PI: Oren, Shmuel This research project is exploring a proposed change in market design (and a corresponding business model) aimed at mobilizing the available flexibility of certain loads through proper incentives, and an aggregation scheme which will provide flexible... |

PI: Schuler, Richard This project was designed to extend previous analyses of the theory, design and testing of multi-dimensional markets to the special problems of coordinating and planning for the efficient transfer of power across control areas in ways that preserve or... |

PI: Thomas, Robert J. The objective of this effort was to adapt the existing Pserc software platform (PowerWeb) so that it can be used effectively to test alternative ways of providing reactive power (primarily dynamic VArs) in a deregulated market.

PI: Hedman, Kory This project is conducting optimization-based analyses to examine: (a) new reserve policies for contingency-based reserves and ramping products, which may be needed to compensate for resource uncertainty; (b) the possible creation of dynamic zonal... |

PI: Mount, Tim This project was designed to continue the coordinated program in the theory, design and testing of multidimensional markets for energy, reserves and other ancillary services, and the integration of active demand-side participation to form self-... |

PI: Scaglione, Anna This project is modeling and evaluating the interfaces needed to allow an aggregator (or load serving entity) to harness the flexibility of a large population of appliances in a way that is reliable and economically sustainable. The work is... |

PI: Oren, Shmuel This project was designed to address several emerging issues for the Western US and the context of the WECC: (1) Will multiple concurrent market-based policies necessarily benefit renewable producers at the expense of consumers and coal-based producers... |

PI: Mount, Tim This project was designed to investigate how the presence of forward contracts affects the behavior of suppliers in real-time markets, how suppliers and buyers determine an equilibrium between forward and real-time sales, how the volatility of spot... |

PI: Shulze, Bill This project is using the SuperOPF Planning Tool (now called E4ST) to study the future evolution of the US electric power system under different scenarios involving load growth, fuel prices, and regulations that direct... |

PI: Lesieutre, Bernie Market power gives certain market participants the ability to manipulate the market to their advantage. In our research we identify resources which have the potential for market power either individually or within a small group based on sensitivity... |

PI: Zhang, Max The scope of the project was to develop strategies to achieve the co-benefits of maintaining power systems reliability and protecting public health (from air pollution) during high electricity demand days (HEDDs). HEDDs are typically hot summer days... |

PI: Overbye, Tom The objective of the proposed work is to investigate the value of inertia as a service to grid operations. We will consider questions such as how much inertia is needed for grid operation, how much location comes into play in determining governor... |

PI: Oren, Shmuel This project was designed to explore the potential saving in economic dispatch cost from simultaneous economic dispatch of generation resources and switching off lines in a smart grid environment. Develop new models that capture the potential of line... |
