Locational Marginal Pricing - with Ed Birkett

The Substation Podcast

46:55

The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Skip Rates in the Electricity Market 35:17

大约1年之前35:17

35:17

Tom and Emma talk about skip rates - the term used to describe assets not being dispatched in the electricity market, although they're in merit. They discuss how definitions for skip rates differ across stakeholders, and talk about work underway to improve skip rates. Are they a natural part of balancing a complex system or are they avoidable quirk of old systems?…

Alternatives to Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) 42:01

大约1年之前42:01

42:01

Tom and Emma discuss options for improving locational signals on the electricity system that aren't Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP). Could reforms to network access, network charging, new markets and services send better signals to the market and reduce constraint costs? Could these options be easier to implement than LMP, and reduce potential investor uncertainty? And why can't we just build more wires?…

In the third episode in the series about the role of demand in energy markets, Emma and Tom speak to Alex Schoch, global head of flexibility at Octopus Energy. They discuss how Demand Side Response will evolve to become intelligent demand. Read the Octopus blog about this at: https://octopus.energy/blog/intelligent-demand/…

In the second in a series on the role of demand in energy, Tom and Emma talk about the arrangements in GB gas and electricity systems that are used when the market fails to balance supply and demand. What are the steps taken to avoid disconnecting demand? How is energy rationed when there isn't enough, and how do we return back to normal market operations afterwards?…

In the first in a series about energy demand, Emma and Tom discuss how demand interacts with energy, covering energy efficiency, demand side response, demand destruction and rota disconnections. How should different kinds of demand be incentivised, now and in the future?

32:58

In the third episode on electricity market design, Tom and Emma ask "What is Time?". But they're not physicists, so they can't answer this question. But they can answer: What's a Settlement Period? What's an EFA Block? What do futures contracts represent? All this - and more - in the latest episode of the Substation Podcast.…

Alternatives to locational pricing - with Adam Bell 52:02

52:02

Locational Marginal Pricing seems to be high on the policy agenda after it featured heavily in the Review of Electricity Market Arrangements released recently by BEIS, Emma and Tom chat with Adam Bell from Stonehaven as they attempt to tease apart the strengths and weaknesses of this approach to market design, and discuss possible alternatives.…

A Clean Energy Standard - with George Day 46:49

3年之前46:49

46:49

How might a clean Energy Standard help the energy system deploy towards Net Zero in a cost effective way? A clean energy standard places obligations on consumers and suppliers to secure firm low carbon power. Emma and Tom catch up with George Day from the Energy Systems Catapult to talk through some of the implications of its design, its strengths and weaknesses and compare it to some other ideas like market splitting or locational marginal pricing (LMP). You can read more about the proposals here: https://es.catapult.org.uk/report/rethinking-electricity-markets-the-case-for-emr-2/…

Emma and Tom talk about the latest development in market design in GB, the Government's Review of the Electricity Market Arrangements - REMA. It will be a wide-ranging review, with an ambitious scope, considering all aspects of markets and mechanisms. They talk about historical experience with market reform in GB, possible interventions following REMA, tne importance of governance, and the importance of good acronyms.…

In the second in the series on electricity market design, Tom and Emma discuss the two different approaches to pricing and despatch in electricity markets –central despatch and self despatch. They talk about how we moved from a centralised 'pool' market to a de-centralised market in Great Britain and ask whether there could be a case to move back again.…

Market design - is it time to move away from marginal pricing? 33:01

3年之前33:01

33:01

In this episode, Tom and Emma dive into electricity market design. Marignal pricing is a key concept in electricity market design, with the most expensive unit needed to meet demand setting the price for all generators. They explain Marginal Pricing and ask whether in a world of rising gas prices and increasing proportions of renewables the marginal pricing principle is still fit for purpose. Could a two phase market work, with a separate 'green power pool' so that pricing is no longer set by expensive fuelled generation? How would this work, and what would the implications be?…

Security of supply mechanisms in a net zero world 47:29

In the third in the series on security of supply mechansims, Tom and Emma ask how they may need to change in the light of net zero. With a changing generation mix, market fundamentals and a climate, how will markets ensure that approrpiate signals are sent to firm, reliable (and clean) capacity to keep the lights on?…

Security of supply market mechansims 37:51

In the second on a series on security of supply, Tom and Emma talk about market mechanisms for insuring security of supply; how signals are sent to market participants to help keep the lights on - capacity mechansims, pricing signals, ancillary services, price controls, and retirement homes for old power stations. They ask questions such as: What are the options for designing a capacity mechanism? What is an energy only market? How does network capacity support security of supply?…
