My Questions

How does deregulation affect the distribution of pollutant emissions?

Can game theory help answer this question?

Page 3: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

Pollution – Cap and Trade

SO2 allowances are allocated or auctioned After-market exists for trading allowances ~9 million allowances per year An allowance permits emission of a fixed amount of

SO2

Local power plants Possum Point 0.001 lbs SO2/mmBtu 550+ MW Mt Storm 0.10 lbs SO2/mmBtu 1600 MW Bremo Bluff 1.45 lbs SO2/mmBtu 250 MW

Fear – hot spots

Power Grid Situation

Problems under environment of deregulation Energy (Generation) pricing Congestion management and pricing Others

Capacity expansion Reserve capacity Environmental/other constraints

Generation

Old Paradigm – minimize costs subject to “Keep the Lights On” constraint. A regulated monopolies environment.

New Paradigm – Competition leads to efficiency. Maximize benefits for all. Game theory has been used to:

Justify the switch Establish bidding procedures for participants

Page 9: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

Generation I Ferrero, Rivera, and Shahidehpour, 1998 Objective: maximize each participant’s benefit Assumptions (PoolCo model)

Coordinator schedules (dispatches) generation beginning with lowest bid price until demand is met

Generators receive the “spot price”, the max bid of all dispatched generators

Assumption: spot price equal throughout the grid “sealed bids” – submit bids at same time Knows own cost but not others’ costs Knows others’ bid history, but not their benefit Gen costs are 2nd order fn of power output

Page 10: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

Generation I, cont.

Aspects of the Game Formulated as non-cooperative, two-player Correlated costs allowed (used in the example) Strategy is to bid with respect to initial marginal cost (as if

not in the market) Probability distribution of the game derived from available

information, they use fuel prices in the example. Demonstrate analytical solution for Nash equilibria so

presumably participant could use game theory to establish bidding positions

Page 11: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

Generation II Park, Kim, Kim, Jung, and Park 2001 Assumptions (PoolCo model)

Total generation bids demand Individual generation bid < demand Demand is constant Transmission losses and congestion ignored Complete information available to all (apparently holds in

some countries) Again the 2nd order cost function Generation allocation

< last-dispatched unit, all generation offered = last-dispatched unit, split with others with equal bids

Page 12: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

Generation II, cont.

Aspects of the Game Formulated as non-cooperative, two-player Strategy = (bid price, bid generation) in

continuous space Suggest a hybrid approach combining analytical

and graphical methods Inelastic demand Bidding price cap

A question

I have tended to think of the allowances as being a constraint on production. Generator’s goal is to maximize production or profit subject to the emission allowance constraint.

Companies tend to re-distribute their allowances in-house rather than through the market.

How does the existence of such global constraints affect the assumptions inherent in a non-cooperative game?

Page 14: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

How does PJM do it?

As complicated as the game theory models may be, the actual market is more complicated

Market Timelines

Day-ahead Until noon – PJM receives bids and offers for energy for

next day Noon until 4 p.m. Market is closed. PJM computes next-

day LMPs. 4 p.m. PJM posts initial day-ahead LMPs. 4-6 p.m. Market re-opens for re-bidding. 6 p.m. – Day-ahead LMPs locked in. Remainder of day – PJM continually updates the dispatch

list Real-time ?

5-minute intervals?

What is congestion?

When the economic dispatch solution cannot be implemented due to transmission line constraints.

Congestion

Silva, Wollenberg, and Zheng, 2001 Assumptions

Constant marginal cost for generation Constant demand An “economic dispatch” solution exists Competitors will not provide cost information, but

can estimate others’ costs Marginal cost domains are bounded The pdf is otherwise continuous

Page 25: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

Congestion, cont.

Mechanism Design A mechanism is a game. Proposed game is that:

Generators submit bids to agent Agent allocates production and reward Goal is to get generators to provide true cost bids Claim is that the proposed payment scheme achieves

this

Page 26: Deregulated Power, Pollution, and Game Theory Frank Deviney 11/16/05.

What does PJM do?

LMPs Implicit congestion – payments/receipts based on

bus LMP explicit congestion – transactions pay differential

between source and sink LMPs FTRs – Financial Transmission Rights

Monthly, annual auctions Serve as a hedge against day-ahead uncertainty

as to when and where congestion will occur.
