We study investment equilibria in electricity and gas markets wherein electricity producers and natural gas suppliers behave strategically. We consider also hybrid producers that own both generating units and gas sources. Each strategic producer determines its investment decisions in gas-fired units, and its offering and bidding strategies to maximize its own profit, anticipating electricity and gas market-clearing outcomes. Producers owning gas-fired units submit bids to the gas market to procure fuel and offers to the electricity market to sell electricity. The resulting model is recast as an equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints that we solve using a direct approach. Numerical results from two test systems illustrate the proposed methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study market equilibria that are achieved by strategic firms that participate in electricity and natural gas markets. Strategic firms submit their offers and bids to both markets with the aim of maximizing profit or utility and we consider firms that can include a combination of electricity and natural gas supply and demand. The strategic actions of these firms are represented by upper-level problems that are optimized subject to shared lower-level problems that represent the clearing of electricity and natural gas markets. This market structure and our modeling approach yields a multiple-leader/two-follower complementarity problem. We develop a modeling approach that can find equilibria with different characteristics, e.g., maximized social welfare, producer profits, or consumer welfare. We demonstrate numerically that producers aim typically to increase market prices while consumers seek to decrease them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Restructuring and liberalisation of the electricity industry creates opportunities for investment in energy storage, which could be undertaken by a profit-maximising merchant storage operator. Because such a firm is concerned solely with maximising its own profit, the resulting storage-investment decision may be socially suboptimal (or detrimental). This paper develops a bi-level model of an imperfectly competitive electricity market. The modelling framework assumes electricity-generation and storage-operations decisions at the lower level and storage investment at the upper level. Our analytical results demonstrate that a relatively high (low) amount of market power in the generation sector leads to low (high) storage-capacity investment by the profit-maximising storage operator relative to a welfare maximiser. This can result in net social welfare losses with a profit-maximising storage operator compared to a no-storage case. Moreover, there are guaranteed to be net social welfare losses with a profit-maximising storage operator if the generation sector is sufficiently competitive. Using a charge on generation ramping between off- and on-peak periods, we induce the profit-maximising storage operator to invest in the same level of storage capacity as the welfare-maximising firm. Such a ramping charge can increase social welfare above the levels that are attained with a welfare-maximising storage operator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many principles underlying the design of restructured electricity markets that are in-use today were developed over three decades ago when power systems were considerably different than today’s and tomorrow’s systems are. Systems of the past typically relied on large dispatchable thermal generators to supply energy. This can be contrasted with power systems today, which are experiencing rising penetrations of weather-dependent renewable energy sources that have limited dispatchability. Moreover, many power systems are experiencing growing adoption of distributed energy resources and novel uses of electric energy by end customers, which adds to demand uncertainty and variability. However, these technologies also provide opportunities for more active participation of the demand-side in maintaining system reliability and service quality. Given these marked changes in the architecture of electric power systems, we are at a unique point at which the tenets of restructured electricity market design can be re-evaluated. While this re-examination is largely driven by changes in power system designs, we can also rely on lessons learned from the past three decades of market-restructuring experience. In this paper, we highlight some of the challenges in designing electricity markets brought about by changes in system designs. We also discuss a number of lessons learned from market designs that have been implemented. We then suggest some important principles that should underlie future reforms of electricity market designs and raise design questions that require further research and examination.

This paper proposes a pricing scheme for the day-ahead market in power systems with a large percentage of renewable stochastic production. To clear the day-ahead market, instead of a simplistic deterministic model, we use a two-stage stochastic programming model that embodies a prognosis of future operating conditions. Non-convexities due to start-up costs and the on/off status of generators and their minimum power outputs are properly taken into account. Our goal is to obtain uniform day-ahead clearing prices that deviate in the least possible manner from marginal prices and that allow producers to recover their costs without uplifts. The proposed methodology is illustrated using a simple example and a realistic case study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The smart grid technology enables an increasing level of responsiveness on the demand side, facilitating demand serving entities—large consumers and retailers—to procure their electricity needs under the best conditions. Such entities generally exhibit a proactive role in the pool, seeking to procure their energy needs at minimum cost. Within this framework, we propose a mathematical model to help large consumers to derive bidding strategies to alter pool prices to their own benefit. Representing the uncertainty involved, we develop a stochastic complementarity model to derive bidding curves, and show the advantages of such bidding scheme with respect to non-strategic ones.

