A shift from zonal pricing to smaller zones and nodal pricing improves efficiency and security of system operation. Resulting price changes do however also shift profits and surplus between and across generation and load. As individual actorscan lose, they might oppose any reform. We explore how...

We examine the role that maximum demand charges (MDCs) can play in avoiding the death spiral that some utilities may otherwise face as the distributed generation (DG) of electricity proliferates. We find that MDCs generally secure gains for consumers that do not undertake DG, and often secure...

We analyze transition probabilities of regime-switching in electricity prices based on supply and demand by using the structural model of Kanamura and Ohashi (2004). We show that the transition probabilities depend on the demand level and thus are not constant. This result is in sharp contrast...

This paper presents implied volatility smiles and skews for plain vanilla electricity options based on a new bid stack model developed in a previous paper. This underlying bid stack model for the electricity market is extended to the case of an arbitrary number N of technology classes embedded...

This paper proposes an extended version of the analytical structural model for the electricity market developed in a previous paper. The presented electricity price process is driven by stochastic load and random plant availability as well as stochastic marginal generation cost factors embedded...

This paper presents an analytical structural model for the electricity price process driven by stochastic load as well as stochastic marginal generation costs in a multi-fuel stack framework covering the entire fuel switch dynamics. Moreover, the random character of available generation capacity...

In this paper, we present an analytical bid stack model for the electricity market which is extended to the case of an arbitrary number N of technology classes embedded in the production stack (esp. for N 2). As bid stack model, the proposed framework represents a structural model that...

Increasing penetration of residential photovoltaic (PV) systems has intensified concerns over the related impacts on utility revenue and the equity of deployment subsidies. Community solar (CS) has surfaced as an alternative deployment model for PV that could potentially mitigate these concerns,...
