Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we investigate the effects of the electricity market clearing mechanisms on the cost of integrating intermittent resources such as wind. We present a linear supply function equilibrium model of a conventional two settlement electricity market clearing mechanism. We then provide examples of markets for which large-scale wind integration can increase steady state cost of generation and decrease expected social welfare. These counter-intuitive examples lead us to analyse in depth mechanisms that appear to efficiently cater for uncertainty. Recently an alternative so-called stochastic settlement market has been proposed (see e.g. Pritchard et al. [80] and Bouffard et al. [30]). In such a market, the ISO co-optimizes pre-dispatch and spot in one single settlement market. By considering all possible demand realizations ahead of time, pre and spot dispatch is deemed to be scheduled more efficiently. In this thesis we consider simplified models for both stochastic settlement and conventional two settlement market clearing mechanisms. Our models are targeted towards analyzing imperfectly competitive markets. We demonstrate that the stochastic settlement market clearing mechanism can always outperform the two settlement mechanism for symmetric generators. However, we also present an example of an asymmetric market in which, contrary to intuition, the two settlement mechanism yields higher social and consumer welfare in equilibrium. Even though the stochastic settlement mechanism outperforms the two settlement mechanism most of the time, implementing such a system requires extra costs. Thus, we also present results of an empirical study to estimate the value of the stochastic settlement mechanism for New Zealand electricity market. We extend our analysis to hypothetical wind investments in the future.

Download or read book Decision Making Under Uncertainty in Electricity Markets written by Antonio J. Conejo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision Making Under Uncertainty in Electricity Markets provides models and procedures to be used by electricity market agents to make informed decisions under uncertainty. These procedures rely on well established stochastic programming models, which make them efficient and robust. Particularly, these techniques allow electricity producers to derive offering strategies for the pool and contracting decisions in the futures market. Retailers use these techniques to derive selling prices to clients and energy procurement strategies through the pool, the futures market and bilateral contracting. Using the proposed models, consumers can derive the best energy procurement strategies using the available trading floors. The market operator can use the techniques proposed in this book to clear simultaneously energy and reserve markets promoting efficiency and equity. The techniques described in this book are of interest for professionals working on energy markets, and for graduate students in power engineering, applied mathematics, applied economics, and operations research.

Download or read book Sharing Economy in Energy Markets written by Jianxiao Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to incorporate an emerging successful business model, i.e., sharing economy, into energy markets, thus digging out the potential merits and applications in multi-energy sectors. With the core idea “access over ownership”, sharing economy enables the collaborative consumption of idle resources through advanced information and communications technology. One critical challenge is to identify different market participants’ occupation while accordingly designing pricing mechanisms. This book begins with an overview about the recent development of sharing economy in energy fields, and summarizes two energy market-related issues that sharing economy can hopefully address. One is how to quantify a marginal generator’s contribution and thereby elicit truthful bidding under information asymmetry condition. The other is how to distinguish renewable and distributed energy resources’ contribution and thus incentivize efficient aggregation considering increasing scale and uncertainty. Then sharing economy mechanisms are proposed and designed from a game theory perspective. On this basis, the following chapters thoroughly investigate the specific problems in spot markets, multi-area markets, renewable energy aggregation and energy systems integration. Additionally, the benefits brought by sharing economy are evaluated in terms of regional market bidding and transmission expansion deferral. Finally, the information and communications technologies related to sharing economy are modeled and analyzed. Hopefully, this book can greatly benefit the readers who are interested in energy economics and engineering.

Download or read book Topics in Electricity Market Design written by Ruoyang Li and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of policy objectives and emergence of new technologies continually challenge the existing wholesale electricity market design. In the framework of standard market design based on locational marginal pricing (LMP) and two-settlement electricity markets, this dissertation investigates two topics for existing and future power systems -- Convergence Bidding (CB) and distribution locational marginal pricing (DLMP). The central theme that connects these two topics is market design -- determining how to create proper incentives to compensate market participants that ensures efficiency and reliability of the power grid. We first empirically test whether the California Independent System Operator's (CAISO) existing two-settlement electricity markets are efficient, and if not, to what extent CB improves market efficiency. We examine the theoretical and empirical tools intended for other financial markets to help us understand the efficacy of CB in the forward and spot electricity markets. In the light of the efficient market hypothesis, Jensen uses the zero-profit competitive equilibrium to describe the condition for market efficiency. This definition of market efficiency directly converts the test of market efficiency into the assessment of return behavior. Following this methodology, we empirically test for market efficiency by evaluating the performance of trading strategies based on market data in the CAISO electric power markets. Our backtest results show that profitable trading opportunities continue to exist in the post-CB period, but the profitability decreases substantially. The decrease in profitability in the post-CB period indicates the improvement of market efficiency, and demonstrates the benefit of CB. The profitability in the post-CB period, however, conveys empirical implications that can be interpreted differently, depending on the level of competition and the level of risk aversion of virtual traders. We further examine the use of DLMP to improve system efficiency in future power systems. DLMP is a modified form of LMP to alleviate congestion induced by electric vehicle (EV) loads on the distribution network. The distribution system operator (DSO) determines distribution locational marginal prices (DLMPs) by solving the social welfare optimization for both the conventional household demand and the EV demand with marginal costs exogenously set to LMPs. We show mathematically that the socially optimal charging schedule can be implemented through a decentralized mechanism where retailers and EV aggregators respond autonomously to the posted DLMPs by maximizing their individual net surplus in the perfectly competitive local DSO market. We further investigate the problem of designing pricing mechanism when LMPs are uncertain. A robust DLMP method is developed for EV charging management under price uncertainty. The efficacy of the proposed use of DLMP is demonstrated by means of case studies using the Bus 4 distribution system of the Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) and the Danish driving data.

