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...

Book Understanding Strategic Bidding in Restructured Electricity Markets

Download or read book Understanding Strategic Bidding in Restructured Electricity Markets written by Ali Hortaçsu and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the bidding behavior of firms competing on ERCOT, the hourly electricity balancing market in Texas. We characterize an equilibrium model of bidding into this uniform-price divisible-good auction market. Using detailed firm-level data on bids and marginal costs of generation, we find that firms with large stakes in the market performed close to theoretical benchmarks of static, profit-maximizing bidding derived from our model. However, several smaller firms utilized excessively steep bid schedules that deviated significantly from our theoretical benchmarks, in a manner that could not be empirically accounted for by the presence of technological adjustment costs, transmission constraints, or collusive behavior. Our results suggest that payoff scale matters in firms' willingness and ability to participate in complex, strategic market environments. Finally, although smaller firms moved closer to theoretical bidding benchmarks over time, their bidding patterns contributed to productive inefficiency in this newly restructured market, along with efficiency losses due to the close-to optimal exercise of market power by larger firms.

Book Valuation Hedging and Speculation in Competitive Electricity Markets

Download or read book Valuation Hedging and Speculation in Competitive Electricity Markets written by Petter L. Skantze and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges facing participants in competitive electricity markets are staggering: high price volatility introduces significant financial risk into an industry accustomed to guaranteed rates of return, while illiquid forward markets prevent effective hedging strategies from being implemented. Valuation, Hedging and Speculation in Competitive Electricity Markets: A Fundamental Approach , examines the unique properties which separate electricity from other traded commodities, including the lack of economical storage, and the impact of a scarce transmission network. The authors trace the sources of uncertainties in the price of electricity to underlying physical and economic processes, and incorporate these into a bid-based model for electricity spot and forward prices. They also illustrate how insufficient market data can be circumvented by using a combination of price and load data in the marking- to-market process. The model is applied to three classes of problems central to the operation of any electric utility or power marketer; valuing generation assets, formulating dynamic hedging strategies for load serving obligations, and pricing transmission contracts and locational spread options. Emphasis is placed on the difference between trades which can be 'booked out' in the forward markets, and those which must be carried through to delivery. Lately, significant attention has been given to the role of regulators in mitigating excessive price levels in electricity markets. The authors conduct a quantitative analysis of the long-term effects of regulatory intervention through the use of price caps. By modeling the dynamic interplay between the observed price levels and the decision to invest in new generation assets, it is shown how such short term fixes can lead to long term deficits in the available generation capacity, and ultimately to market failures and blackouts.

Book From Regulation to Competition New frontiers in electricity markets

Download or read book From Regulation to Competition New frontiers in electricity markets written by Michael A. Einhorn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric utilities throughout the world continue to face new challenges involving ownership, market structure, and regulation. There are three related issues at hand. First, should ownership be private or public? Second, what operations should be integrated and where is competition feasible? Third, where is regulation necessary and can it be made more efficient? This volume bears directly upon these concerns. The book contains two sections. The first six articles discuss the British electricity experiment that has privatized and disintegrated the nation's generation, transmission, and distribution companies, introduced market competition for power purchases, and implemented incentive regulation for monopolized transmission and distribution grids. The remaining articles focus on the theater in which significant microeconomic issues will continue to emerge, most immediately in the U.K. and U.S.A. -- the coordination and pricing of transmission.

Book Electricity Auctions

Download or read book Electricity Auctions written by Luiz Maurer and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually every country in the world faces the challenge of designing the regulatory and financial mechanisms that ensure cost-effective procurement of generation to supply electricity demand. Historically, procurement of generation has been particularly difficult in the emerging economies of Asia, Latin America and Africa. High and usually volatile load growth rates, limited access to financing and immature electricity markets have presented obstacles that have introduced challenges to the procurement process. More recently, environmental concerns regarding land use, impact on biodiversity, indigenous populations, and greenhouse gasses emissions have added layers of complexity. Over the last 7 years, auctions for long-term electricity contracts have been getting increased attention within the electricity sector community as thet have emerged as a successful mechanism to procure new generation capacity. Among the reasons for such widespread interest is the large amount of capacity that has been already contracted from diverse technologies (conventional generation, large hydroelectric plants, renewable), under a variety of innovative auction arrangements and mechanisms, sometimes with multiple buyers and sellers taking part in the process. Auctions have been attracting a broad range of investors, from large established companies to new local and foreign independent power producers, and first-time power system investors. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the international experience in electricity auctions, focusing on the procurement of long-term electricity contracts to foster new generation capacity. To this end, several relevant case studies were selected. While focus is given to emerging countries, insightful experiences from developed markets are reported as well. The book reveals the subtlety and complexity of trading and contracting for firm generation in the current power industry and the multiplicity of formats that the corresponding regulatory instruments may adopt. Lessons learned - both positive and negative - regarding policy formulation and implementation which should be of interest to policy makers, government authorities, regulators and power sector stakeholders.

Book Equilibrium Bidding in Joint Transmission and Energy Markets

Download or read book Equilibrium Bidding in Joint Transmission and Energy Markets written by Cihan Babayiǧit and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Participants in deregulated electric power markets compete for financial transmission rights (FTRs) to hedge against losses due to transmission congestion by submitting bids to the independent system operator (ISO). The ISO obtains an FTR allocation, that maximizes sales revenue while satisfying simultaneous feasibility. This FTR allocation remains in place for a length of time during which the participants compete in the energy market to maximize their total payoff from both FTR and energy markets. Energy markets (bi-lateral, day ahead, real time) continue until the the end of the current FTR period, at which time the participants can choose to modify their FTR holdings for the next FTR period. As in any noncooperative game, finding Nash equilibrium bidding strategies is of critical importance to the participants in both FTR and energy markets. In this research, a two-tier matrix game theoretic modeling approach is developed that can be used to obtain equilibrium bidding behavior of the participants in both FTR and energy markets considering the total payoff from FTR and energy. The matrix game model presents a significant deviation from the bilevel optimization approach commonly used to model FTR and energy allocation problems. A reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm is also developed which uses a simulation model and a value maximization approach to obtain the equilibrium bidding strategies in each market. The model and the RL based solution approach allow consideration of multi-dimensional bids (for both FTR and energy markets), network contingencies, varying demands, and many participants. The value iteration based RL algorithm obtains pure strategy Nash equilibrium for FTR and energy allocation. A sample network with three buses and four participants is considered for demonstrating the viability of the game theoretic model for FTR market. A PJM network example with five buses, five generators and three loads is also considered to analyze equilibrium bidding behavior in joint FTR and energy markets. Several numerical experiments on the sample networks are conducted using the approach of statistical design of experiments (DOE) to assess impacts of variations of bid and network parameters on the market outcomes like participant payoffs and equilibrium strategies.

Book Integrating Renewables in Electricity Markets

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.
