Abstract: of thesis entitled "Network And Temporal Effects On Strategic Bidding In Electricity Markets" Submitted by Youfei Liu for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in February 2006 The global deregulation of power industries has given rise to many fascinating research topics. This thesis addresses issues of strategic bidding by power generators. The problem of strategic bidding is to optimize an individual power generation bid by maximizing profits, based on production cost, expectation of rival behavior and system demand. Electrical power flow over different links is governed by the physical law (Kirchhoff law). As a result, electrical power flow cannot be independently determined and the electricity transmission system has global network effects. One major contribution of this study is to investigate the network effects of electricity transmission on strategic bidding and analyze the network-constrained electricity market equilibria. A three-node electricity system is used for investigation. The decision space of generators is divided into the congestion-on region and congestion-off region, and the optimal response curves of generators in each region are then derived. The market equilibrium is located as the intersection of these optimal response curves. It is analytically shown that this may consist either of a unique unconstrained market equilibrium, a unique constrained market equilibrium, multiple-equilibria, or no pure Nash equilibrium. Subsequently, the interaction between transmission rights holding and market power exercising is addressed. It is shown that in the situation with a positive PTDF, holding transmission rights mitigate market power, and produce an improvement in market efficiency, while in other situations, the reverse is true. Furthermore it is demonstrated that a possible allocation of transmission rights to generators can be found to achieve maximum efficiency. Another unique characteristic of electricity markets is their notable temporal ii effects. In other words, electricity prices have significant volatilities because of the non-storability of power energy and the large variations of system demand. The second part of this study investigates the temporal effects of the electricity market on strategic bidding. A periodic dynamic feedback system is proposed to model the generation competition process. With the developed system dynamics, an optimal control problem is formulated to study the multi-period optimization behavior (called the 'advanced' strategy) of a generator, and the state-feedback control rule is then derived via a sweeping method. It is demonstrated that the generator with optimal control can obtain more profits, and a sensitivity analysis is provided to locate the market factors that affect the performance of optimal control. Next, system uncertainties are included, and a stochastic optimal control problem for generation decision is formulated and solved. Two interesting problems are investigated, namely the effect of the generator's 'advanced' strategic behavior on market efficiency, and the way in which an individual's payoff evolves with other generators' 'advanced' strategic behavior. It is shown that the 'advanced' strategic behavior of generators will improve market efficiency, while an individual's payoff evolution resembles a 'Prisoner Dilemma'. An analysis of risk management of generation decisi...

Download or read book Short Term Forward and Spot Prices in Organized Wholesale Electricity Markets written by Jeremy Larrieu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern organized wholesale electricity markets, power is sold competitively in a two-settlement auction comprised of a short-term forward (or "day-ahead") market with elastic demand, and a spot (or "real-time") imbalance market characterized by an inelastic residual demand curve - a construct that the literature on the subject tends to ignore. To understand the strategic behavior of firms looking maximize joint profits over both markets, I construct a two-settlement model of electricity prices in which firms compete to meet demand from consumers, first in quantities, then in prices. I show that the ensuing forward premium depends on the costliness of spot commitment relative to firms' ability to exercise market power by setting quantities in the forward market. Using hourly data from the California Independent System Operator, I find that the model helps explain price formation in the California market, and that the forward market solutions are close to the Cournot outcome due to the relative insensitivity of the spot equilibrium price to individual firm's forward commitment decisions.

This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book convincingly argues that from a theoretical point of view present day network industries offer opportunities for strategic behaviour and that these opportunities are also actually utilized in practice. The authors show that this behaviour can be harmful to the realization of the expected positive effects of institutional changes such as liberalization and privatization (e.g., innovation and lower prices). The authors make their case in a solid theoretical way illustrated with insightful case studies. This book is a must for academics, managers and policy makers in today s network industries. John Groenewegen, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands This in-depth book explains how institutional changes such as the privatization and liberalization of network industries, for example transport, energy or telecommunications, can frequently be disappointing. The expected benefits such as lower prices, innovation and better services fail to materialize, often because the number of competitors is low. The authors demonstrate how strategic actor behaviour of one or more of the firms involved can help explain these disappointing results. This book elucidates the concept of strategic behaviour and portrays it in real-life examples to aid our understanding of this important phenomenon in terms of policy and organizational decision-making. It clearly demonstrates the adverse effects strategic behaviour can exert on the quality of infrastructure provision after liberalization. The theoretical sections are backed by empirical examples from throughout the world. The unique multidisciplinary approach will ensure a broad readership among students, researchers and policy-makers with an interest in the economics, politics and management of infrastructure and network industries.

Abstract: In traditional power system operation, the power landscape comprises centralized generation utilities allocation where electricity is pushed one-way through transmission and distribution networks to customers. Once power imbalance occurs, generation sides are adjusted by system operator and consumption sides passively enjoy those adjustments where few interaction happens between demand sides and system. Although electricity has strong commodity attribute, its two special properties greatly shape the operation of real-time supply/demand balance of electric system. First, it cannot be economically stored. When contingency happens, system may face severe collapse even imbalance between supply and demand merely lasts within seconds. Second, the electric industry is capital intensive. These two properties determine that it costs a great amount of resources to balance system at all moments. However, the situation of one-way low-efficient power transmission has changed as the emergence of demand response. In fact, the concept of demand response has existed for decades, but it was restricted by various challenges in the past, including policy support, technology accessibility, market-wide operability and client acceptance. Luckily, with the development of smart grid and power market deregulation, those four main obstacles to involving demand response into power system operation have been gradually tackled, which leads to a more efficient bi-directional information communication and power transmission. The incorporation of demand response plays like an innovator in terms of power market operation and system dispatch. Benefits brought by it touch upon many dimensions, such as individual power consumption reliability benefits, economic benefits for both clients and entities, market-wide impact, energy efficiency, system reliability, environmental benefits, etc. Due to the minimum entrance amount requirement, demand response aggregator, an agency acting as a broker between consumers and energy supplier, is introduced in markets. In this thesis, two models involving demand response aggregators are presented in day-ahead and real-time market respectively. To investigate the optimal market mechanism and bidding strategy with the participation of demand response aggregator, scenario-based stochastic programming and robust optimization are considered. Besides, considering the development of real-time pricing, the behavior of consumer is modelled and optimized through a dynamic rolling mechanism.

Download or read book Analyzing Strategic Behaviors in Electricity Markets Via Transmission constrained Residual Demand written by Lin Xu (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation studies how to characterize strategic behaviors in electricity markets from a transmission-constrained residual demand perspective. This dissertation generalizes the residual demand concept, widely used by economists in general markets, to electricity markets, which are constrained by transmission networks. The transmission-constrained residual demand is characterized by a sensitivity analysis of the optimal power flow program, which is the electricity market clearing engine. Methods are proposed to optimize a generator or generation firm's profit utilizing the residual demand sensitivity information, which has several advantages over existing methods. The transmission-constrained residual demand concept and the methods are helpful for market participants to develop bidding strategies and for market monitors to analyze market power in electricity markets.

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
