Terminology

Energy market terminology - let's make sure we are using correct terminology.

Markets

Anderson, Electricity restructuring: a review of efforts around the world and the consumer response, Electricity Journal, April 2009. A review of market restructuring efforts and impacts in Europe, North America, and Australia, talks about practical problems, successes, and failures. The author is executive director of a trade group of large industrial power consumers in the U.S.

J. H. Chow, W. De. Mello, and K. W. Cheung, “Electricity Market Design: An Integrated Approach to Reliability Assurance,” Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 93, No. 11, pp. 1956-1960, November 2005. (last accessed on the Web October 22, 2010 at [http://class.ece.iastate.edu/ee458/Chow.pdf )

Fleten and Pettersen, Constructing Bidding Curves for a Price-Taking Retailer in the Norwegian Electricity Market, IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 20[2], MAY 2005. Explains the bidding process for retailers in the Norwegian wholesale market, and gives a procedure for constructing optimal bids. Bids are piecewise-linear demand functions.

Jaap Gordijn and Hans Akkermans, Business Models for Distributed Generation In a Liberalized Market Environment, Electric Power Systems Research 77(9), 2007. Abstract: The analysis of the potential of emerging innovative technologies calls for a systems-theoretic approach that takes into account technical as well as socio-economic factors. This paper reports the main findings of several business case studies of different future applications in various countries of distributed power generation technologies, all based on a common methodology for networked business modeling and analysis.

Holmberg and Newbery, The Supply Function Equilibrium and Its Policy Implications for Wholesale Electricity Auctions. Talks about strategic bidding in oligopolistic wholesale electricity auctions.

Joskow and Tirole, Retail electricity competition, The Rand Journal of Economics 37[4], 2006. Analyzes pricing, competition, and market efficiency in environments with multiple retail energy brokers under a number of relevant assumptions.

Joskow and Tirole, Reliability and competitive electricity markets, The Rand Journal of Economics 28[1], 2007. Examines the relationship between the need to achieve balance and various market distortions, such as market power and the practical impossibility of rationing most price-insensitive customers.

Joskow, Lessons learned from electricity market liberalization, The Energy Journal 29[2], 2008. Lots of interesting insights about the various ways that markets for electric power have developed, including a set of "textbook" policies that seem to be part of the good solutions. Also lots of detail on what has happened in many areas of the world. Retail markets have not worked well everywhere.

Kempton and Tomic, Vehicle-to-grid power implementation: From stabilizing the grid to supporting large-scale renewable energy, The Energy Journal 29[2], 2008. Using electric vehicles to stabilize the grid and allow for higher usage of variable sources (wind, solar).

Meeus, Power Exchange Auction Trading Platform Design, Ph.D. Dissertation, Catholic University of Leuven, 2006. Describes the European wholesale energy markets.

Olsen, Johnsen, and Lewis A Mixed Nordic Experience: Implementing Competitive Retail Electricity Markets for Household Customers, Electricity Journal, November 2006. Nice piece on retail power markets in the Nordic countries, where this approach has probably been running longest.

Shahidehpour, Yamin, and Li, Market Operations in Electric Power Systems: Forecasting, Scheduling, and Risk Management, IEEE Press / Wiley, 2002. This is a 540-page book that describes the operations of wholesale markets in considerable detail.

Steven Stoft, Power System Economics, IEEE Press / Wiley, 2002. Another book from the same era as the Shahidehpour book above.

Strachan and Dowlatabadi, Distributed generation and distribution utilities, Energy Policy 30[8], 2002. Discussion of the handling of retail-level power generation in a market environment.

NYISO Two Settlement Marketplace
(Includes:A description of the NYISO Marketplace Two Settlement System. Calculations associated with the Day Ahead and Real Time Market settlements; generator offer submittal to sell energy; load serving entity submittal to bid for procuring energy and the timeline for submitting energy offers and purchase bids.)

New Zealand Electricity Trading Market: (The electricity trading platform design for the TAC currently does not support a Day-Ahead-Market. At a recent meetup of the Electricity TAC group, cs.umn,edu subgroup, one of the issues that surfaced concerned the Day-Ahead-Market (DAM). More specifically, the discussion revolved around whether or not it was necessary to include a model of the DAM to more closely conform to the most commonly encountered electricity market architectures in the world (US, NYISO for example). Interestingly, some market architectures do not have a DAM. New Zealand's NZEM exemplifies one such market. The above-referenced publication describes the New Zealand Electricity Trading Market. A follow up paper ( found here next paper ) analyzes some of the market effects resulting from the absence of a DAM market in the New Zealand electricity trading marketplace. These two papers, singly or in combination may be of interest in deciphering likely market dynamics in a DAM + Real TIme Market (RTM) model versus a purely RTM model akin to the current implementation of the Electricity TAC platform..)
