Pricing in Centrally Committed Electricity Markets
نویسنده
چکیده
A long-standing issue with centrally committed electricity markets is the design of non-confiscatory and equilibrium-supporting prices. This is because the social planner’s problem in such a market is a non-convex unit commitment. O’Neill et al. (2005) propose a pricing scheme that overcomes these issues for any market that can be formulated as a mixed-integer linear program. Moreover, claims appear in the literature implying that such a payment mechanism is currently in use in a number of organized electricity markets. Using an illustrative example, we demonstrate that this is not the case. We further demonstrate that the pricing scheme proposed by O’Neill et al. (2005) has some important implications for long-run capacity investment.

Towards Equilibrium Offers in Unit Commitment Auctions with Nonconvex Costs
We compare two types of uniform-price auction formats commonly used in wholesale electricity markets—centrally committed and self-committed markets. Auctions in both markets are conducted by an independent system operator that collects generator bids and determines which generators will operate and how much electricity each will produce. In centrally committed markets, generators submit twopart...

In this paper, impacts of day-ahead market pricing on behavior of producers and consumers in option and day-ahead markets and on option pricing are studied. To this end, two comprehensive equilibrium models for joint put option and day-ahead markets under pay-as-bid and uniform pricing in day-ahead market are presented, respectively. Interaction between put option and day-ahead markets, uncerta...
متن کاملA New Approach for Accurate Pricing of Reactive Power and Its Application to Cost Allocation in Deregulated Electricity Markets
Reactive power management plays an essential role in the secure operation of the power system as an ancillary service. Although in electricity markets, the particular attention is paid to active power, the reactive power also plays an important on total generation costs of electricity. On the other hand, as it is mainly confined to local consumption, to avoid market power and maintain the se...
متن کاملThe Cost of Anarchy in Self-Commitment Based Electricity Markets
With the advent of restructured electricity markets a contentious market design issue has been whether unit commitment decisions should be made centrally by the system operator or by individual generators. Although a centrally committed market can, in theory, determine the most efficient commitment, they have been shown to suffer some equity and incentive problems. A self-committed market can o...
متن کاملImpacts of Premium Bounds on the Operation of Put Option and Day-ahead Electricity Markets
In this paper, the impacts of premium bounds of put option contracts on the operation of put option and day-ahead electricity markets are studied. To this end, first a comprehensive equilibrium model for a joint put option and day-ahead markets is presented. Interaction between put option and day-ahead markets, uncertainty in fuel price, impact of premium bounds, and elasticity of con...
