本文展示了使用直流潮流网络对美国东部互联电网进行大规模古诺模型分析的结果。该模型包含100个网络节点（位于控制区域层面），以及由99家古诺厂商拥有的2725台发电机和200家竞争性边缘供应商。这些结果表明，这种建模方法能够在对大型互联区域的实际输电网络进行合理近似的情况下，分析潜在的发电市场力量。虽然此类模型已被用于分析市场设计方案，但将其应用于有关缓解发电市场力量的监管决策则更具争议性。我们认为，这种大规模市场价格模拟能够对美国用于并购和基于市场的费率的现有发电市场力量筛选方法的某些方面进行改进，并使用该模型对这些应用进行了说明。
This paper presents results from a large-scale Cournot model of the U.S. Eastern Interconnection using a DC load flow network. There are 100 network locations (at the level of control areas) along with 2725 generators owned by 99 Cournot firms and 200 competitive fringe suppliers. These results demonstrate that this modeling approach can analyze potential generation market power with a reasonable approximation of the actual transmission network over a large integrated region. While such models have been used to analyze market design alternatives, their application to regulatory decision-making concerning generation market power mitigation has been more controversial. We suggest that such large-scale market price simulations could improve upon aspects of the existing generation market power screening methods used in the United States for mergers and market-based rates, illustrating such applications using this model.