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 Essays in Electricity Economics written by Brittany L. Tarufelli and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goods markets are designed and regulated at a sub-global level. Although it’s typical to assume one set of market clearing rules across regulated and unregulated regions, trade occurs across a patchwork of sub-global market designs. Not accounting for this heterogeneity in market design can lead to unanticipated outcomes from sub-global regulations, as correcting for one market failure–such as a negative externality from carbon emissions–can lead to another market failure from the market design itself when trade occurs across differing market designs. The anatomy of this second-best problem is considered in the context of U.S. electricity markets, as market clearing mechanisms vary by region, and they imperfectly overlap with state-level climate policies such as carbon prices and renewables subsidies. In Chapter I, I present a review of the theoretical and empirical literature on electricity market design and its interaction with regional climate policies. In the wholesale electricity sector, market design drives both the extent of the forward contract market and the competitiveness of the spot market, which can induce strategic behavior and affect both market and regional climate policy outcomes. Assessing climate policy outcomes under only the assumption of a centralized market design, as is customary in the literature, belies the complexity of electricity market design, which varies regionally. As there is currently an agenda to link regional electricity markets, there is also a need to study how strategic behavior across differing market designs affects emissions when regional climate policies are imposed. In Chapter II, I develop a two-stage model of oligopolistic electricity production to determine if strategic behavior in forward contract and spot markets across differing electricity market designs increases or decreases emissions leakage from regional climate policies. I find that under uncertainty from demand and renewable resource shocks, centralized market designs generally reduce market power through arbitraging away price risk between forward and spot markets. However, under an asymmetric carbon cap and trade program, resulting emissions leakage is decreased by bilateral markets, which act as a structural backstop to emissions leakage. Emissions leakage increases when bilateral markets trade with, or are integrated with centralized markets, potentially reducing the efficacy of regional climate policies. In Chapter III, I study the interaction between sub-global climate policy and sub-global design of goods markets using an example of market expansion from wholesale electricity markets–the Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) in California. Using a difference-in-differences and triple-differences framework with matching to account for self-selection, I investigate how the EIM affects emissions leakage from California’s carbon cap and trade program. I find that the EIM caused a modest increase in emissions leakage into participating regions outside California, despite the relatively small trading volumes. The results have implications for ongoing efforts to expand competitive wholesale electricity markets across regions with differing climate policies. The results of this dissertation are informative for sub-global climate policy when trade in goods markets occurs across regions with different market clearing rules. Specifically, reduced transactions costs in trade between regulated and unregulated regions may tend to exacerbate emissions leakage. These results are informative in the context of continuing changes in wholesale electricity markets, including potential market expansions and continued integration of regional electricity markets across the U.S. and the European Union.

Download or read book The Power of Change written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity, supplied reliably and affordably, is foundational to the U.S. economy and is utterly indispensable to modern society. However, emissions resulting from many forms of electricity generation create environmental risks that could have significant negative economic, security, and human health consequences. Large-scale installation of cleaner power generation has been generally hampered because greener technologies are more expensive than the technologies that currently produce most of our power. Rather than trade affordability and reliability for low emissions, is there a way to balance all three? The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies considers how to speed up innovations that would dramatically improve the performance and lower the cost of currently available technologies while also developing new advanced cleaner energy technologies. According to this report, there is an opportunity for the United States to continue to lead in the pursuit of increasingly clean, more efficient electricity through innovation in advanced technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies makes the case that America's advantagesâ€"world-class universities and national laboratories, a vibrant private sector, and innovative states, cities, and regions that are free to experiment with a variety of public policy approachesâ€"position the United States to create and lead a new clean energy revolution. This study focuses on five paths to accelerate the market adoption of increasing clean energy and efficiency technologies: (1) expanding the portfolio of cleaner energy technology options; (2) leveraging the advantages of energy efficiency; (3) facilitating the development of increasing clean technologies, including renewables, nuclear, and cleaner fossil; (4) improving the existing technologies, systems, and infrastructure; and (5) leveling the playing field for cleaner energy technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies is a call for leadership to transform the United States energy sector in order to both mitigate the risks of greenhouse gas and other pollutants and to spur future economic growth. This study's focus on science, technology, and economic policy makes it a valuable resource to guide support that produces innovation to meet energy challenges now and for the future.

Download or read book Integrating Renewables in Electricity Markets written by Juan M. Morales and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This addition to the ISOR series addresses the analytics of the operations of electric energy systems with increasing penetration of stochastic renewable production facilities, such as wind- and solar-based generation units. As stochastic renewable production units become ubiquitous throughout electric energy systems, an increasing level of flexible backup provided by non-stochastic units and other system agents is needed if supply security and quality are to be maintained. Within the context above, this book provides up-to-date analytical tools to address challenging operational problems such as: • The modeling and forecasting of stochastic renewable power production. • The characterization of the impact of renewable production on market outcomes. • The clearing of electricity markets with high penetration of stochastic renewable units. • The development of mechanisms to counteract the variability and unpredictability of stochastic renewable units so that supply security is not at risk. • The trading of the electric energy produced by stochastic renewable producers. • The association of a number of electricity production facilities, stochastic and others, to increase their competitive edge in the electricity market. • The development of procedures to enable demand response and to facilitate the integration of stochastic renewable units. This book is written in a modular and tutorial manner and includes many illustrative examples to facilitate its comprehension. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of electric energy systems, applied mathematics and economics. Practitioners in the electric energy sector will benefit as well from the concepts and techniques explained in this book.
