Efficiency in Deregulated Electricity Markets: Offer Cost Minimization vs. Payment Cost Minimization Auction
A payment cost minimization (PCM) auction has been proposed to solve the problem of inflated wholesale electricity prices. In the electricity industry, where even small changes in $/MW are worth tens of millions of dollars, it is highly important that policy makers have a good understanding of the tradeoffs and impacts of new institutional rules. In this paper we examine efficiency performance ...
متن کاملAllocative Efficiency Considerations in Online Auction Markets
Allocative inefficiencies in online auction markets can result in the loss of revenues for sellers. It can also cause frustration for buyers who fail to win an item despite placing bids higher than other winners. The main contention of this work is that allocative inefficiencies present arbitrage opportunities, though not strictly in the traditional financial market sense, where risk-free profi...
متن کاملNear-Optimal Truthful Auction Mechanisms in Secondary Spectrum Markets
In this work, we study spectrum auction problem where each request from secondary users has spatial, temporal, and spectral features. With the requests of secondary users and the reserve price of the primary user, our goal is to design truthful mechanisms that will either maximize the social efficiency or maximize the revenue of the primary user. As the optimal conflictfree spectrum allocation ...
متن کاملOptimal capacity allocation in multi-auction electricity markets under uncertainty
The advent of competitive markets confronts each producer with the problem of optimally allocating his energy/capacity so as to maximize his pro$ts. The multiplicity of auctions in electricity markets and the nontrivial constraints imposed by technical and bidding rules make the problem of crucial importance and di/cult to model and solve. Further di/culties are represented by the dynamic and s...
متن کاملRandom Search Techniques for Optimal Bidding in Auction Markets
Evolutionary algorithms based on stochastic programming are proposed for learning of the optimum bid in auction markets. Sellers and buyers are attempting to learn their optimum bids that maximize their individual utility functions in the next round of the game. Examples of a second-price sealed-bid auction, and double auction markets, with random and merit-based matching processes are consider...
