The case study supports the discussion around the Pareto optimality in rate design and comparison with actual retail rates. To deliver the two contributions, we structure our study as follows. In section 2, we describe the fundamental concepts of ratemaking. This includes the activities in rate ...
Coal-fired electricity generation in U.S. amounted to 675 terawatt hours in 2023, nearly 19 percent less in comparison to the previous year. A decade earlier, almost two thousand terawatt hours of electricity was generated from coal combustion in the country. In 2023, coal accounted for nearly...
Alberta and Saskatchewan who are rapidly phasing out coal as a power source, are reluctant to shut the door on natural gas without ensuring the reliability of other sources. The CER’s rollout in its current form and timeline could set up a federal-provincial fight. Ontario, the country’s ...
The deviation from the Random Walk process of the Alberta and Ontario electricity markets, is shown in the work of Uritskaya and Uritsky [35]. Using scale-depend DFA, spectral analysis and probability distribution analysis, they show that the markets exhibit strongly anti-persistent or mean ...
Upon a comparison of the simulated scenarios with and without interconnection, the result of the econometric estimation shows that expected prices with interconnection would be lower, due to: (a) a decrease in spot price, compared to predominating SIC prices without interconnection; (b) a lower ...
This newly merged taxonomy allows the analysis of bottom-up energy models in a quantitative form and the comparison of energy models based on relevant features. 1.3. Energy Efficiency Policies and Policy Design A second taxonomy is necessary to analyze bottom-up energy models according to the polic...
The proposed mathematical methodology based on Bender’s decomposition algorithm, due to the problem’s computational complexity, was applied to Alberta energy-only market, considering real-life data, a hydro-pump storage facility as the strategic agent and an imperfect competition market setup. ...
