Because of electricity subsidies, electricity price in Iran is much lower than its real value, and the growth of electricity demand is much more than its rational rate, which in turn implies ever increasing investment in the electricity section by the Government. Therefore, the recent Government policies are based on elimination of electricity subsidies, followed by commissioning complete elect...

Testing the performance of electricity markets using POWERWEB has already shown that relatively inexperienced players can identify and exploit market power in load pockets. When transmission constraints are not binding, however, auctions with six players have been shown to be efficient. There is evidence from operating electricity markets that prices can be driven above competitive levels when ...

In an electricity market, controllable loads allow users to react to price signals. If the share of renewable electricity generation increases, the electricity price may not correlate with available network capacity. In such a scenario, the electricity price must be supplemented with a signal that indicates the availability of network capacity. This is especially problematic on a distribution g...

In most real options models for evaluating power plants, it is assumed that the price fluctuates stochastically such as a geometric Brownian motion. In actual electricity market, the prices are determined by supply and demand, and the supply and demand balance may cause the price spike. Especially, the supply characteristics, which depend on the type and number of power plants in electricity ma...

abstract: the main goal of this paper is to modeling of producers’ strategic suggestions for each electricity manufacturer in an oligopolistic structure. according to the proposed structure of the electricity market modeling; this paper uses a dynamic model based on cournot equilibrium. due to the large volume of required information, the implementation of the model is limited to a regional ele...

With greater penetration of renewable generation, the uncertainty faced in electricity markets has increased substantially. Conventionally, generators are assigned a pre-dispatch quantity in advance of real time, based on estimates of uncertain quantities. Expensive real time adjustments then need to be made to ensure demand is met, as uncertainty takes on a realization. We propose a new stocha...

accurate and effective electricity price forecasting is critical to market participants in order to make an appropriate risk management in competitive electricity markets. market participants rely on price forecasts to decide on their bidding strategies, allocate assets and plan facility investments. however, due to its time variant behavior and non-linear and non-stationary nature, electricity...
