The importance of marginal cost electricity pricing to the success of greenhouse gas reduction programs
The efficient reduction of GHG emissions requires appropriate retail pricing of off-peak electricity. However, off-peak electricity for residential consumers is priced at 331% above its marginal cost in the United States as a whole (June 2009). Even for the 1% of residences that are on some form of time-ofuse (TOU) rate schedule, the off-peak rate is almost three times higher than the marginal ...
متن کاملMarginal cost pricing versus insurance
The regulator of a natural monopoly that sets a two-part tariff and whose marginal cost is stochastic will generally want the price to vary less than marginal cost when the lump-sum charge in the tariff is fixed. A trade-off exists between efficient pricing and an optimal allocation of risk. Pricing at marginal cost is only optimal when the consumers marginal utility is independent of the pric...
متن کاملMarginal cost congestion pricing based on the network fundamental diagram
Congestion pricing schemes have been traditionally derived based on analytical representations of travel demand and traffic flows, such as in bottleneck models. A major limitation of these models, especially when applied to urban networks, is the inconsistency with traffic dynamics and related phenomena such as hysteresis and the capacity drop. In this study we propose a new method to derive ti...
متن کاملForecasting of Utility Cost in a Deregulated Electricity Market by Using Locational Marginal Pricing
In the deregulated electricity market bidding contest is the major operation. Prices obtained from the result of bidding strategy is essential, since all market participants do not be familiar with the accurate assessment of future prices in their decision-making process. Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) obtains from the Optimal Power Flow problem gives the economic value of electrical energy ...
متن کاملTransmission Cost Allocation in Restructured Power Systems Based on Nodal Pricing Approach by Controlling the Marginal Prices
This paper presents a method to allocate the transmission network costs to users based on nodal pricing approach by regulating the nodal prices from the marginal point to the new point. Transmission nodal pricing based on marginal prices is not able to produce enough revenue to recover the total transmission network costs. However, according to the previous studies in this context, this met...
