Energy Markets and Effect of
Renewable Energy Integration
Vertically Integrated Utility • One utility handles generation, transmission and distribution in one geographical area • Quality power (constant voltage and frequency) has to be provided. • Prices were regulated. • Monopoly franchise • Regulatory oversight Advantage of Vertical Integration • Risk free investment in energy infrastructure • Avoidance of exploitation of customers due to monopoly • Usually government owned or supported Reasons for deregulation • Technological: --Increasing efficiency of smaller units --Computerized controls --Offsite monitoring of several units • Economic: --Infrastructure is built and paid of --Market based system lead to reduction of cost --Competition increases focus on customers Deregulated market • Unbundling of activities • Generators were financially separated from transmission • Transmission still usually is a monopoly • Competition is introduced in the generators • Deregulation started in early 1990s Energy Market • Power Purchase Agreements • Day Ahead and Real Time market • Day ahead market related to unit commitment and economic dispatch • Day ahead market prices are fixed in hourly basis. • Real time market takes care of imbalances in day ahead schedule and real time demand. • Prices are fixed few hours ahead • Power exchange India Limited Ancillary services market • Maintaining reliability • Forward Reserve Market : e.g. In US New England ISO there are 30 minute and 10 minute non-spinning reserves. • Real Time reserves: Operating reserves are needed when there is a sudden loss of a large generator or a major transmission line during all periods Renewable Energy Integration • Wind and Solar resources are intermittent in nature. • Requires technological and market changes to accommodate these in grids. Merit order Dispatchable loads • Nuclear • Hydro • Coal • Natural Gas (CCGT) • Open cycle gas turbine • Petroleum Wind Solar being non-dispatchable pose new challenges. California Duck Curve South Australia Duck Curve Solar Thermal, Geothermal and Biomass • Geothermal and biomass are dispatchable renewable sources • Solar Thermal with thermal storage (cheaper than batteries) can also be dispatchable. • Crescent dunes power plant with thermal storge Battery • Battery prices are going down • For ancillary services batteries can be quite competitive as prices are high • Response time is small. • South Australia Tesla 100MW/120MWh battery • California Tesla 20MW batteries • May compete with peakers Maintaining reliability with renewable • Capacity Markets • T-4 years reverse auction of capacity services • T-1 reverse auction for capacity services • Demand Response and batteries can be part of capacity markets • PJM RTO and UK Curtailment of Renewable Energy • Can occur due to transmission congestion • Or due to excess production at low load periods • Negative prices reasons: --Conventional power plants are inflexible --In case of PPAs thay may be already paid for --May hae to run for reliability reasons --Renewables may run for production subsidies Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) • An EIM would pool in electricity generation within a region and dispatch resources. • This could moderate the variability of renewable generation resources and electricity demand on least cost basis. • Western Interconnection in US and Canada
