This project concerns one of the most difficult aspects of the changing electric power industry, i.e. the delivery of market-driven power trades. In particular, the problem of transmission provision and pricing for the evolving electric power industry organizations is posed as a dynamically evolving process jointly driven by the technological, regulatory and business factors. The objective is to model and analyze this process for its short-term and longer-term performance under various technological and regulatory solutions. Ultimately, a decision-making problem for transmission delivery and its valuation is attempted as the problem of multi-rate feedback design in response to technical, economic and regulatory output variables. The major challenge here concerns management of various uncertainties, both physical (real) and market-related (Pigouvian) and their interdependencies. The intellectual merit of this project comes from viewing the transmission provision, pricing and regulation as a single dynamic system. The current-state-of-art in any of the sub-disciplines underlying this complex problem (engineering, economics, regulation, industry organization, finance) is such that only particular aspects of the problem get studied, assuming the other inputs to be exogenous. The approach envisioned in this project would be to thrive on formalizing the interdependencies between the technical, economic and regulatory signals. For this reason the project has a potentially huge broad impact on the way electric power is delivered and valued in the future. The same approach is used to develop new paradigms for the industry, as well as for developing educational frameworks necessary for thinking about transmission delivery and its valuation as a complex problem with many interdependencies.

该项目涉及不断变化的电力行业中最困难的方面之一，即以市场为导向的电力交易的交付。特别地，将发展中的电力行业组织的输电供给和定价问题提出为一个由技术、监管和商业因素共同驱动的动态演进过程。目标是在各种技术和监管解决方案下对该过程的短期和长期性能进行建模和分析。最后，将传输交付及其评估的决策问题作为响应技术、经济和监管输出变量的多速率反馈设计问题进行了尝试。这里的主要挑战涉及管理各种不确定性，包括物理（实际）和市场相关（庇古）及其相互依赖性。该项目的智力价值来自于将输电供应、定价和监管视为一个单一的动态系统。在这个复杂问题背后的任何子学科（工程学、经济学、监管、行业组织、金融）中，当前的技术水平都是这样的，即假设其他输入是外生的，只研究问题的特定方面。本项目设想的办法是使技术、经济和管制信号之间的相互依赖关系正式化。由于这个原因，该项目对未来电力的输送和估值方式可能产生巨大的广泛影响。同样的方法也用于为该行业开发新的范例，以及开发必要的教育框架，以将传输交付及其评估视为一个具有许多相互依赖关系的复杂问题。
