BEM (Bi-level electricity modeling) - Oligopolistic capacity expansion with subsequent market-bidding under transmission constraints

Within the Energy-Economy-Society (EES) research programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, the Energy Economics Group at PSI in collaboration with the University of Zurich investigates the investment and market behavior of power utilities.

For the methodology, we use multilevel equilibrium market models of Nash-Cournot type. The first level is the investment of the players, and the second level is the market-exchange of electricity. Investigated issues comprise: Market power, Investment risk, risk-averse decision-making, and transmission constraints. The modeling is intended to be with real-world data; we consider the potential of large companies or of countries in Europe to exert market power. The market clearing is limited by transmission constraints, and players face different investment risks, such as regulatory uncertainty and stochastic fuel prices. The analysis may allow regulators to better design investment and market rules to ensure acceptable electricity prices for consumers.
