Abstract

Basic approximations of the transmission system are ubiquitous in the literature on modeling competition in electricity markets. Because the main concern of market power is with active power, reactive power and voltage-related issues are commonly neglected, even though they are inherent features of an electrical power system. However, the usefulness of stylized formulations that do not comprise these system elements may be severely limited. (author)

Market power in electricity markets: Beyond concentration measures

Journal Article Borenstein, S. ; Bushnell, J. ; Knittel, C.R. - Energy Journal

The wave of electricity market restructuring both within the US and abroad has brought the issue of horizontal market power to the forefront of energy policy. Traditionally, estimation and prediction of market power has relied heavily on concentration measures. In this paper, the authors discuss the weaknesses of concentration measures as a viable measure of market power in the electricity industry, and they propose an alternative method based on market simulations that take advantage of existing plant level data. The authors discuss results from previous studies they have performed, and present new results that allow for the detection of thresholdmore »« less

Competitive Electricity Markets and System Reliability: The Case for New England's Proposed Locational Capacity Market

Journal Article Farr, John G. ; Felder, Frank A. - Electricity Journal

Clear evidence exists that the existing wholesale markets in New England are failing to provide sufficient incentives to invest. The ISO-NE LICAP proposal is designed to ensure that New England markets attract sufficient generation resources to protect reliability while being mindful of the added cost burden that it will produce.

The role of vibrant retail electricity markets in assuring that wholesale power markets operate effectively

Journal Article Goulding, A.J. ; Rufin, C. ; Swinand, G. - Electricity Journal

Barriers to competitive supplier entry such as California's wholesale-price pass-through model can provide an almost insurmountable barrier to effective retail competition. The telecommunications, airline, and software industries provide lessons--positive and negative--on how creating competitive wholesale markets is insufficient to bring the benefits of competition to smaller consumers.

Wind power forecasting in U.S. Electricity markets

Journal Article Botterud, Audun ; Wang, Jianhui ; Miranda, Vladimiro ; ... - Electricity Journal

Wind power forecasting is becoming an important tool in electricity markets, but the use of these forecasts in market operations and among market participants is still at an early stage. The authors discuss the current use of wind power forecasting in U.S. ISO/RTO markets, and offer recommendations for how to make efficient use of the information in state-of-the-art forecasts.

Geographic market delineation in LMP electric power markets

Journal Article Morris, John R. ; Accordino, Megan H. - Electricity Journal

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has jurisdiction over sales of electric generation assets in the United States, and it has found that generation on the high-priced side of transmission constraints provides competition for generators on the low-priced side. This article shows that this reasoning is correct in locational marginal price (LMP) electric power markets now prevalent in the U.S. (author)
