There are various causes for wildfire ignition; however, power lines are one of the most significant factors, leading to some of the most devastating wildfire events over the past decade and even bankrupting electric utilities. Traditional insurance strategies are often not applicable for providing financial resilience to electric utilities against such catastrophic events. This paper quantifies the associated risk and proposes a catastrophe bond (CAT bond) as a form of parametric insurance to cover a portion of the risk. Vegetative fuel, weather, power grid, and historical wildfire ignition data are integrated into a proposed simulation-based methodology to accurately price the risk of the third-party wildfire liability, transmission line reconstruction, and the cost of load-shedding. The proposed methodology offers a useful tool for transmission system owners to transfer a portion of the risk of wildfire ignition to CAT bond investors. In addition, the premium calculation is analyzed through a sensitivity analysis to calibrate the indemnity-based CAT bond parameters.","PeriodicalId":100639,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Energy Markets, Policy and Regulation","volume":"3 1","pages":"133-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a conduct-and-impact methodology for the exploration and quantification of the impact that the enforcement of DEBs would have on the operation of the integrated European day-ahead electricity market as a whole. A quantitative large-scale simulation of the day-ahead market of eighteen European countries has been performed in order to evaluate the effect that the implementation of various DEB levels in the sell orders of thermal generating units would have on the market clearing prices and the associated revenues of market participants. Extensive scenario-based chronological simulations using a specialized and commercially available day-ahead market simulation software for a historical two-month period in 2021-2022 indicated that if thermal generating units were allowed to bid above their average variable cost only by up to 10–30%, day-ahead market clearing prices in most European countries would decrease, also leading to lower market revenues from −5.2% up to −9.9% for all market participants. The proposed methodology is directly applicable to unit-based day-ahead electricity markets in Europe. An extension to European portfolio-based day-ahead markets is also proposed.","PeriodicalId":100639,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Energy Markets, Policy and Regulation","volume":"3 1","pages":"83-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These policies enable the formation of legal entities that bring together power system members, enabling collective investment and operation of energy assets. However, designing appropriate reward schemes is crucial to fairly foster individuals to join, as well to ensure collaborative and stable aggregation, maximizing community benefits. Cooperative Game Theory, emphasizing coordination among members, has been extensively proposed for ECs and microgrids; however, it is still perceived as obscure and difficult to compute due to its exponential computational requirements. This study proposes a novel framework for stable fair benefit allocation, named Fair Least Core, that provides uniqueness, reproducibility, stability and fairness. A novel row-generation algorithm is also proposed that allows to efficiently compute the imputations for coalitions of practical size. A case study of ECs with up to 100 members shows the stability, reproducibility, fairness and efficiency properties of proposed model. The results also highlight how the market power of individual users changes as the community grows larger, which can steer the development of practical reliable, robust and fair reward allocations for energy system applications.","PeriodicalId":100639,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Energy Markets, Policy and Regulation","volume":"3 2","pages":"170-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10748402","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144281208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Brazil, where long-term forward markets drive investments, this trend is not different. For instance, long-term contracted renewable generation investors face the so-called price-and-quantity risk, which materializes whenever a generator falls short of producing the contracted amount and has to purchase this deficit at high spot prices. Notwithstanding, some renewable sources exhibit relevant hourly complementary generation profiles, e.g., wind and solar in the Northeastern Region of Brazil, suggesting a synergy that can be explored through exchange mechanisms to mitigate the price-and-quantity risk. Therefore, in this work, we investigate adecentralized approach based on hourly swaps, i.e., the exchange of forward contracts with different delivery hours. With these new hedging instruments, renewable agents can adjust their current flat forward positions and modulate them according to their generation profile and risk aversion level, thus minimizing the exposure to price-and-quantity risk through a pure financial market mechanism. We evaluate the benefits of the proposed mechanism through market equilibria using real data from the Brazilian power system. Results provide relevant evidence that the proposed hedging instrument should be beneficial to market agents and even foster higher long-term forward involvements with lower risk levels.","PeriodicalId":100639,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Energy Markets, Policy and Regulation","volume":"3 1","pages":"98-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the pricing and settlement impacts of alternative reserve constraint modeling, highlighting how even slight variations in the modeling of constraints can drastically alter market clearing prices, reserve quantities, and revenue outcomes. Focusing on the diverse market designs and assumptions in ancillary services by U.S. RTOs, particularly in relation to capacity sharing and reserve substitutions, the research examines four distinct models that combine these elements based on a large-scale synthetic power system test data. Our study provides a critical insight into the economic implications and the underlying factors of these alternative reserve constraints through market simulations and data analysis.","PeriodicalId":100639,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Energy Markets, Policy and Regulation","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the inter-provincial market pre-clearance results are used as the boundary conditions of intra-provincial transactions, and an optimal intra-provincial transaction clearing model is constructed taking into account the impact of inter-provincial markets.
