Among many energy resources, natural gas has recently received a remarkable amount of attention, particularly from the electrical generation industry. This is in part due to increasing shale gas production, providing an environment-friendly fossil fuel, and high risk of nuclear power. Because South Korea, the world's second largest LNG importing nation after Japan, has no international natural gas pipelines and relies on imports in the form of LNG, the natural gas has been traditionally procured by long term LNG contracts at relatively high price. Thus, there is a need of developing an Asian LNG trading hub, where LNG can be traded at more competitive spot prices. In a natural gas spot market, the amount of natural gas to be bought should be carefully determined considering a limited storage capacity and future pricing dynamics. In this work, the problem to find the optimal amount of natural gas in a spot market is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP) in risk neutral environment and the optimal base stock policy which depends on a stage and price is established. Taking into account price and demand uncertainties, the basestock target levels are simply approximated from dynamic programming. The simulation results show that the basestock policy can be one of effective ways for procurement of LNG in a spot market.

As deregulation evolves, pricing electricity becomes a major issue in the electric industry. Participants of competitive marketplace are able to improve their profits substantially by adequately pricing the electricity. In this paper, game theory is applied to analyze the price-clearing in the generation bidding competition and the competition is modeled as the noncooperative and complete information. The result of this analysis can be useful in understanding spot price-clearing of electricity and generating entity's strategic behavior in the competitive electricity market.

In this paper, the unbiasedness hypothesis cannot be rejected for JPY. It means that Japanese forward exchange market is efficient. This implies that there would not be an unusual profit from speculation. However, the unbiasedness hypothesis can be rejected for THB, HKD, IDR. It means that Asian forward exchange market is inefficient. This implies that there would be an unusual profit from all available information. This suggests that forward exchange rates cannot be an unbiased estimator of future spot exchange rate. This result explains that the actual pricing for forward rate is not based on the international financial market's pricing mechanism of interest rate parity theory, but rather depends upon that simple market expectations and aspirations.

The introduction of competition in the generation of electricity has raised the fundamental question of whether markets provide the right incentives for the provision of the capacity needed to maintain system reliability. Capacity mechanisms are adopted around the world to guarantee appropriate level of investment in electricity generation capacity. In this study, we discuss these approaches and analyze the capacity pricing mechanisms from the adequacy perspective. We conclude that the design of capacity mechanism is very important to decrease electricity spot price and increase total electric capacity. Specifically, the constant of capacity pricing mechanism made a difference to the performance of electricity market. However, the slope of capacity price mechanism is better than the constant of that in improving performance of electricity market.

This paper presents a new approach for evaluating the transmission marginal loss factors (MLFs) considering the reactive power. Generally, MLFs are represented as the sensitivity of transmission losses, which is computed from the change of the generation at reference bus by the change of the load at the arbitrary bus-i. The conventional evaluation method for MLFs uses the only H matrix, which is a part of jacobian matrix. Therefore, the MLFs computed by the existing method, don't consider the effect of the reactive power, although the transmission losses are a function of the reactive power as well as the active power. To compensate the limits of the existing method for evaluating MLFs, the power factor at the bus-i is introduced for reflecting the effect of the reactive power in the evaluation method of the MLFs. Also, MLFs calculated by the developed method are applied to energy spot markets to reflect the impacts of reactive power. This method is tested with the sample system with 5-bus, and analyzed how much MLFs have an effect on the bidding/offer price, market clearing price(MCP), and settlement in the competitive energy spot market. This paper compared the results of MLFs calculated by the existing and proposed method for the IEEE 14-bus system, and the KEPCO system.

본 연구에서는 시계열분석기법과 그래프 이론을 활용하여 8개의 북미천연가스 현물시장간의 관계를 분석하였다. 벡터오차수정모형과 탐욕동급검색 알고리즘(Greedy Equivalence Search Algorithm)을 활용한 그래프 이론을 통해 시장간의 관계를 분석한 결과, 가격발견과정은 초과수요지역에서 발생하여 초과공급지역으로 진행되는 것으로 나타났다. 북미 천연가스 현물시장 중에서 시카고로 대표되는 미국의 중서부지역이 가격발견과정에 있어 가장 중요한 시장인 것으로 나타났으며 미국 동부지역에 있어 펜실바니아의 Ellisburg-Leidy Hub이, 그리고 미국서부지역에 있어서는 Malin Hub이 가격발견과정에 있어 중요한 시장인 것으로 나타났다.

온실가스의 국가감축목표 달성을 위한 시장 메커니즘의 핵심수단으로서 2015년 1월부터 국내에서도 배출권거래제가 시행되고 있다. 배출권 거래의 초기 거래실적은 해외사례에서도 높지 않은 편이지만, 성공적인 정책으로 발전되도록 배출권 시장이 보다 활성화될 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 현재 제1차 계획기간의 3개 이행연도별로 세분화되어 있지 않은 배출권 가격에 대해 적절한 가격 시그널이 마련되어야 한다. 이자율의 기간구조 개념과 선물가격 산정 방법인 보유비용 모델을 이용해 이행연도별 배출권 가격 산정 방법을 제시함으로써, 가격발견기능에 관한 시장 참여자의 합리적 기대 형성과 거래시장 활성화에 기여하고자 한다.

This paper presents a two-stage market auction model in a pool-based electricity market, which explicitly takes into account the system network security. The security network-constrained market auction model considers the use of corrective control to yield economically efficient actions in the post-contingency state, while ensuring a certain security level. Under this framework, the proposed model shows not only for quantifying the correlation between secure system operation and efficient market operation, but also for providing transparent information on the pricing system security for market participants. The two-stage market auction procedure is formulated using Benders decomposition (BD). In the first stage, the market participants bid in the market for maximizing their profit, and the independent system operator (ISO) clears the market based on social welfare maximization. System network constraints incorporating post-contingency control actions are described in the second stage of the market auction procedure. The market solutions, along with the BD, yield nodal spot prices (NSPs) and nodal congestion prices (NCPs) as byproducts of the proposed two-stage market auction model. Two benchmark systems are used to test and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

본 연구는 새로운 정보에 대하여 국채선도금리시장(forward market)과 국채 현물시장(spot market) 중 어느 시장이 더 효율적으로 반응하는지에 관한 분석을 실시하였다. 2002년 3월부터 2005년 1월말까지 3개월, 6개월, 9개월 및 1년물 국채선도금리(forward rate)와 각 시계열들의 현물 금리의 수익률 및 변동성자료를 사용하여 그랜져인과관계분석, 충격반응함수 및 분산분해 분석을 실시하였으며 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 수익률 및 변동성을 이용한 그랜져인과관계분석(Granger causality test)결과에 의하면 국채 선도금리시장이 국채현물시장보다 새로운 정보에 대하여 더 효율적으로 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 충격 반응함수(impulse response analysis)에서도 국채선도금리시장의 국채현물시장에 대한 영향력이 국채현물시장의 국채선도금리시장에 대한 영향력보다 더 강하고 지속적인 것으로 나타났다. 분산분해분석(variance decomposition analysis)에서는 전체적으로 3개월 및 6개월 등기간이 짧은 국채선도금리 수익률 및 변동성이 기간이 긴 국채선도금리보다 국채현물시장에 대한 영향력이 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과로부터 새로운 정보에 대하여 국채현물시장보다는 국채선도금리시장이 더 효율적으로 반응하고 있음을 추론해 볼 수 있으며 이는 기존 국내외 주식현물시장과 선물시장들 간의 영향력을 분석한 결과 선물시장의 현물시장에 대한 영향력이 더 강한다는 결과들과 일맥상통하는 것으로 나타났다.