Renewable energy sources are here to stay for a number of important reasons, including global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels. We explore in this paper how a thermal-dominated electric energy system can be transformed into a renewable-dominated one. This study relies on a stochastic programming model that allows representing the uncertain parameters plaguing such long-term planning exercise. Being the final year of our analysis 2050, we represent the transition from today to 2050 by allowing investment in both production and transmission facilities, with the target of achieving a renewable-dominated minimum-cost system. The methodology developed is illustrated using a realistic large-scale case study. Finally, policy conclusions are drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The first of this two-paper series proposes a methodology to characterize generation investment equilibria in a pool-based network-constrained electricity market, where the producers behave strategically. To this end, the investment problem of each strategic producer is represented using a bilevel model, whose upper-level problem determines the optimal investment and the supply offering curves to maximize its profit, and whose several lower-level problems represent different market clearing scenarios. This model is transformed into a mathematical program with equilibrium constraint (MPEC) through replacing the lower-level problems by their optimality conditions. The joint consideration of all producer MPECs, one per producer, constitutes an equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints (EPEC). To identify the solutions of this EPEC, each MPEC problem is replaced by its Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, which are in turn linearized. The resulting mixed-integer linear system of equalities and inequalities allows determining the EPEC equilibria through an auxiliary MILP problem. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

We consider a strategic producer that trades its energy in a multi-period network-constrained electricity pool and, for strategic reasons, is interested in identifying its rival producers' offer prices. Considering industry practice, we assume that the strategic producer has knowledge of the daily market outcomes, i.e., energy quantities sold/bought and resulting locational marginal prices (LMPs) for each time period and all nodes of the network. Using this information we formulate an inverse optimization problem that allows estimating the rival producers' offer prices that have been marginal at any of the time periods under study. Such problem is well behaved, effectively identifies rival offer prices and can be efficiently solved. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is illustrated through a simple example and a realistic case study. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper presents a technique to derive the best offering strategy for a wind power producer in an electricity market that includes various trading floors. Uncertainty pertaining to wind availability, market prices at the different trading stages, and balancing energy needs are properly taken into account. Risk on profit variability is suitably controlled at the cost of a small reduction in expected profit. The proposed technique translates into a linear programming problem of moderate size, which is readily solvable using commercially available software. A variety of numerical case studies demonstrate the interest and effectiveness of the proposed technique. Appropriate conclusions are duly drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper considers a strategic power producer that trades electric energy in an electricity pool. It provides a procedure to derive the optimal offering strategy of this producer. A multiperiod network-constrained market-clearing algorithm is considered. Uncertainty on demand bids and offering strategies of rival producers is also modeled. The proposed procedure to derive strategic offers relies on a bilevel programming model whose upper-level problem represents the profit maximization of the strategic producer while the lower-level one represents the market clearing and the corresponding price formation. This bilevel model is reduced to a mixed-integer linear programming problem using the duality theory and the Karush.-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions. Results from an illustrative example and a case study are reported and discussed. Finally, some relevant conclusions are duly drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a methodology to determine the required level of spinning and nonspinning reserves in a power system with a high penetration of wind power. The computation of the required reserve levels and their costs is achieved through a stochastic programming market-clearing model spanning a daily time horizon. This model considers the network constraints and takes into account the cost of both the load shedding and the wind spillage. The methodology proposed is illustrated using an example and a realistic case study. Some conclusions are finally drawn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To make informed decisions in futures markets of electric energy, stochastic programming models are commonly used. Such models treat stochastic processes via a set of scenarios, which are plausible realizations throughout the decision-making horizon of the stochastic processes. The number of scenarios needed to accurately represent the uncertainty involved is generally large, which may render the associated stochastic programming problem intractable. Hence, scenario reduction techniques are needed to trim down the number of scenarios while keeping most of the stochastic information embedded in such scenarios. This paper proposes a novel scenario reduction procedure that advantageously compares with existing ones for electricity-market problems tackled via two-stage stochastic programming.

In an electricity market cleared by a merit-order economic dispatch we first identify the necessary conditions for the market outcomes supported by pure strategy Nash equilibria (NE) to exist when generating companies (Gencos) game through their incremental cost offers or supply functions. A Genco may own any number of units, each offering to generate power through an incremental cost curve or supply function consisting of multiple blocks. Then, we develop a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) scheme to find the NE without approximations or iterations. In Part 11 of this paper, we show how to use these NE to derive a dominant offer strategy in terms of gaming or not gaming that best meet the risk/benefit expectations of the participating Gencos. The MILP scheme is tested on several systems of up to 39 generating units, each with four incremental cost blocks. Finally, based on these results, we carry out a number of numerical analyses of how market power is influenced by the number and size of the competing Gencos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a novel technique to forecast day-ahead electricity prices based on the wavelet transform and ARIMA models. The historical and usually ill-behaved price series is decomposed using the wavelet transform in a set of better-behaved constitutive series. Then, the future values of these constitutive series are forecast using properly filled ARIMA models. In turn, the ARIMA forecasts allow, through the inverse wavelet transform, reconstructing the future behavior of the price series and therefore to forecast prices. Results from the electricity market of mainland Spain in year 2002 are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pool-based electricity markets can be simulated with various degrees of accuracy. When compared to actual markets, most of the simulators produce outcomes than cannot be extrapolated beyond the specific scenario analyzed. This is most critical for regulators and market participants which need tools to analyze market power and bidding strategies, respectively, for a broad range of scenarios. Both objectives can be tackled if the possible equilibria of a poll-based multiperiod market are determined. This paper presents a three-step methodology to find these equilibria. First, a detailed model of an electricity market is presented, considering multiperiod bidding, price elasticity, and network modelling. Second, an iterative simulation process is run to detect participants' bidding strategies implicit in the optimized production resulting from the simulation. Finally, output data from the simulator are analyzed to obtain Nash equilibria. Iterated deletion is used in the last step to remove strategies that are dominated by others that generate higher profits. A realistic case study Illustrates the proposed. technique.

