Why You Should Attend

Electricity Price Formation and Forecasting

The content will cover forecasting prices – with or without sophisticated modeling tools – in the face of new policies, an evolving resource mix and changing market rules. A deion of U.S. locational marginal pricing (LMP) style markets is explained. Going beyond the traditional three-bus LMP example, attendees will learn how the market forms prices, and become familiar with how this knowledge supports decision-making, trading and negotiation. Following a review of LMP formation, real-world situations will be dissected using publicly-available data. Some solved “what-if” examples will illustrate the impact on LMPs of emerging bulk power developments using a simplified market model and the mathematics that solve them.

Key Topics

  • Impact of market rule changes
  • Locational Marginal Prices
  • Electricity Supply, Demand and Transmission Market Basics
  • Developing a Realistic Dispatch on a Simple Network
