HOW THE POWER SYSTEM WORKS
THE POWER GRID
• The power grid is the electrical power system network comprised of the generating plant, the
transmission lines, the substation, transformers, the distribution lines and the consumer.

TRANSMISSION
• The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) is a private corporation awarded concession
to operate and maintain the Philippine transmission system.
• Serves as Network Service Provider, System Operator and wholesale Metering Services Provider – all
functions assumed from the National Transmission Corporation.

PRIMARY RESPONSE VS PRIMARY RESERVE
• Primary Response is NOT an Ancillary Service • Primary Reserve is the allocated MW capacity to be
injected to the Grid to replace the capacity lost
• It is autonomous actions (response) provided during contingent events.

governors to stabilize Frequency in response under Governor Control mode [certified and
contracted by the System Operator or offering in

• Hence, Primary Response is an inertial energy

Units and is NOT an injection of power (MW)
that is being delivered to the Grid.

THE PHILIPPINE ELECTRICITY MARKET
FRAMEWORK
43
UNIFORM PRICE AUCTION
• The overall objective of economic power systems operation is to produce power at the lowest total
cost.
44
DEMAND IS PRICE-TAKER
45
WESM IS THE DEFAULT MARKET FOR SELLERS AND BUYERS
• A Generator sells all its production in the WESM and a Customer (DU) buys all its requirements in the
WESM, unless, they have a bilateral contract and their transaction is settled outside the WESM
• RCOA effectively places Contestable Customers in the WESM (whose connection is conveyed through
its Distribution Wheeling Service Agreement (DWSA)
• A bilateral contract is basically a hedge benefitting both buyers and sellers with business stability.
WESM Rules on net settlement allow the parties to settle their bilateral contract transaction outside
of the market
46
SUMMARY
• Uniform Price Auction promotes economic dispatch because of the financial incentives for the suppliers to bid
their short-run marginal cost
• The market framework seeks short-run efficiency:
• Output is produced by least-cost suppliers
• Output is consumed by those most willing to pay
• The right quantity is produced
• Generators win market share by offering low prices (Generators are more likely to bid at their marginal cost)
• Demand is currently a “Price-Taker”
• There are rules to thwart and prevent generators from exercising market power:
• Must Offer Rule → physical withholding
• Price Cap → economic withholding
• Secondary Price Cap → “too-high-too-long”
• The spot market operates under WESM Rules
47
CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRICITY PRICES
48
CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRICITY PRICES
• WESM prices are volatile (temporary price spikes and mean reverting)
✔ Month to month, day to day, hour to hour changes
✔ The business of entities selling and buying in the WESM are exposed to volatility risk
49
MEAN REVERTING
• If there is a shock in prices (unexpected jump, either up or down), prices will return or revert
eventually to the level before the shock. The time it takes to revert is often referred to as the time to
reversion. If the process is very persistent, it might take a long time to revert to the mean.

SUMMARY
• Seasonality has effect in supply and demand
• Random walk with Mean Reversion - if there is a shock in prices, it will return or revert eventually to
the level before the shock
• Prices gravitates around production cost and demand level
• Locational price differences - line rental, wheeling charges, transmission charges

• Demand Bidding (Future)
GROSS POOL
• All generator participants shall submit offers (the maximum available capacity) to be scheduled in

NET SETTLEMENT
• A day after actual trading day, each generator participant declares the contracted volumes from what
was delivered to the grid. Generation quantity not declared as contracted volume will be settled by
WESM as spot sales;
• Only spot quantity is settled at market price. Bilateral contracts are settled outside of WESM based
on applicable supply agreements.
69
LOCATIONAL MARGINAL PRICING/ NODAL PRICING
• Marginal price is computed at each node or location in the power system to reflect cost of
transmission line loss or congestion, or both.

LOCATIONAL MARGINAL PRICING/ NODAL PRICING
• Cost of supplying energy at a specific location, considering generation price, cost of losses and cost

• The system marginal price is set by the marginal plant.

MARKET DISPATCH OPTIMIZATION MODEL
(MDOM)
73
THE MARKET DISPATCH OPTIMIZATION MODEL (MDOM)
• MDOM provides schedules and prices as a result of maximizing the economic gains to trading participants
74
MDOM BASIC ALGORITHM
Maximize the Economic Gains for the Trading Participants (TP) by:
1. MAXIMIZING the total amount of load served ← Customer Bids
&
2. Scheduling generators to MINIMIZE
• Total generation cost
← Generators Offer
• Total reserves costs
• Total cost of constraint violations
75
MDOM MATHEMATICAL FORMULA
where:
DBi,j - Demand bid quantity of customer “i”
PDBi,j - Price of demand bid of customer “i”
Gi,j - Energy quantity offer of generator “i”
PGi,j - Price of energy offer of generator “i”
Ri,j,k - Reserve quantity offer of ancillary services provider “i” in a reserve zone
PRi,j,k - Price of reserve offer of ancillary services provider “i” in a reserve zone
CVP - Total cost of constraint violation (penalty for not satisfying a constraint)
