Natural monopolies arise due to high startup costs and significant economies of scale that allow only one efficient firm. They are often regulated to protect consumers. Examples include utilities, internet providers, and railroads. A natural monopoly exists naturally due to market forces, unlike regular monopolies formed by eliminating competition. Natural monopolies have high fixed costs and barriers to entry that prevent competition. They maximize profits by pricing in the elastic portion of demand rather than the inelastic portion where price changes have little effect on revenue.
This document discusses the development of local electricity markets to encourage distributed energy resources and active participation of local energy producers and consumers (prosumers). It outlines the EMPOWER project's approach to designing a local market place that uses innovative business models and operational methods. The market aims to maximize local energy production and consumption over time, while exploiting flexibility options to balance supply and demand locally when mismatches occur. It discusses key considerations like being user-centric, competitive, and economically sustainable. Early field results from one pilot site show increased local energy capacity and DER sales.

Overview of rate setting & their role in smart gridbobprocter
This document discusses rate setting and the role of rates in the smart grid from an 80,000 foot view. It provides an overview of economic regulation of utilities, the goal of ensuring fair rates that approximate competitive results. It outlines the 5 steps of rate setting: determining prudent costs, revenue requirements, cost allocation, rate design, and setting rates. Rate design options including time-based rates are discussed, and why rate design is considered an element of the smart grid to better link costs and rates to manage costs and reduce peak usage.
This document discusses open access power purchase in India. Open access allows for the non-discriminatory use of transmission and distribution systems by licensees, consumers, and generators. It describes bilateral transactions for buying and selling power as well as collective transactions through power exchanges like IEX. Requirements for open access include installation of specialized meters, available transmission capacity, a contract demand over 1 MW, payment security, and no pending legal issues. Cost analyses are provided for purchasing 1 MW of power through IEX daily bidding and a bilateral fixed tariff agreement.
The project involves determining real time electricity charges incurred by the residential consumers. The smart grid integrated with residential PV systems was modeled in Simulink to determine demand response in dynamic pricing environment. Based on the load demand, electricity charges were calculated and compared with flat rate charges to highlight cost savings.
Patriot Energy Group is one of the largest energy management firms, specializing in electric and natural gas supply procurement. They educate organizations on strategic energy purchasing options to guide them towards the most appropriate solutions to meet business goals. Patriot acts as an advocate for clients, developing customized energy strategies that offer varying degrees of risk tolerance while providing ongoing support and analysis.
The utility landscape is dynamic. Some pundits claim that traditional utility regulation is becoming obsolete. Others are calling for a complete overhaul of utility ratemaking as we know it; distributed energy resources, technology advancements and societal trends are changing the way utilities function. In such turbulent times, how can utilities manage their financials through rate structures? How can utilities bridge the span between the rate and regulatory frameworks of yesterday and tomorrow? One way to do so is to revisit the design of rate offerings available to all utility customers and to residential customers in particular.
This document provides an overview of power trading concepts in India. It defines power trading as the transfer of surplus electricity from one utility to another with a deficit. Open access to transmission networks is key to enabling power trading. Bilateral contracts between buyers and sellers and trading on power exchanges are the two main mechanisms. Derivatives like futures, forwards and options are used to hedge risks associated with price volatility in power trading. Entities like PXIL, IEX and PTC play important roles in facilitating power trading in India.
The document discusses open access and power trading in India. It defines open access as the non-discriminatory provision for use of transmission systems by licensees and consumers. Open access allows consumers to choose electricity sellers and generators to choose buyers. There are technical and financial requirements for availing open access like a minimum volume of 1 MW and installation of special meters. Power flow is controlled by load dispatch centers at state, regional and national levels. Power trading involves buying surplus power and selling into deficit areas using transmission systems. There are categories of trading licenses with different maximum transaction volumes.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

2. Transactional Energy Offers & Transactions
• Clear and frequent communication.
• Foreword and real-time for a quantity, in a time
period, at a location.
• Many frequent, small transactions leading to a
position in a time period, at a location.
• Periods : years, months, days, hours, minutes, or
seconds.
• Applies to cost-based and open markets.
TeMIX builds on OASIS eMIX in support of PAP 03 common price communication model.
TeMIX contributes to OASIS Energy Interop in support of PAP 09 standard DR and DER signals.

4. TeMIX Energy Transactions
Extends to ancillary service,
• Obligation energy transaction
transmission, distribution &
environmental commodity products
– An obligation by the buyer to purchase and the
seller to deliver energy over a given period of time
at a constant rate-of-delivery (kW, MW).
• Obligation energy option transaction
– A put (option to sell) or a call (option to buy).
• Full-requirements transaction (limited use in TeMIX)
– provides any amount of energy at variable rate of delivery
during interval.
– subsequent transactions have no baseline.

7. Mature Transactional Energy Example
typical wholesale forward transactions
Forward Energy Planning:
Parties plan usage and supply, with automatic or manual response to forward Energy
Offers and forecasts of power prices, needs, costs, weather, etc. Plans may change as the
offers and forecasts change.
Forward Energy Offers:
Parties tender forward buy and sell Energy Offers.
Forward Energy Transactions:
Parties buy or sell a fraction of planned energy in each forward period. As plans and offers
change, Energy Transactions add to or subtract from the customer's total rate of delivery
(position) in each period.
Energy Metering:
After delivery, the meter reports energy delivered in each 5-minute period. The balancing
energy rate of delivery (kW) is the meter reading (kWh) for the 5-minute period times 12 ),
less the position.
Balancing Energy Transactions:
Balancing market operators and others make ex-post balancing Energy Offers. Each party
purchases or sells its balancing energy as Energy Transactions.
Total Energy Costs and Revenues:
The total cost or revenue to a party is the sum of the extended prices (+or -) of all its
Energy Transactions.

