| 01-02 | Capacity Payments and Supply Adequacy in Competitive Electricity Markets
Presentation by Prof. Oren on alternative approaches that have been adopted around the world for guaranteeing the appropriate level of investment in electric generation capacity. We argue that the use of "capacity payments" is the least desirable approach that undermines the long-term efficiency objectives of the electric industry restructuring.

| 01-06 | A Comparison of the Results of Three Auction Experiments
Experiments were run at Cornell
University to test three different
auctions: A uniform price (last
accepted offer) auction, a
discriminatory (pay-as-you-bid) auction
and a hybrid uniform
price/discriminatory auction that has
been proposed by FERC as a possible
interim fix to the California market.
The purpose of these experiments was to
try and duplicate actual behavior
observed in operating markets and then
design mechanisms to explain the
behavior and mitigate it when
appropriate. The results of these
experiments will be presented hearings
in San
Francisco on Tuesday, December 12,
before a Blue Ribbon panel chaired by
Alfred Kahn.

| 02-13a | The FERC Standard Market Design GIGANOPR: Research Needs
The Standard Market Design (SMD) Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NOPR) issued by
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in July 2002 is a bold attempt to
map out the future structure, organization and functioning of electricity markets in the
U.S. The FERC proposal is aimed at establishing a “standardized transmission service
and wholesale electric market design” for all the market participants. In effect, the SMD
is a set of rules for the wholesale electric market operations and for the structure for
planning and resource adequacy. The major thrusts in the NOPR are
· standardized transmission service
· organizational structure for transmission provision
· market operations and monitoring
· congestion management
· transmission planning
· resource adequacy
The NOPR’s vision of the future electricity markets sets up a large number of challenges
in the areas of research, development and policy analysis. The key issues in the areas of
information availability and usage, market design, system reliability, incentives for
transmission expansion, demand response implementation, validation of market design
proposals and market monitoring will be outlined. Particular emphasis will be placed on
the role that the academic power community can play. The presentation will focus on
some fruitful areas for future research.

| 02-13b | Voltage Constraints and Power Nomograms
This work establishes that nodal prices depend on what constraints and limits are assumed for the operating point, and that the common practice of using nomograms where a flow limits is used in lieu of a voltage limit can result in prices that greatly depart from the correct nodal prices. Starting generators in order to meet reactive and voltage constraints can result in a significant “uplift” cost. If we replace voltage limits with flow limits, we get the same solution but the prices (i.e., the incentives) are different. Thus, the use of nomograms and other forms of surrogate limits yields the right solution but for the wrong reason and can lead to incorrect incentives.

| 02-13c | Creating Incentives for New Technologies in the Transmission System of the Future
This presentation describes the fact that optimal system expansion decisions must be based on estimates of surplus improvement. Thus, efficient expansion requires removing incentive to congest. Expansion incentives must exceed fixed costs for them to happen, but also any incentives to help expansion system must be smaller than the surplus gain, otherwise the entire surplus is absorbed by the entity expanding the system. In order to design appropriate expansion incentives, new views of “useful life” may be needed. The talks also illustrate how transmission expansion affects spot prices and the impact on investor decisions. Investors need to consider locational issues when deciding where to invest. Finally, this presentation also describes the impact of expansion on the protection system and the fact that expansion can increase short circuit duties. Expansion also alters the dynamic interactions between markets and the physical systems.
