Presented to CMWG 1/27/2010 Constraints Competitiveness Tests (CCT) Results Analysis of 2010 SSWG Peak Summer Case
Agenda • Description of Study • Method • Weaknesses • Results • Proposal for Next Study • Constants • Changes • Discussion of Issues Raised in Previous CMWG • Discussion of CCT Test CCT
Description of Study • Model • 2010 Steady State Working Group Peak Summer Case • Posted Dec 2009 • Constraints • Within Zone Combinations of 2010 CSCs and CREs • W-N contingencies with W-N elements • N-W contingencies with N-W elements • N-S contingencies with N-S elements • S-N contingencies with S-N elements • N-H contingencies with N-H elements • Decision Making Entity • Used the same information as previous study CCT
Weaknesses of Study • Decision Making Entity information lacking • DME information was developed for 2009 SSWG case • Significant mismatch between 2009 and 2010 cases • New DME from RARF not yet complete in Registration • Scorecards go live soon. • Peak Summer Case Used • Only reflects one network condition for entire year
Measuring Market Concentration - HHI • Market Concentration • Is a function of the no. of firms and their respective shares of the total production in a market. Alternative terms includes Industry Concentration, or seller concentration etc. • Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) • Is calculated by summing the squares of the individual market shares (in percentage) of all the participants: • where si is the market share of firm i in the market; and N is the number of firms. CCT
Measuring Market Concentration – HHI - Examples • HHI gives proportionately greater weight to the market shares of the larger firms, in accord with their relative importance in competitive interactions • HHI is a commonly used measurement. For example, the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission’s Horizontal Merger Guidelines use HHI. • Highly competitive: below 100 • Un-concentrated: between 100 to 1000 • Moderately concentrated: between 1000 and 1800 • Highly concentrated: above 1800 CCT
CCT Implementation - Two Test Procedures • CCT - Test Procedure 1: • A constraint fails the competitive test if its Element Competitiveness Index (ECI) is: CCT
CCT Implementation - Two Test Procedures • Test Procedure 1 • Determine if there is sufficient competition to solve the constraint on the import and export sides by performing the following steps • Determine effective capacity available to resolve the constraint on the import side • Determine effective capacity available to resolve the constraint on the export side • Determine Element Competitive Index (ECI) on the import and export sides • Determine is the constraint is competitive by comparing the calculated ECIs on import and export sides to predefined ECI thresholds • Test Procedure 2 • Determine the existence of any pivotal players CCT
CCT Implementation - Two Test Procedures Generation Effective Load (max withdraw) Effective Capacity >= (Load +Limit) Entity: x, y,…, a, b,… Export Side Import Side Limit • Determine effective capacity needed on Import Side to resolve the constraint (Export Side used as Reference) • Determine ECI on Import Side of the Constraint • Determine Shift Factors, effective load & effective capacity on Export Side (Import Side used as reference); and determine the resources on Export Side that bind the constraints (XUSED).

Initial Analysis Based on CSCs/CREs • Data Used – Network model same as annual (Planning Data) • The Protocol Reference 3.19 (3): • Initial analysis of the CSCs and CREs and additional proposed contingency/limiting Transmission Element pairs for possible modifications or designation to their status as a Competitive Constraint must be completed prior to the Texas Nodal Market Implementation Date and subsequent analysis shall be on-going. • Contingencies – CSC/CRE combinations for the same interface • I.e. evaluate all N-H CSC/CREs • in Base Case and • loss of one N-H CSC/CRE • Repeat for other 4 interfaces • No. of Constraints Evaluated: • (12*13 + 16*17 + 16*17 + 17*17 +17*17) = 1278 August 2009 - Slide 17 CCT
