2006-02 Electricity Market Integration and Tariffs Harmonization
November 27-19, 2006

Objectives

Electricity Markets started in Chile still in the 80th had a major development in England and Wales in the early 90th and since then spread to South and North America, to Australia and New Zealand and to Europe. At the beginning, electricity markets involved the separation of generation activities from transmission and from distribution and the creation of new mechanisms to relate demand and supply. In a second step, distribution activities were separated in wiring and retailing bringing competition closer to the end consumers. As the process went on, we also started to witness multinational experiences with the increase of international trades and, in some cases, experiences leading to the merge of trading structures that should imply the harmonization of several regulatory and operational practices. Finally, the strong impulse to the installation of large amounts of wind capacity experienced in some countries together with the presence of important hydro resources in some others should be carefully analysed and discussed.

This course aims at providing a forum to discuss issues related with market merging namely in view of already existing multinational electricity markets as the NordPool and of the future implementation of the Iberian Electricity Market, MIBEL. In this scope, in this course they will be discussed issues as market modelling, system operation, congestion management, tariff regulation (namely for transmission and distribution), quality of service, integration of wind resources, hydro capacity, cogeneration plants and PV systems, together with the treatment given to stranded costs and capacity payments.

The course is intended for professionals from regulatory agencies, from generation, transmission, distribution, retailing companies and distributed generation promoters, as well as researchers from universities and research centers.

He has also authored or co-authored more than 100 papers presented in several international workshops, conferences and in international technical journals. In 2002 he co-authored the book entitled Electricity Markets – Regulation and Tariffs for the Use of Networks (in Portuguese) edited by FEUPEdições, the editor of the Faculty of Engineering – Universidade do Porto His main areas of interest are:
- Power system expansion planning and operation;
- Integration of uncertainties in power system models;
- Electricity market issues;
- Fuzzy Sets and its Applications to Power Systems.
Since 1985 he also collaborates with the Power Systems Unit of INESC Porto, where he has been involved in several projects and consultancy studies, as the following ones:
- he was responsible for a project financed by the Portuguese National Science Foundation to develop an object oriented platform for optimal operation of distribution networks;
- he collaborated in a contract with the Portuguese Regulatory Board for the Electric Sector to study and analyse Quality of Service Issues, regarding practices in several countries and proposals to incorporate in the Portuguese legislation;
- he was responsible for a contract with the Portuguese Regulatory Board for the Electric Sector to study and analyse tariff schemes for the use of electricity networks;
- he was responsible for contracts with the Company responsible for the supply of water to metropolitan area of Greater Oporto to evaluate proposals in the tendering process regarding the implementation of the Management and Telecontrol System of Water Supply Network;
- he collaborated in a contract with the Portuguese Regulatory Board for the Electric Sector to study and analyse the technical conditions of connexion of consumers and generators to electricity networks;
- he collaborated in a contract with Portuguese Regulatory Board for the Electric Sector to study and analyse methodologies related to transmission and distribution expansion planning in order to evaluate the expansion plans;
- he was responsible for a contract with the Portuguese Regulatory Board for the Electric Sector to study and analyse the calculation of nodal coefficients reflecting network losses and congestion;
- he was responsible or collaborated in several consultancy studies with the electricity companies of Açores and Madeira archipelagos to study their generation and transmission expansion plans as well as other regulatory issues.
