Abstract

Advanced analytical tools are enabling the estimation of new measures of operational reliability in power systems. In bid-based power markets, these estimates could be included in the information set that is provided to bidders. Such information could lead to improved market efficiency due to more informed decision-making, or to opportunistic bidding strategies that adversely affect economic efficiency. The paper explores the relationship between risk assessment and bidding strategies. Implications of that relationship for market information policies are assessed. Of particular focus is information on operational reliability effects of incremental changes in generation levels
