In Korean Power Market, Cost-based Bidding Pool is maintaining the present condition because restructuring of electricity industry is holding. When this market is designed, Settlement rules for Pumped-storage power plant made unfairly by other power plants. These rules were considered contribution of Pumped-storage power plant to network operation. by the way, there are some discussion about Settlement rules modification. so in this paper, we calculated financial effect of power plant by modified rules. And when we modify market rules, we can offer numerical information.

In this paper, we try to analyze the likelihood of exercising the power of market dominance by certain generators in future power industry of Korea. Firstly, we estimated installed generation capacity and sales volume of electricity in Korea, based on 'The 3rd Long Term Power Plan' which was announced in December 2006. Secondly, we calculated HHI, an index showing the degree of concentration of an industry, and RSI, an index showing how adequate the supply of goods or services of an industry is, using Fast-Forward. Thirdly, assuming a major generator employs the strategy of withholding a part of its available capacity at a peak time, we simulated hypothetical movement of SMP over a certain period of time, which is compared with that obtained without assuming such strategy to generate Lerner Index. an index showing the degree of market power of a monopoly. Regulators, home and abroad, have not given much interest in analyzing the effect of market dominance that is likely to be exercised by certain players in the future. That said, this paper provides insight into developing methodologies of analyzing and mitigating such effect by proposing the above indices to gauge it. In addition, this paper also shows the potential impact of employing capacity withholding strategy on the financial account of a dominant generator.

현재 원가반영발전경쟁시장(CBP : Cost Based Pool)에서는 발전사업자의 변동비용에 기초하여 공급곡선을 형성하게 된다. 그래서 공급 곡선에 있어서 는 비교적 불확실성이 덜하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 양방향입찰시장에서의 가격결정은 발전사업자와 전력구매자의 입찰데이터(bidding data)로 결정되므로 불확실성의 정도가 매우 심해진다. 즉 가격결정에 있어서 입찰데이터는 매우 중요하며 입찰전략에 따라 사업자의 수익이 달라지기 때문이다. 또한 수직통합체제 때와는 달리 설비용량의 증설도 계통의 부하를 충족시키기 위해서가 아니라 각 발전사업자의 수익성을 고려하여 수행된다. 따라서 중장기적으로는 설비용량계획의 불확실성이 존재하고 단기적으로는 각 발전사업자의 수익 극대화를 위한 입찰 전략에 있어서의 불확실성이 존재하게 된다. 이와 같은 상황에서는 과거의 역사적 데이터를 바탕으로 해당시장에서 발전사업자들의 형태를 분석하는 실증적 분석(empirical analysis)이 가장 설득력이 있지만 현재 우리나라의 전력 시장은 CBP 체제이고 TWBP 시장은 열리지도 않았기 때문에 축적된 데이터는 전무하다. 이러한 현실적 여건 때문에 불확실성의 정도는 더욱 심해지고 TWBP 시장에서의 가격을 예측하는 과정에서도 어려움이 더욱 커지게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가능한 다양한 해외 연구 사례를 참조하여 시장에서의 발전사업자 중장기적(설비), 단기적(입찰전략) 행위를 어떤식으로 모델링하고 시장가격과 어떤 식으로 연결되는지를 분석해보고자 한다.

When the margin between available capacity and demand is thin in a liberalized electricity market, prices rise steeply and system reliability is threatened. The principal response to these circumstances is often an assumption that price spikes and electricity shortages are the result of a failure to build sufficient new supplying facilities. It is, of course, often the case that additional investments in generation and network facilities would improve reliability, and such investments are often needed. But focusing on additional generation and transmission facilities for restoring balance to the grid overlooks the essential fact that reliability is a function of the relationship between supply and demand, imposing unnecessary costs on electric system. When the relationship is out of balance, the search for solutions must consider not only investments supply-side resources but also cost-effective demand-side resources such as accelerated load management, efficiency measures, and price-responsive load programs. Integrating demand resources into electricity markets can add enormous value to the electric system, widening the capacity margin, lowering costs and enhancing system reliability at the same time. This paper studies several challenges now facing electricity markets: demand-side management-especially, economic effects of demand response, potential reliability problems, market and system operation, CBP market improvements and so on. The paper concludes with a series of policy recommendations in five areas: (i) The Effects of efficient improvement to incorporate demand responses and demand-side resources into modem electricity markets, (ii) Fosteing price based demand response and (iii) improving incentive based demand response, (iv) strengthen demand response analysis and valuation, (v) integrating demand response into resource planning and adopting enabling technologies.

