The significance of interconnector counter-trading in a security constrained electricity market

摘要: Abstract Throughout the European Union there is an increasing amount of wind generation being dispatched-down due to binding power system operating constraints from high levels generation. This paper examines impact a non-synchronous penetration limit has on dispatch-down and quantifies significance interconnector counter-trading priority dispatching power. A fully coupled economic dispatch security constrained unit commitment model Single Electricity Market Republic Ireland Northern British Trading Transmission Arrangement was used in this study. The key finding reduces wind. capability counter-trade interconnectors increase 50% 55% by 311 GW h decreases total electricity payments consumer €1.72/MW h. In terms market integration, results show importance developing individual markets that allow operators ensure
