Electrical
distribution companies transport and distribute electric power from connection
points of the transmission system to end consumers for industrial and
residential use. This activity is organized in public service utilities
(Discos) that buy power supply from generators in both the long term and spot
markets. The challenge has been to stimulate an efficient service in
distribution, similar to what would be achieved in a competitive environment.
The panel evaluated the results of Price Cap regulation in

Chair: I. Kockar,
Successful
implementation of deregulation requires not only adequate design of markets for
energy, but also establishment of suitable markets for efficient trading of
ancillary services. A design of ancillary services markets depends, and is
closely related to the design and type of energy markets. This panel presented
experiences with such markets that operate in different countries. This included
an overview and comparison between some

The goal of this
panel was to present ongoing research on the consequences and modelling of
carbon costs in the operation, planning and investment process in the
electricity markets. The role of new market and regulatory possibilities, such
as carbon trading (with the European Emissions Trading Scheme as an outstanding
example) or clean development mechanisms, was considered.

International Comparison of
Market Design and Market Power Mitigation
Sponsored by: Power System Analysis, Computing, and
Economics Committee
Chair: I. Kockar,
Although the
deregulation of the electricity industry began more than 15 years ago, a number
of issues remain to be resolved. This panel looked into solutions regarding
market designs and tackling of the market power problem, which are applied in
various markets around the world. Although the aim of all markets is to
introduce market forces into power system operation, their market designs and
solutions to various problems reflect historical circumstances and structures
of the inherited power systems. We started our journey by first looking into
experiences and new approaches to the market power problem applied in PJM,

Managing Large Scale Market
Network Models
Sponsored by: Power System Analysis, Computing, and
Economics Committee
Chair: E.
In today's
de-regulated environment the RTOs and ISOs are dealing with very large network
models. These models cover very large geographical areas and include many
different utilities. Network model of a RTO/ISO increases in size and
complexity as new utilities join the ISOs and RTOs. The modelers of a RTO/ISO
have the responsibility of incorporating the changes in the model correctly and
in a timely manner to keep the operational model up to date. To handle such
large network models for RTO/ISO, we need efficient model maintenance and
validation tools, defined processes and test plans. In this panel session the
speakers shared their experiences in large scale network model maintenance,
model exchange with RTO/ISO and model maintenance tools. They also shared their
experiences on the effects of modeling accuracy in LMP calculation using state
estimator solution.

Chair: J. Bialek,
High levels of
penetration of Distributed Generation will blur the distinction between
transmission and distribution networks. This panel session was devoted to
distribution access pricing and regulation and the issues discussed included:
How
should distribution access pricing encourage efficient use of the network and
generation while providing an incentive for optimal network and generation
investment?
What are the barriers to access?
How should distribution networks be
regulated?
Interactions between distribution access
pricing, planning, design and investment.
Survey of distribution access pricing regimes
in different countries.

The Benefits of
Transmission Expansions: Technical, Economic and Institutional Aspects
Sponsored by: Power System Planning and Implementation
Committee
Chair: P. Bresesti, CESI Ricerca
The benefits of
transmission expansions range from traditional technical/economic aspects like
reliability improvement, promotion of competitive electricity markets, support
for development of new generation, to more strategic factors like promotion of
economic growth, support for exploitation of renewable resources, and
endorsement of energy independence and security.
Nevertheless the
investments in new transmission facilities are not keeping pace with this
technical, economic and strategic value of the transmission infrastructure.
Indeed in most of industrialized countries the rate of growth of the
transmission capacity is far below the rate of growth of the electricity
demand.
The demonstration
and the measure of the real transmission benefits, that clearly go far beyond
the traditional reliability improvement, is one of the key elements to overcome
the present slowdown in transmission investments. For this purpose a new and
comprehensive benefit analysis framework is needed. Ideally the framework would
be expected to assess the direct technical/economic benefits as well as to
emphasize the indirect strategic value of transmission expansions, so to meet
different purposes: a) to define the priority of projects and to gain approval
at the corporate level, b) to gain regulatory approval and institutional
support and c) finally to gain the public consensus. Indeed, the demonstration
and measure of benefits are important issues for all these steps of the
transmission planning and implementation process.
The panel was
intended to present methods and models to assess the technical, economic and
strategic benefits of transmission expansions.