수요자원은 단방향 소통의 수요관리차원에서 활용하는 방법과 수요자원의 효율성 제고와 사업모델 창출적 방법인 양방향 소통의 시장 친화적으로 활용하는 방법으로 구분할 수 있다. 세계적 추세는 수요자원을 전력시장과 통합하는 공급자와 소비자간 양방향 소통의 흐름으로 진행되고 있다. 여기서는 우리나라의 CBP 시장을 고려한 수요자원시장과 전력시장의 통합화를 위한 방안으로 수요자원과 발전자원의 경쟁 방안과 하루전에너지시장, 하루전 예비력시장, 용량시장의 기본 설계 및 운영방향을 제시하였다.

As the construction of renewable energy generators is on the rise and gets bigger in size, researchers pay more and more attention to the impact of such facilities on the power market as well as on the stability of power grid system. In Korea, while studies on the latter, including calculating the marginal capacity of renewable energy generators, is being made, those on the former has not yet been performed. As such, this paper analyses the impact of a big renewable energy generators on the price and transaction cost of domestic power market and proposes ideas to minimize such influence by applying the technology of forecasting renewable energy.

2001년 전력산업에 경쟁을 도입하면서 추진된 변동비반영 발전경쟁시장을 지난 7년간 운영하면서 개설초기부터 관심을 보이던 전력가격은 상당히 안정적인 모습을 보여왔다. 그러나 개설초기에 대부분의 사람들이 수요가 급등하는 하절기에 전력가격이 최고치를 기록할 것으로 예상해온 것과는 달리 하절기에는 오히려 가격이 하락하는 현상을 보여져왔다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상이 시장가격은 수요뿐이 아닌 예비율과 관련을 갖기 때문임을 통계적 방법을 이용하여 검증해보았다. 또한 시장참여발전기 중 특히 기저발전기가 미치는 영향을 조사였다.

Recently the power system consists of the more complicated structure, due to increase of power demands. In this circumstance, the congestion and loss capacity in transmission line is also increased. Accordingly, the investment planning of transmission system is required to reduce the congestion and loss of the transmission line. This paper proposes a method to compute the congestion and loss costs which are the key elements in economic assessment of the power system planning. And the benefit of market participants in CBP (Cost Based Pool) is computed. To demonstrate the efficient of the suggested methods, these methods are applied to peak load system of 2016 in the 4th Basic plan of Long-Them Electricity Supply and Demand.

The vertically integrated power industry was divided into six generation companies and one market operator, where electricity trading was launched at power exchange. In this environment, the profits of each generation companies are guaranteed according to utilization of their own generation equipments. Especially, the electricity demand shows seasonal and weekly regular pattern, which the some capacity should be provided into ancillary service based on the past demand forecasting error and operating results of electricity market. Namely, if generation cost function is applied to SMP and BLMP as announced the previous day, the available generation capacity of the following day could be optimally distributed, and therefore contract capacity of ancillary service applied to CBP(Cost Based Pool) and TWBP(Two-Way Bidding Pool) is determined. Consequently, it is Possible to use the retained equipments optimally. This paper represents on efficient bidding strategies for generation equipments through the calculation of the contract and the application of each generator cost function based on the past demand forecasting error and market operating data.

Electricity Market in Korea can't provide locational price signal through energy price because energy market is CBP(Cost Based Pool) using uniform price. Generators don't want to locate in a densely populated load area(like the metropolitan area). Because they are paid more fixed cost in metropolitan area. This situation has loss and congestion occurred in power system. However energy market without price signal can't lead generator to the metropolitan. So, market participants should be provided price signal through the transmission price instead of energy price. This paper proposes transmission pricing method considering reliability cost in order to offer price signal. Also, it proposes the method to allocate the transmission cost to each transmission line user through a fair and a reasonable manner. The transmission price is decided by the reliability value of each line. If a transmission line of high reliability value is broke, users using that line will get a loss and a discomfort. So, it is fair that users using a transmission line of high reliability value pay more than the other users. Also, it is reasonable that a transmission line owner get paid more form users using that line.
