Alternative electric market design - the nodal model
Climate Policy Initiative, c / o DIW Berlin, organized a workshop in Brussels on June 10, 2010 as a part of the EU funded project Reshaping, to support the implementation of the Renewables Directive.
It was approached the question to assess the performance of the current European power market design - congestion management and intra-day balancing markets - and,
- What improvement opportunities exist
- Which efficiency and security gains are possible by moving to a power market design that reflects the physical reality of the network
- How is transmission capacity currently allocated
- What evolution is expected in the next years.
There were discussed options for the implementation of nodal pricing providing an alternative approach to address technical constraints of power systems and transmission. It has been successfully implemented by several markets in the USA.
I've also brought a modest contribution to nodal transmission pricing since 1998 (click).
I was invited to make a presentation (click) on the evolving situation in South - East European region and on transmission access issue.
Nodal pricing is actually a natural complement to my proposed model of nodal transmission capability. I've pledged for clear separation of transmission technical aspects that are managed by the TSOs only, from the transmission commercial aspects that are of interest for all market players. Adequate treatment of transmission capability may be essential for market integration and reaching reliable power transmission system.
Un proiect alternativ de piata de energie electrica - modelul nodal
Climate Policy Initiative, reprezentata de catre institutul de cercetari economice DIW Berlin, a organizat la Bruxells, in data de 10 iunie 2010, un seminar in cadrul proiectului Reshaping, finant de catre UE, vizind sustinerea implementarii Directivei resurselor regenerabile.
S-a abordat problema performantei actualului proiect european de piata de energie electrica - managementul congestiilor si pietele de echilibrare intra - zilnice - si,
- Ce oportunitati de imbunatatire exista
- Ce cistiguri de eficienta si securitate sint posibile prin trecerea la un proiect de piata care sa reflecte realitatea fizica a retelei
- Cum este alocata acum capacitatea de transport
- La ce evolutii trebuie sa ne astepta in urmatorii ani.
Au fost discutate optiuni pentru implementarea preturilor nodale (PN) ca solutie alternativa de adresare a restrictiilor tehnice ale sistemului si retelei de transport de energie electrica. PN au fost introduse cu succes in mai multe piete din SUA.
Personal, am adus o modesta contributie la tarifarea serviciului de transport incepind cu anul 1998 (click).
Am fost invitat sa fac o prezentare (click) asupra dezvoltarilor similare din regiunea Sud - Est europeana si asupra problemei accesului la reteaua de transport. Pretul nodal este un pandant natural la modelul propus de mine de capacitate transport nodala. Am pledat pentru o separare clara a aspectelor tehnice ale transportului, aflate in sarcina operatorilor de transport si sistem, de aspectele comerciale, care sint de interes pentru toti participantii la piata. Tratarea adecvata a capacitatii de transport poate sa fie esntiala pentru integrarea pietei europene si realizarea unui sistem de transport sigur.
