The presence of a large power flow controlling device such as an HVDC link can have a significant impact on the development and operation of the electricity markets. In operating HVDC transmission links in a fully deregulated market, power system planners, market designers and system operators need to address issues in three important dimensions: market, operational and financial. In grid planning and operation in vertically integrated power utilities, the cost of developing and operating HVDC transmission assets were often justified based on the economics of energy transmission, and the ancillary services consumed or produced by the HVDC links received little or no attention. However, in deregulated markets, these services are unbundled and separated to a significant extent. In this paper, the authors’ experience on the influence of the New Zealand HVDC transmission link in developing and operating the New Zealand electricity market is discussed. The inter-island HVDC link in New Zealand has a significant influence on the successful operation of the physical power system as well as the electricity market. While at present New Zealand operates a mature electricity market, only some of the benefits and constraints of operation of the HVDC link have been identified and accommodated in the market rules and tools. The controllability of power flow through each HVDC pole is represented in the market “scheduling, pricing and dispatch” tool. The generation and HVDC dispatch is optimised taking into consideration generation offers, ac grid constraints, power system losses (ac as well as dc), supply security and the cost of instantaneous reserves required for managing the under-frequency performance of the power system. Market policies are being developed recognising the ability of the HVDC link to modulate the power transfer between the islands as well as the security risks associated with single or bi-pole failure. Presently the reactive power support for operating the HVDC link is ensured through bilateral contracts with the appropriate generators. Further enhancements to market arrangements for the HVDC link would expose the true value of power transmission through the HVDC link and enhance the economic efficiency of operation of the New Zealand power system.
