CAREER Deregulated Market Flexible Transmission

项目摘要

Achieving the United States’ climate goals requires a massive level of investment in new power transmission infrastructure. This NSF CAREER project aims to substantially reduce this need by improving the transfer capability of the existing transmission network. This will be achieved by designing new markets that provide incentive for efficient operation of flexible transmission. It is expected that such incentives will lead to enhanced utilization of the existing grid and pave the way for innovation, making the nation’s power grid more modern, flexible, resilient, and economical. The intellectual merits of the project include development of new theories and methods that enable deregulated and market-based operation of flexible transmission, as opposed to today’s regulated structure. Guided by engineering and economics principles, the project will ensure that the power flows stay within the limits, social welfare is improved, and the market is revenue adequate. The broader impacts of the project include substantial savings in avoided new transmission project costs, enhancement of the efficiency of the nation’s electric power infrastructure and offering an economical pathway to adoption of increased renewable generation. Additionally, the project includes educational and outreach activities that will provide cutting-edge training opportunities in optimization, economics, and public policy, contributing to the advancement of the nation’s workforce. Flexible transmission, including topology control, nodal voltage phase control, and line impedance control, can significantly increase the transfer capability over the existing network. Despite the availability of the technology, deployment of flexible transmission has been rather limited, mainly due to lack of incentives. This CAREER project will develop theories, methods, and algorithms to offer market-based incentives for efficient operation of flexible transmission, based on the state of the system. The project will investigate two different market designs, based on: (i) allocation of financial transmission rights, and (ii) marginal value payments. The potential for exercise of market power within each design will also be studied, which will lead to regulatory guidelines for preventing market manipulation. The efficiency of the designs will be rigorously tested based on three criteria: (i) social welfare improvement, (ii) revenue adequacy, and (iii) computational tractability. The final market design, satisfying the efficiency criteria, will enable widespread utilization of flexible transmission technologies. While the project will formulate a linear market, ensuring compatibility with existing electricity market designs, the impacts of nonlinearity in power flow equations will be thoroughly investigated.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

实现美国的气候目标需要对新的输电基础设施进行大规模投资。NSF的CAREER项目旨在通过提高现有传输网络的传输能力来大幅降低这一需求。这将通过设计新的市场来实现，这些市场为灵活传输的有效运行提供激励。预计这些激励措施将提高现有电网的利用率，并为创新铺平道路，使国家电网更加现代化，灵活，有弹性和经济。该项目的智力价值包括开发新的理论和方法，使灵活传输的放松管制和基于市场的运作，而不是今天的管制结构。该项目将以工程和经济学原理为指导，确保潮流保持在极限范围内，社会福利得到改善，市场收入充足。该项目的更广泛影响包括节省大量新输电项目成本，提高国家电力基础设施的效率，并为采用更多的可再生能源发电提供经济途径。此外，该项目还包括教育和推广活动，将提供优化，经济和公共政策方面的尖端培训机会，为国家劳动力的发展做出贡献。柔性输电，包括拓扑控制、节点电压相位控制和线路阻抗控制，可以显著提高现有网络的传输能力。尽管有这种技术，但灵活传输的部署相当有限，主要原因是缺乏激励措施。该CAREER项目将开发理论，方法和算法，以根据系统的状态为灵活传输的有效运行提供基于市场的激励。该项目将研究两种不同的市场设计，基于：（i）金融输电权的分配，和（ii）边际价值支付。还将研究在每种设计中行使市场力量的可能性，这将导致防止操纵市场的监管准则。设计的效率将根据三个标准进行严格测试：（i）社会福利改善，（ii）收入充足性，（iii）计算易处理性。满足效率标准的最终市场设计将使灵活的输电技术得到广泛利用。虽然该项目将制定一个线性的市场，确保与现有的电力市场设计的兼容性，电力潮流方程的非线性的影响将被彻底调查。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
