reduces, with a reasonable price both for generation side and the distribution side.
Download or read book Deregulated Electricity in Texas written by R. A. Dyer and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September, 1999, Texas enacted its groundbreaking retail electric deregulation law. Although not immediate in effect, the legislation eventually ushered in some of the biggest changes ever for Texas electricity consumers. No longer would giant, vertical-integrated utilities maintain their monopoly grip on home electricity service. No longer would Austin political appointees determine directly the price of air conditioning and lighting in all parts of Texas.In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the law, the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power has released an updated version if its signature report, Electric Deregulation in Texas: A Market Chronicle. The book, organized chronologically in a year-by-year fashion, describes key deregulation-related events, beginning with those years prior to the adoption of the 1999 law and up through 2019. It includes more than 20 sequential chapters, each focusing on individual years. The report updates an earlier version first released in 2009 by TCAP for the law's 10-year anniversary.