8. Retail Ex-Ante Hourly RTP
typical retail real-time pricing (RTP)
Day-Ahead Ex-Ante Hourly Offers:
At 12 noon, the RSP tenders to the retail customers a vector of
Energy Offers to sell for the 24 hours of the next day. Rate of
delivery limited only by the service connection.
Real-Time Usage:
Customer self-manages electric usage with automatic and/or
manual response to the hourly prices of the Energy Offers.
Metering and Costs:
Meter reports energy delivered in each hour. An Energy
Transaction is entered with the rate of delivery equal to the
meter reading (kWh) for the hour. The extended price (cost) in
each hour equals the hourly price of the Energy Offer times the
meter reading for the hour.
8
9. Fixed Baseline with Hourly Ex-Ante RTP
provides cost-of-service hedge to RTP
Cost of Service Baseline Allocation:
Customer accepts a cost-of-service fixed baseline Energy Transaction The baseline amount
typically varies by time-of-day, day-of-week and season. The cost of the baseline transaction
is a fixed amount per month.
Day-Ahead Hourly Ex-Ante Offers:
At 12 noon, the RSP tenders to the retail customers a vector of Energy Offers to sell for the
24 hours of the next day. Rate of delivery is limited only by the service connection.
Real-Time Customer Usage:
Customer self-manages electric usage, with automatic and/or manual response to the hourly
prices of the Energy Offers.
Metering:
Meter reports energy delivered in each hour. An Energy Transaction is entered with a rate of
delivery equal to the meter reading (kWh) for the hour less the baseline rate of delivery.
Extended price (cost) in each hour equals the hourly price of the Energy Offer times the
meter reading for the hour.
Total Costs:
The total cost per month is the monthly baseline Energy Offer extended price plus the hourly
Energy Transaction extended price (positive or negative) over all hours in the month.

10. Build-Your-Own Baseline with Forward
Offers and 5-Minute Ex-Post Offers
Customer Forward Planning: forward hedging with dynamic pricing
Customer plans usage and supply, with automatic or manual response to forward Energy
Offers by a RSP and forecasts of power prices, needs, costs, weather, etc. Plans may
change as the offers and forecasts change.
Customer Receives Forward Offers:
Customer receives vectors of forward buy and sell Energy Offers. Vectors of offers may
be for each 5-minute period for the remainder of the hour and the next hour, hourly for the
rest of the day and the next day, and then daily, monthly or yearly. Each offer has an
availability period and all offers close before the start of delivery.
Customer Forward Transactions (build-your-own baseline) :
Customer purchases all or some fraction of planned energy using Energy Transactions.
The transactions change the customer's position in each period.
Real-Time 5-minute Ex-Post Offers:
After each 5-minute delivery period, 5-minute buy and sell Energy Offers are tendered.
Metering and Costs:
Meter reports energy delivered in each 5-minute period. A 5-minute Energy Transaction is
entered with a rate of delivery equal to the meter reading (kWh) for the 5-minute interval
times 12), less the position from all forward transactions.
Total Customer Costs:
Total customer cost is the sum of the extended prices of all transactions.

11. Full-Requirements Tariff with
Increasing Monthly Block Rates
typical California IOU residential tariff
RSP Offers Full-Requirements Monthly Contract with Three Increasing Block
Rates:
RSP offers to retail customer three monthly call options Energy Options for any amount
of energy up to an average rate-of-delivery (not constant). Each block has a strike price
(rate).
1. Up to 300 kWh for month at $0.10 per kWh
2. 300 kWh up to 1000 kWh for month at $0.15 per kWh
3. Over 1000 kWh for month at $0.20 per kWh
Monthly Metering and Costs:
Meter reports energy delivered in each monthly period. The monthly metered energy is
allocated first to the lower price blocks. Up to three monthly Energy Transactions
result. The extended price (cost) of each block is the call option strike price (rate) times
the monthly metered energy.
11
12. Event-Based Demand Response
RSP Event-Based Demand Response Call Option: a DR program is a call energy option
RSP offers to a retail customer a call Option Offer (demand response program). The Option
Offer has an option premium price of $20 per kW-month and a strike price of $1 per kWh for
actual energy curtailments. The call option is for any weekday peak hour (12 noon to 8 pm) in the
months of June through September. The option is constrained to be exercised up to 20 hours per
month.
Customer Accepts Event-Based Demand Response Offer:
Customer agrees to 2 kW of curtailment for a monthly payment of 2 kW times $20 per kW-month
or $40 per month.
RSP Exercises Option based on ISO Demand Response Event:
At 1:30 pm, on July 16th, the ISO issues a demand response event (Command) for two hours from
2 pm to 6 pm (4 hours) on July 16th. Per an ISO contract with the RSP, the RSP exercises the call
option for four hours. RSP then Commands the customer to curtail 2 kW from 2 pm to 6 pm. (Note
the chain-of-command)
Customer Curtails Usage: a DR event initiates a chain-of-commands
Customer reduces his rate-of-delivery by 2 kW (Energy Transaction) from his contracted baseline
position or, in the case of a full-requirements contract, an estimated baseline.
Hourly Metering and Costs:
Meter readings verify the reduction vs. the baseline. Customer is paid 2 kW times 4 hours times $1
per kWh or $8 for the actual curtailment The customer is paid for all events during the month plus
the monthly premium.
