One objective of retail electricity markets is to enable end-use consumers to incorporate their reliability preferences into their purchasing decisions. This paper investigates if and how this can be done in electricity markets with a capacity requirement. It integrates the standard loss of load...

We use a national Saudi power system dispatch optimization model to assess the implications of load shifting from the industrial sector. This model quantifies the fuel offtake, emission, and cost implications of shifting industrial loads from peak summer to off-peak winter months with industrial...

Electricity system operations are often affected by energy policies, but spatial differences in policy impacts are difficult to model. We develop a method for estimating zonal supply curves in transmission-constrained electricity markets that can be implemented quickly by policy analysts with...
