In general, both markets follow a two-step process to perform dispatch and pricing of the system. First, security-constrained economic dispatch of the system is performed, referred to as the dispatch run. Second, the calculation of Locational Marginal Prices is performed separately and subsequent to the dispatch run, referred to as the pricing run. The objective of both the dispatch run and the pricing run is to serve load and meet reserve requirements at the least cost while evaluating the same transmission constraints. > > In the pricing run, however, Integer Relaxation is performed to allow Eligible Fast-Start Resources that are online in the dispatch run, to set price as well as to incorporate their associated commitment costs. Integer Relaxation allows Eligible Fast-Start Resources that generally do not have wide dispatchable ranges to be fully dispatchable between zero and their Economic Maximum. Resources cannot be committed in the pricing run if they were not committed in the dispatch run. This in turn allows the optimization problem in the pricing run to use a fraction of a committed Eligible Fast-Start Resource’s output, including an amount less than the resource’s offered economic minimum output, in the determination of Locational Marginal Prices. + +### Markets in NESO + +Source: + + +> There are several different markets operating across GB’s electricity system, some of the key ones being: +> - **Wholesale electricity markets** include the sale and purchase of electricity between suppliers and generators. +> - **Retail electricity markets** involve suppliers selling electricity direct to consumers. +> - **Balancing mechanism market** refers to how the NESO balances real-time supply and demand through the Balancing Mechanism. +> - **Balancing services market** include the range of services across the NESO that ensure the security and quality of electricity supply across GB’s transmission system. + diff --git a/_wiki/wholesale-markets.md b/_wiki/wholesale-markets.md index 883d7141..dfbb8895 100644 --- a/_wiki/wholesale-markets.md +++ b/_wiki/wholesale-markets.md @@ -4,17 +4,30 @@ description: The purchase and sale from generators to resellers. tags: - market - ferc + - neso +related: + - market authors: - name: Jinning Wang url: https://jinningwang.github.io date: 2025-03-15 -last_update: 2025-06-20 +last_update: 2025-06-22 --- -**Wholesale Electricity Markets** by FERC - ### Definition by FERC Source: > The purchase and sale of electricity from **generators to resellers** (who sell to retail customers) along with the ancillary services needed to maintain reliability and power quality at the transmission level. + +### Definition by NESO + +Source: + +> The wholesale electricity market is where electricity is bought and sold before being delivered to consumers.
