Possibilities for DERs: Evaluating Existing and New Models for DER Participation
… participate independently as price-takers in the wholesale electricity market while other regions, such as California, allow DERs to actively bid into the wholesale electricity market through large-scale aggregators that represent many individual DERs. Potential novel models for DER participation …

Valuation methods for capital investment in merchant power plants
Wholesale electricity in the U.S. and many other countries is increasingly being supplied by unregulated firms competing to sell their product in competitive markets. Developers of the new merchant plants face a different set of risks than the regulated vertically integrated utilities that formerly …

Short-Term Forecasting of Power Flows over Major Pacific Northwestern Interties: Using Box and Jenkins ARIMA Methodology
The deregulation of the Electricity Sector in US has led to a tremendous increase in the inter-regional wholesale electricity trade between neighboring utilities or regions. For instance, the generation deficit regions may choose to import power from surplus regions; thus the wholesale electricity …
