Presentation Transcript

  1. Panel Session on “Teaching Deregulation” “Deregulation”-as a Power Engineering Course Kankar Bhattacharya Department of Electric Power Engineering Chalmers University of Technology 412 96 Gothenburg, SWEDEN

  2. Deregulation and the Power Academia as effected by deregulation inter-dependencies… Teaching Deregulation… at Chalmers Education levels Course structures How should we treat topics in the new environment Example Outline of the Presentation

  3. Has now been accepted and recognized…. as an important requirement for reduction of electricity prices for improving technical and economic efficiency of the system Has inevitably changed…. various aspects of operation and control of the power system Has led to... reformulation of established models on ELD, UC, among others scrutiny of reliability, control, security, and power quality requirements unbundling of various services such has frequency regulation and reactive power Deregulation of the Power Industry...

  4. Increasing pressure to re-direct research efforts to address new and emerging issues Demand for multi-disciplinary research more collaboration projects encouraged Industry research funding- more result dependent now, than ever Demand for all-rounder graduates computer / management / economics graduates often manage to handle power industry jobs Power Academia.. as affected by Deregulation

  5. Educators (power engineering departments) play a critical role... in providing the critical support base to the restructuring process to the players i.e. regulators, market operators and other participants Need for courses and curriculum that train students on the emerging issues coordinated with utilities, markets and system operators Mutually beneficial process... industry gets inputs of analytical studies, model development, simulations, etc. that address their unresolved problems academics benefit from the close interaction with real systems Educators Adapting to the Change...

  6. Inter-dependencies and New Trends in Power after Deregulation Economics IT and Operations Research Power Systems Micro / macroeconomics Power Markets HVDC Market Models OR Techniques T & D Econometrics- price forecasts Data Mining Reliability Demand Side Management FACTS Power Quality System Analysis and Design Power Electronics Distributed Generation High Efficiency Converters

  10. Advanced, state-of-art training in power engineering dwelling on theory and a sound practical basis Starting September 2002 No tuition fees Core Areas Power Systems, Power Electronics, Electric Machines & Drives and High Voltage Engineering Good Response from all over the world!! Over 100 Applications received in the FIRST YEAR… 30 Students will join from- Sweden, India, China, Iceland, Mexico, Indonesia, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. SCHOLARSHIPS FOR TOP TWO ADMITTED!! International Master’s Program in Power Engineering

  11. International Master’s in Power Engineering at Chalmers

  12. Module-1: Optimal system operation- overview Module-2: Transition to Deregulation Module-3: Competition in Generation and Role of ISO Module-4: Transmission Open Access Module-5: System Control in Deregulation Operation of Restructured Power SystemsIMP / Ph. D. / Industry Course

  13. Short-term economic operations planning and scheduling models, basics of frequency and voltage control and introduction to power system reliability Sub-modules: Generation Scheduling ELD and UC models System Control Frequency control and AGC, voltage stability System reliability Generation, transmission and distribution reliability Module-1: Optimal System Operation- overview

  14. Multi-area power interchange, energy brokerage system and power pools. Sub-modules: Optimal Power Flow Various applications Power pools and multi-area power interchanges Energy brokerage systems Allocation of savings Deregulation Different structures, country cases and practices Module-2: Transition to Deregulation

  15. Operational planning activities of competitive gencos and the ISO in different markets. Topics on transmission system Sub-modules: Pool versus bilateral markets Auction mechanisms and market settlement Dispatch and scheduling activities by gencos, bidding strategies Role of the ISO System security Classical methods and market based tools Power wheeling Third party wheeling and pricing of transactions Module-3: Competition in Generation and Role of ISO

  16. Transmission costs and pricing paradigms, country practices, ancillary services- definitions and standards of operating authorities and how these are managed Sub-modules: Transmission open access Transmission costing and pricing paradigms Embedded cost based, incremental cost based, etc. Ancillary services details Definitions and classification Country practices Deregulation and reliability Effect of definitions on reliability and need for regulation System performance and regulation practices Module-4: Transmission Open Access

  17. System control services including frequency regulation and reactive power. Congestion management- various models for analysis and practices Sub-modules: System control in deregulation Frequency regulation and energy balance services Reactive power management in deregulation Congestion management Congestion management models, pricing instruments Country practices Module-5: System Control in Deregulation

  18. What has changed and how should we treat the topics in the changed environment? Train to integrate technical perspectives with economics and policy issues Need to discuss real market operations, structures, and country cases in addition to theoretical models Exposure to market environment through simulators Deregulation and Power Engineering Education

  19. Old The classical demand-supply balance The centralized objective function of cost minimization New Market equilibrium Different objective functions maximization of profits at genco level maximization of social welfare at pool level What has changed?How should we treat the topics in the new environment?

  20. Competitive Markets work through an interaction of “supply” and “demand” Market Equilibrium- when price is high enough so that the quantity supplied just equals the quantity demanded Equilibrium Price- at which the demand and supply curves cross. The corresponding quantity is the quantity traded in market equilibrium The Concept of Market Equilibrium….

  21. Technical Perspective: Load Flow Solution Train Students to Integrate Technical Perspectives with Economics and Policy Issues…. A Classical Power Flow Simulation Result All power flows shown are in per-unit

  22. Train Students to Integrate…. (contd.) Economic Perspective: Transmission Pricing Introduce Power Trades All power flows shown are in per-unit

  23. Train Students to Integrate…. (contd.) Power Flow Analysis after Trade-T1 Calculations: (unit cost of transmission line is assumed 100$/MW-mile) Power Flow Analysis after Trade-T2 T1: pays 75.7% of the cost T2: pays 24.3% of the cost

  24. Teaching “Deregulation” is unavoidable in the present circumstances needs to be started early (e.g. 3rd Year EE course at Chalmers) Many existing courses need to be modified or new courses need to be developed Courses should have a wider scope with case studies, country examples Train the students to built a broader perspective integrate their technical knowledge with policy and economics Concluding Remarks
