It is real-time interaction in the electrical characteristics between purchasing side and selling side of power grid, those two balanced at any time scales. So power optimization is a problem that is essentially overall optimization of transaction of purchasing and selling electricity. Trading patterns will change with fluctuations of demand-side response introduced in power market, mainly in trade...
Summary form only given: When the ERCOT market first opened in July 2001, ERCOT implemented a sequential procurement process for ancillary services which procures four ancillary services (regulation up, regulation down, responsive reserve, and non-spinning reserve). In September 2005, ERCOT modified the procuring process to simultaneously procure all the ancillary services in the day-ahead, with the...
Three methods have been proposed to improve energy deployment efficiency in deregulated power markets. The advantages of adopting shadow price caps include: predefined deployment stop point, predefined adjustable penalty costs, rational and usable prices, and effective deployment. Virtual offer is a practical way to set energy price caps. Virtual offers stop the system from deploying offers that are...
An overview of ERCOT's background and the ERCOT RUC process is presented. The three steps of clearing the ERCOT RPRS Market are described. Settlements of the RPRS market are briefly described. Finally, several typical challenges with RUC in ERCOT are briefly discussed
Deregulation of power industry gives rise to a marketplace with competition as well as uncertainty. Understanding market price volatility and its driving factors is a key for market players to be successful in managing risks and making operational decisions in any electricity market. With this purpose, this paper examines 3.5-year historical real-time energy prices (market clearing price) in ERCOT...
Locational marginal pricing (LMP) system is complex but critical to ensure a power market's smooth and health operation. This paper addresses both the current and the future LMP system in the ERCOT market. It starts with introducing the operating process of the current zonal LMP, then examines several major challenges and issues associated with the current LMP operations, and in the end gives an introduction...
The process of restructuring wholesale electric power markets in the United States has so far been very successful overall and is now entering a new phase of either fine-tuning or fundamental re-reforms of the markets. The restructured ERCOT electric power market has attracted special attention due to its particular characteristics such as its adoption of zonal portfolio model and its choice of a...
This paper introduces the ERCOT Balancing Energy Market, which consists of a Zonal Congestion Management Market and a Local Congestion Management Market. The ERCOT Energy Market is not a fully competitive market and appropriate measures are needed to prevent monopoly prices. A decomposition method is proposed to implement the "market solution" measure in the ERCOT Local Congestion Market...
