Abstract

This paper addresses the evolving methods for electronic scheduling of electricity in North America, and specifically in the US. Beginning with the desired ends, as expressed in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission´s (FERC´s) Standard Electricity Market Design (SMD) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR), the authors take into consideration the transitional issues from current methods, and finally consider the long-term support issues necessary to develop fully coordinated markets for transmission, energy, and ancillary services.
