Nodal Pricing

The prices shown below are exclusive of GST. A green tick indicates seats are available. A red cross indicates seats are sold out.

Early payment discount is only available if the course fee is paid in full on or by the indicated early payment discount date below.

Objective: To provide a working knowledge of nodal dispatch and pricing as it applies to the New Zealand electricity spot market, including simple formulae to apply and the ability to recognise the cause of certain nodal pricing effects.

Objective: To provide a working knowledge of nodal dispatch and pricing as it applies to the New Zealand electricity spot market, including simple formulae to apply and the ability to recognise the cause of certain nodal pricing effects.

Prerequisites: EL0.  Alternatively, some familiarity with the electricity spot market including an overview knowledge of the SPD and RMT models, and with the processes and timing of publication of final, and other prices.

  1. Market Processes and Models for Dispatch and Pricing
    Dispatch and pricing processes
    Dispatch and pricing models – SPD and RMT
    Dispatch cost function
    Constraints in dispatch and pricing models
    Shadow prices
    Nodal energy prices and reserve prices defined
    Losses and constraints surplus

  2. One Node \'Markets\'
    Dispatch and pricing of energy
    Reserves risk offsets
    Dispatch and pricing of reserve
    Dispatch and pricing effects for energy-reserve constrained dispatch
    Dispatch and pricing dominated by reserves

  3. Adding Lines and Losses
    Pricing effects of losses in AC and DC lines
    Linear versus quadratic losses
    Contribution of losses to the losses and constraints surplus
    Loss modelling in SPD

  4. Congested Networks
    Line limits
    Pricing effects of simple line constraints
    Contribution of constrained lines to the losses and constraints surplus
    \"Spring washer effect\" due to line constraints in loops in the Grid

Note: Only simple arithmetic is used in this course.  Simple examples using a few nodes at most are used to assist learning.  Course material may also vary from the above on the day.
