چکیده

Market clearing in restructured power systems is mostly implemented through an offer-based setting with the goal of maximizing social welfare. This approach leads to sound results from an economic viewpoint when generation offers reflect true production costs. However, offers may significantly differ from actual costs in practice, thus yielding undesired distortion. Under a marginal pricing scheme, this paper presents a general bilevel programming formulation for alternative market-clearing procedures dependent on market-clearing prices rather than on offers. The resulting nonlinear mixed-integer bilevel programming formulation is transformed into an equivalent single-level mixed-integer linear program suitable for efficient off-the-shell software. The bilevel formulation is investigated through a particular instance of price-based market clearing driven by consumer payment minimization. This problem has recently received considerable attention due to the open challenges posed from both modeling and computational perspectives. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.

The role of market pricing mechanism under imperfect competition

This paper illustrates how a supplier profit may be affected by the market pricing mechanism under imperfect competition. A parameterized Supply Function Equilibrium (SFE) model involving manipulation of the sole intercept is used to represent the strategic behavior of each supplier. Through utilizing a bilevel optimization technique and a Mathematical Program with Equilibrium Constraints (MPEC...

Pay-as-bid versus marginal pricing: The role of suppliers strategic behavior

This paper illustrates how a generator profit may be affected by the pricing method of an oligopoly market model. Through utilizing a bilevel optimization technique and game theory concepts, Supply Function Equilibria (SFE) of pay-as-bid pricing (PABP) and marginal pricing (MP) mechanisms are derived. Theoretically, it is demonstrated that in the presence of strategic interaction, the generator...

Nodal market power detection under locational marginal pricing

This paper proposes an index for nodal market power detection in power market under locational marginal pricing (LMP). This index is an ex-ante technique to detect the market power. More precisely, this criterion detects the potential of exercising market power regardless of detecting the actual market power. Also it is obvious that pricing and market clearing method affect the potential of exe...

A Multi-objective Transmission Expansion Planning Strategy: A Bilevel Programming Method

This paper describes a methodology for transmission expansion planning (TEP) within a deregulated electricity market. Two objective functions including investment cost (IC) and congestion cost (CC) are considered. The proposed model forms a bi-level optimization problem in which upper level problem represents an independent system operator (ISO) making its decisions on investment while in the l...