Abstract: A virtual power plant aggregates various local production/consumption units that act in the market as a single entity. This paper considers a virtual power plant consisting of an intermittent source, a storage facility, and a dispatchable power plant. The virtual power plant sells and purchases electricity in both the day-ahead and the balancing markets seeking to maximize its expected profit. Such model is mathematically rigorous, yet computationally efficient. The offering problem is cast as a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear programming model which maximizes the virtual power plant expected profit. The uncertain parameters, including the power output of the intermittent source and the market prices, are modeled via scenarios based upon historical data. The proposed model is applied to a realistic case study and conclusions are drawn. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: We describe a model to analyze the equilibrium encompassing an electricity futures market and a number of electricity spot markets sequentially arranged along the time horizon spanned by the futures market. Profit-maximizing strategic electricity producers react to both prices and rival production changes, in both the spot and the futures markets. At each time period, the total demand is considered to depend linearly on the spot price of the considered time period, and the futures market price is assumed to equal the average spot price over the time horizon. Equilibrium conditions at each spot market are described as a function of the futures market decision variables, which in turn allows describing the equilibrium in the futures market implicitly enforcing equilibrium in each spot market. The proposed model allows deriving analytical expressions that characterize such multi-market equilibrium and that can be recast as a mixed linear complementarity problem. This model is useful to gain insight on the outcomes and characteristics of the considered multi-market equilibrium. Such insight may allow the regulator to better design the futures and spot trading floors, their rules and sequential timing. It may also allow producers to increase the effectiveness of their respective offering strategies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

With a rapid increase in capacity, independently-invested energy storage systems (ESSs) might take up a significant share in the generation mix, and would be required to participate in the electricity market. Considering the arbitrage capability of ESSs, their behaviors would be remarkably different from those of conventional generators, impacting the market equilibrium. These impacts would vary with the type of ESSs and the generation mix. Therefore, this paper formulates a multi-period market equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints (EPEC) to study the strategic behaviors of different types of ESSs and their impacts on the market outcomes, assuming that ESSs behave as price-makers. The EPEC model is established within a general framework, which considers the individual profit-maximization behaviors of different ESSs and generators, including thermal units, hydro units and renewable units. Interactions between different generators and the market operator are also represented. Finally, numerical studies based on a modified IEEE 57-node system with different wind generation curves are performed for illustration and validation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Electricity market simulators have become a useful tool to train engineers in the power industry. With the maturing of electricity markets throughout the world, there is a need for sophisticated software tools that can replicate the actual behavior of power markets. In most of these markets, power producers/consumers submit production/demand bids and the Market Operator clears the market producing a single price per hour. What makes markets different from each other are the bidding rules and the clearing algorithms to balance the market. This paper presents a realistic simulator of the day-ahead electricity market of mainland Spain. All the rules that govern this market are modeled. This simulator can be used either to train employees by power companies or to teach electricity markets courses in universities. To illustrate the tool, several realistic case studies are presented and discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

With increasing penetration of renewable energy, multi-energy systems constitute an effective mechanism to optimize energy distribution and improve social welfare. However, a centralized operation of the multi-energy system might not be appropriate under the existing energy markets. Therefore, this paper proposes an equilibrium model for improving the operation of the electricity, gas and district heating subsystems of a district or urban area. The proposed model allows each energy subsystem to pursue its own objective (i.e., maximum social welfare), while considering the interconnection with other subsystems. More specifically, this model represents the behavior of each subsystem and reflects the interactions of the multi-energy system in a practical way. This equilibrium problem is formulated as a nonlinear complementarity problem. An illustrative case study is analyzed to show the relevance of the proposed approach. • A multi-energy market model is proposed for the joint operation of the electricity, gas and district heating systems. • An equilibrium problem is developed to simulate the gaming process of subsystem operators in the multi-energy market. • The proposed equilibrium model is also compared with a centralized optimization model. • Real-time market prices are solved to further explore the interactions among the different energy subsystems. • The effect of different wind power levels on the market behavior and energy exchange is discussed.
